Reader Survey #1
After two issues it’s time for me to stop and ask you, my dear readers, what you like or dislike about the overall direction of the magazine.

Say hello at Smashing Conference!
Since I’m in Germany for the next few months, I’m going to make most of my time here and will try to meet as many of you as possible. One of the best ways to do this is attending conferences.
There is a new one held in Germany this year, and that is the Smashing Conference. I will be there during the conference part to give away a few copies and meet and greet some of you lovely...
