As you all know, webDU (formerly known as MXDU) is some sort of a special event for me. Besides the facts that it coined Diane‘s and my love for the southern hemisphere, that we’ve got married one day before MXDU 2004 (actually on the n-th birthday of Geoff “Legendary Creature” Bowers who was also my […]

by kai 21/04/2008

My company (Ventego Creative) is running a Flex 3 training class later in May in Wellington, NZ. You might ask yourself what’s so special about it?
