Voices That Matter: Web Design Conference
The Voices That Matter: Web Design Conference is taking place in June, and I have a pair of tickets worth $1,390 to give to one lucky reader.
A short conference blurb
New Riders’ Voices That Matter: Web Design Conference, now in its fourth consecutive year, will take place June 28-29 in San Francisco and is well-timed to coincide with the evolving functionality in the HTML5 and CSS3 specs, the number of new ways in which people access the Web, and the rise of social media.
It’s an opportunity to discuss web design’s most critical topics with industry experts. The event will open with a keynote address from Jesse James Garrett, author of The Elements of User Experience: User-Centered Design for the Web and close with an address by Steve Krug, author of the well-known book Don’t Make Me Think and the brand new Rocket Surgery Made Easy: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fixing Usability Problems.
There are plenty more talented speakers completing the line-up, including Paul Adams, senior user experience researcher at Google, Dan Cederholm of SimpleBits, and Robert Hoekman Jr., author of Designing the Obvious: A Common Sense Approach to Web Application Design.

How to win
Leave a comment (or send an email) with a link to a photo that makes you smile. Add any text you think is appropriate, too, and keep the photos clean, because I might republish them here on the blog, linking back to your website in the process (if that’s okay with you).
I’ll draw a winner on Wednesday 28th April, updating this post and contacting the person by email.

Unfortunately, I don’t know who shot this picture, but it’s so warm and fuzzy and all, a real life Simba and his father ;)

It always makes me smile when I see how a man can change (for good) when a son is born. It’s a beautiful thing.

This is my wife, in her wedding dress on our 20th anniversary. 20 years later, she is still smokin’ hot, and the story she shares beneath it of how we met, along with this picture, always makes me smile.

I almost laughed out loud, Adam.
Some excellent images, already, and for very different reasons, too, which I like.
Well, this is my daughter last christmas. Life is so much better at 3 yrs old.

This is the youngest person I’ve ever seen receive a standing ovation. Never fails to make me smile. I snapped this at a Colgate University hockey game.

Hello David and friends! I am unfortunately ineligible for your contest (other travel plans during those dates) but I wanted to share a photo anyway!
This is a photo of Woody Allen, taken in New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1963. Definitely makes me smile. Photo by Ruth Orkin.

Walt Disney on the opening day of Disneyland. It’s a reminder that nothing is impossible. No one believed that he’d be able to build an amusement park in 1 year.
No one believed in or supported me when I made the decision to move away to design school. I’m graduating on June 18th, and have potential clients waiting to work with me.

I found the picture of my friend. This picture makes me smile when I see it every time.
My (late) cat, Sunny. If he were any more laid back, he’d be in a coma.

And I even made a motivational poster out of it:

He’s gone now, buried behind the house, but this is the one photo guaranteed to elicit a smile rather than tears. :)
