Get MIX08 onto Your Zune

sarahintampa — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 06:48:00 GMT

At the beginning of this month, MIX08, the annual Microsoft conference which brings together web developers, designers, and business and digital marketing professionals, was held in Las Vegas. From this conference, 88 video presentations were made available on the web for viewing or downloading. Each one had a "Download for Zune" button, but as Matthew Wills discovered, downloading all 88 could be a challenge. Thanks to his efforts, there is now a MIX08 RSS feed that includes all the MIX08 sessions. You can subscribe to the feed just like any other podcast. Thanks, Matthew! (via Steve, thanks for finding that!)

MIX08 Highlights > Steffen Ritter

Parallel zur CeBIT fand in Las Vegas zum dritten Mal die Microsoft MIX-Konferenz statt – die große Microsoft-Konferenz rund um die Themen Webdesign, Webentwicklung und Online Business. Mein Kollege Steffen Ritter war vor Ort und berichtet von den Highlights der MIX 08. Wer wissen will, wie „Surface“ und „Cirque du Soleil“ korrekt ausgesprochen werden, wie man Scott Guthrie zum Jonglieren bringt, oder was passiert wenn Steve Ballmer und Guy Kawasaki gemeinsam auf der Bühne stehen, der sollte sich dieses Video ansehen. Und anschließend natürlich den Microsoft Expression Designer-Newsletter abonnieren. ;-)

MIX Planning Tools

sarahintampa — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 17:45:00 GMT

MIX08 is a Microsoft-hosted conference that allows for a conversation between web developers, designers, and business professionals. This year's conference (sorry - sold out) is taking place March 5-7 in Vegas's Venetian Resort. If you're planning on going, check out these planning tools I found online designed specifically for this year's conference:

MIX08 Excel Workbook - this color-coded workbook has the entire 3-day, 76 session schedule with details about all the sessions and activities that are happening each day. Download it in XLSX format or XLS format from the istartedsomething website.
The MIX08 Schedule Management Application - For the 2nd year, Thirteen23 put together a nice Vista app for managing your MIX08 schedule. There's also a companion app available, Continuum, which integrates MSN Messenger into the sidebar.
