Telligent was invited to participate in the Austin PhizzPop event. PhizzPop is an event where interactive agencies get the chance to really push the limits of design. As stated on the PhizzPop site:

The PhizzPop Design Challenge pits top interactive, Web, and design agencies against one another to push the limits of technology and creativity in a battle royale. Think Mad Max for design.

Great. Sounds intense… or just like another day at the office 🙂

We’re sending our team to Austin for the event on the 14th. I’d like to win (yes, I’m somewhat competitive) but I’m also just happy to participate. It’s a great chance to flex our design muscles and get people from our team pushing the creative envelope with some of the exciting new Microsoft technologies.

I also just made my reservation for Mix 2008.

I missed Mix 2007 last year and regretted it. I can’t remember why I missed, I think it was probably due to something like trying to have a life outside of work. But hey, who needs that. My New Year’s resolution for 2008 is to fully embracing my workaholic life.

Ok, no not really.

I’m going to Mix 2008 because its relevant, because Microsoft has a kick-ass web developer platform, and I know there will be other people there that I want to talk to. Oh yeah, and I also want to see Guy in person! Kudos to Microsoft for getting him to participate.
