Stock phototography is for idiots…

…and I’m one of them.

Ever get sick and tired of the seemingly never ending bank of dopey stock photography that gets deployed on low budget corporate websites? You’re not alone – listen to the angry man speak again.

FOWD

The Future of Web Design conference was last week and there’s ample summary of the event on blogs and flickr. My take on it was that the whole thing was pretty well put together by Ryan and the rest of the folks over at Carson Systems with some great speakers drawn from some of the best people working in new media today.
 
Some bits did disappoint (particularly the Flash v. Standards slot which offered no real new insights or thinking on the issue). Minor crits aside though it’s a great event on the calendar for anybody working in new media and if you blag, buy or borrow a copy of the day’s presentations its well worth it.

Web 2.0 social networking

What are you doing this weekend? Perhaps you could party hard with 200 other people that you met on the internet. Mind you, I don’t know if I want to be getting into ‘house rape’ on my nights out.
