I’ll be heading over to London, my favorite city in the world (so far, anyway), to give a full-day workshop on building a custom CMS using Django. The workshop is being put on my the awesome folks at Carsonified, and you can register right now, if you like! Having been to several Carsonified events, I can say with a great deal of certainty that no one out there runs conferences and workshops more smoothly than this crew. Should be a great day.
I will definitely blog at more length about this event in the near future, but for now, head over to the Carson Workshops site and check it out. Visit site »

Having just been in London for the first time, I was really fascinated by the “helpful distortion” in the Tube map. It’s a brilliant design decision to have the Underground map not necessary that related to the overground geography that makes the Tube map so simple to read and understand. It’s a simple solution, but it took a bold decision to make it happen — most people simply aren’t comfortable with the lack of geographical relationship between stations and compared to overground landmarks. The proposed NYC “Kick map” is possibly even better — a really great solution that will probably never get implemented. Visit site »
