Simon Elvery: CSS3 Pseudo Classes and Elements
The range of pseudo classes made available in CSS3 is a huge improvement to the status quo. In addition to pseudo classes, CSS3 introduces the concept of pseudo elements which didn't (really) exist before. We'll look at the range of pseudo elements and classes defined by the CSS3 specification, what makes them 'pseudo' and how you can start using them right now.

Lawrence Lau
The talk about Seductive design was illuminating. The current buzz with Web 2.0 startups is consumer facing social. The US VC funding model has shifted (Y combinator model), for 10k you can get early traction and go global from day zero. As such Luke's talk on techniques for sites to becomie magnetic using practical psychology is practical and well-timed

Mike ClahsenFirst meeting last night. The Edge was a great venue, the night was very well organised and the speakers did a great job - well done everyone! Plenty of thoughts and ideas to take away. Interesting user psychology design concepts to think about; the use of selectivizr.com to get around IE 6/7/8's lack of support for CSS3 - seems to have merit but would be interested to hear of anyone's practical experience with it.
