What a great time I had at Ignite Seattle last week. Its a geek-heavy event that couples making cool things as well as speed rounds for talks. In all, 22 people spoke (each for 5 minutes; 20 slides, 15 seconds per slide) with about 400 people in attendance when all was said and done.
I was lucky enough to be one of the earlier speakers and I got to talk about OpenID (can you believe it?!). It was really cool when Brady introduced me and so many people applauded and ooh’d and aah’d when he mentioned I was going to talk about OpenID. Some folks have put up my slides and even talked about my talk. Very cool (and yet quite surreal).
My favorite picture that I found was this one that really shows the enormity of the event … very cool! Yep, that’s me up there talking about how OpenID is sweeping the nation! Thanks Brady and the rest of the Ignite Seattle crew for having me!
Videos are on the way and will be here when they get uploaded. I’ll post an update to this when its up.

Sorry - this is not about ignite - but about your cool Jyte Profile badge that I’ve just noticed. How do I link to my own? :)

Heh … as soon as I actually make it look nice, I’ll share with the world … in the mean time, you can use ‘curl’ to this url: http://jyte.com/api/user/info?openid=kveton.myopenid.com
Obviously you’ll want to put your own OpenID in there … :-)
