Jeff and Ed celebrate 20 years together

It was very appropriate that the date 05.05.10 signified the 20th anniversary of the relationship of Jeff Fisher and Ed Cunningham. To celebrate the occasion, as a surprise to Ed, I put together a Flickr album of photo images documenting the past two decades.

Friends are encouraged to send any additional archived photos to either of us. We appreciate those contributions that are already included in the gallery.

It had been our hope to spend some time this fall in France to celebrate the milestone. However, it's just not the right time - financially and otherwise - to spend several weeks in in Paris and the South of France. It was great to recognize the date while in Boston, with a wonderful outdoor dinner, at the incredible Petit Robert Bistro. Thanks to our friend mary for the restaurant recommendation - and to Lisa and Bev for having the bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne delivered to our table.

I'll be coming back to Boston

Having never been to Boston, it's been tough having my schedule tied up so much with the HOW Design Conference where I am a Tuesday speaker. (I haven't had much of an opportunity to blog either.) Boston is an absolutely beautiful city - and the weather is certainly cooperating. I thought I'd post some photos of the incredible views from my room, and the club room, on the 29th floor of the Sheraton Hotel. Another trip to Boston will be a must for me, especially since most of my excursions have been limited to after dark adventures for dinner or drinks with other conference goers and speakers. I'll post more about my conference experiences later.

2008 HOW Design Conference site goes live

The web presence for the 2008 HOW Design Conference, to be held May 18-21, 2008 in Boston, has gone live. Information about conference registration, sessions to be held, this year's speakers, available design studio tours, making travel arrangements and Boston tourism is available on the website. The 2008 HOW Conference program includes more than 50 sessions in a variety of tracks, including Creativity & Inspiration, Design Disciplines, Career Development and more.

Attendees registering prior to the Early-Bird Deadline of March 28th will save $80 in fees.

The 2008 HOW Conference marks the fourth time I have been invited to be one of the design industry speakers making presentations. I will be speaking on "Planning, Packaging and Promoting Yourself as the Product" as part of the Career Development track.

There will also most likely be a book signing for my recently released book, Identity Crisis!: 50 Redesigns That Transformed Stale Identities into Successful Brands, at the on-site conference bookstore.

Nice little plug (above) on the HOW Forum, too. (That's where I most often hang out with my imaginary design friends.)
