Phish.com Redesign
Version 3 of Phish.com was released recently. Done in tidy and valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS. What is cool is that though I am an avid follower of Phish and their music/culture, I found out about this from zeldman.com, a site I visit daily to discover the latest in web development news. The mixing of my passions is cool to me.
Are there people out there as passionate about both Phish and web technology as I am? I want to find you. Are you in the DC Metro area? That would be even cooler.
I was talking today with Tony of simiandesign.com - a new acquaintance via a job opening at my company (BTW, Tony is smart, passionate, experienced, and unemployed. Your company should hire him.) - about the fact that web developers in the DC Metro area are a very fragmented group. We don't get together. We don't fraternize. We do our work in isolation for our particular companies. There is no networking. Not even a meetup.com interest group. There should be. Maybe there will be soon...
I work in a small company. There is only one other developer. We have 4 designers, but they are pure graphic designers, with little interest in web technology let alone things like the web standards movement or the like.
I need to find others like me. I need to get together with other developers face to face (email groups just don't do it for me). I need to see what others are doing, explore experiemental technologies, learn about new stuff - and do so with others. There have got to be others in DC that share this desire.
Is there anybody out there?
