I guess it is not a coincidence, but just in case that you don't know it already, patio11 is giving a talk at a presentation group we have here called "Design Matters", at the Osaka Shinsaibashi Apple Store. It will be great.
Check out http://designmatters.jp/
This group was initiated by Garr Raynolds of http://www.presentationzen.com/ but Garr became very busy, so since last year, together with another guy we run the show.
Sorry to barge in but I'd love to go to this; the website just mentions something for April 5th though; can I assume that patio11's talk is on from 7pm at the Apple Store in Shinsaibashi this Friday?
I'd also be interested in grabbing a coffee some time with others from HN; my e-mail is in my profile, please drop me a line :)
No not THIS Friday, it is scheduled for, Jul 29th Fri
at 7pm at the 2F of Shinsaibashi apple store.
I am very sorry, the site is not updated yet (because I didn't have time to get to it yet :( Sorry, things are getting a little crazy with day job recently... )
