I’ve been looking through some of the photos* from last week’s Webstock conference in Wellington, and of all things a picture of this year’s Webstock computer carry bag, above, caught my eye (photo by Cle0patra).
This has to be the best one yet, I already have the 2008 and 2009 bags, so here’s hoping [...]

Webstock 2009 photos
Posted by John Lampard on Monday, 23 February, 2009 to the events subset
I’ve just spent an hour or so going through some of the many photo collections from last week’s Webstock conference in Wellington. Even though I’m not really much of a web person anymore I will get along to one of the conferences one day… they simply look too good to miss.
Anyway to get a feel [...]

Webstock 2009 kicks off in Wellington today.

Designing to the max
Posted by John Lampard on Thursday, 13 November, 2008 to the comment subset
I’ve corresponded with Russ Weakley once or twice before by email, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard from him outside of the hours midnight to three o’clock in the morning.
At first I thought there was a glitch with my mail server, but no Russ, who works two design gigs, runs the WSG, and is [...]

Webstock 09 is a go, you heard it here first (almost)
Posted by John Lampard on Friday, 13 June, 2008 to the events subset
Maybe the real scoop being Webstock is now an annual event, not biennial?
We’re working on the format for Webstock right now, but it’s likely to be similar to this year – workshops and a two day main conference. Our aim is to raise the bar yet again in terms of quality and presentation and we’ve [...]

There and Back Again
British web designer Andy Budd writes about his recent visit to New Zealand and Australia, where he spoke at Webstock and Web Directions events.
I love this paragraph about Hong Kong, “a city where east and west collide”, though:
The trip started with a two day lay-over in Hong Kong to break the journey. [...]

Posted by John Lampard on Tuesday, 22 April, 2008 to the events subset
CodeBlacks vs Silicon Welly
A late sort of mention (an announcement popped up on my Twitter feed last night), but the all conquering CodeBlacks are looking for another win, this time at a halfbaked.com challenge, as they go up against Silicon Welly in an effort to produce the best start up business plan in about 30 [...]
