Cleveland Web Standards Meetup Group
Shazam! It just occurred to me that we had a fantastic turnout at the meetup last week. 14 people showed and everyone was cool. It's great to mix it up in person with folks who's on-line icons are more familiar to me than their actual faces.
A lot of talented people were in the group as well. Dan Ott showed off his newly launched redesign of the Cleveland Free Times site. He did both the front and back-end work - nice.
Nate Klaiber shared some of his valuable web standards knowledge with others in the group in a small breakout session. If you're looking for a rough idea of what books to read to get up to speed with your web development skills, Nate's book reviews are an excellent place to begin.
Brad Dielman is cranking out a small armada of clean looking, standards based web sites in his spare time.
And last but not least renowned CSS expert Eric Meyer showed up. Kind of like having Noah Webster show up at your English Vocabulary Hobbyists Group.
There were lot of people I'm not mentioning here that displayed some great talent and, my favorite part, enthusiasm for the craft of web design. Makes me excited for the future.

Great post on the meetup. I'm hoping to get my company's website redesign up very soon. I was trying to get it ready for Tuesday, but I still have quite a bit to do. the layout and visual elements are pretty much done, its the typography that's causing me the most problems at the moment.
Little Sorters is on hold until I get a chance to shoot the pictures for the products. I may be picking your brain for some photography tips.

The only photography tip I have to offer is to take three hundred shots of the exact same thing and hold your breath that one will look good once viewed on the computer monitor. :)
