We were very pleased to be invited to the Yahoo Design Group Dinner on Monday night! The dinner was a gathering of web design, UI, and user experience icons from around the country. Currently, the Web Design World conference is going on in SF so there are even more talented people than usual in the bay area right now.

I was fortunate to meet Larry Tesler, VP of user experience and design, Havi Hoffman, Catalyst for Social Media Marketing, Joy Mountford (founder of Apple's International Interface Design Project), and Julie Stanford of Sliced Bread Design. My partner Emily Chang spoke to Don Norman, Jared Spool, Peter Merholz and Jeff Veen among others.

Most of the discussion I had was about web 2.0 technologies and design. Yahoo seemed genuinely interested in the subject.

We also discussed doing some podcasts with the Yahoo Design Group in the near future. Thanks to Yahoo for a great event.
