Drupalcon in San Francisco was awesome but definitely bewildering. Picture three thousand geeks with at least two wireless devices each.

Last night was another great meetup held in a classroom in the Tang Center at MIT.

My notes are Cool Drupal Things to Investigate:

• Boxes module
• CCK Fieldgroup Tabs
• Workflow module

What's the Soup (whatsthesoup.net) is live! It's an online directory of restaurant listings to help people find soup varieties in their local area, as well as a food blog. You might feel hungry after spending time on the site!

The site is updated by many people. In addition to the site owners, Ed and Heather, several restaurant owners and bloggers also have their own user accounts.

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending DrupalCon Paris, held at a beautiful venue south of Paris city center. My attendance was made possible thanks to receiving one of the scholarships from the Drupal Association.

I finally made it to my first Boston Drupal meetup last night. It was held on the MIT campus and attracted a fairly large group (20 or so). The format is simple:

1. A few announcements
2. Organize a list of people who want to share or ask questions
3. Share and ask questions
4. Go to the student union for some beer and pizza

I took notes and following the policy of reuse, jotted down my notes on a spare napkin. (Okay, I'm not normally this disorganized).

I recently presented Evaluating the User Interface and User Experience at the Boston Drupal 4 Design camp, held at MIT's Stata Center.

My presentation was for web designers, Drupal themers and anyone else involved in web projects, but my message is this: test and QA your own work, but don't QA your work by yourself; always get a second pair of eyes. My talk covered* the whys and hows of best practices and testing:
