Want me to talk?
I am in the very fortunate position to have a job that encourages me to go out there and talk at conferences, unconferences or go to companies to give a short lunch-break presentation.
I’m happy to talk about almost everything but of course there are certain subjects I am an expert in:
- Accessibility
- All tech things Yahoo (APIs, SDKs)
- Front End Development
- Online Tech writing
- JavaScript
- Mashups
- Unobtrusive JavaScript / Defensive Scripting
- Leading large development teams / distributed development
- Making complex technical “stuff” easy to understand
- Judging hack competitions and the like
If you have a conference, unconference or event and want me to be there, why don’t you put a comment here and I come back to you. I am happy to support grass-root events and should get small budgets to travel there, however if you organize a massive event where people pay good money to go to please don’t expect me to pay for my flight and hotel.
cheers

Was reading one of your online books you contributed the Art and Science of JavaScript (2007). Actually my interest is to further my expertize my coding with JavaScript, eventually to being a wed developer. You really inspired me to persue my dream.
Thank you

Is there any chance Javascript lovers can post a Robots.txt file on their sites, stating the sites you have to trust to enable functionality.
The Guardian newspaper seems to have gone to almost cold war levels to stop any mortal viewing their site without then also allowing the world and his aunt to take over your computer when you go somewhere else.

Hey Chris,
I run 3 meetup groups in Los Angeles. PHP / MySQL / Semantic Web. If you have a talk on one of these topics, would love to have you speak here. Yahoo! actually provides a venue for some of these talks, btw. I’m a huge fan of the developer network.
