If you listen to the podcast of the closing panel from @media 2006, around the 24:16 mark, you'll hear Jon Hicks mention my name in the context of his thoughts on the trend of developers hoping to get bought by companies like Google and Yahoo!, and what that means for the quality of web applications. We spent a good deal of time the night before talking about what he mentions, and it was nice of him to mention me. At the time, however, it scared the hell out of me because I was digging around in my bag making noise and when I heard my name I thought someone was calling me out for being an ass.
(I meant to post this a while back, but I forgot, and the audio wasn't available until a few days ago.)
