ut.ag was invited to speak at WebJam8, part of the Web Directions South conference, last night at Bar Broadway in Ultimo, Sydney.

Kim Heras (one of our co-founders) flew the flag for us and delivered an awesome presentation to the tough crowd of 350 web die-hards who were getting quite unruly after 2 hours of free booze.
I'm stoked that he managed to slip the Fail Snail in there when he first clicked over to the site. Even though it was half chopped of by the lousy screen res, everyone knew what it was and it was a hit. Totally staged of course, Kim didn't step a foot wrong and delivered a really common-sense and engaging presentation that not only showed us how to use the site but gave a good background about why there's a demand for this.

Overall it was a great night. There was a good mix of presenters - some totally geeky/abstract, some really amazing ideas, and some absolute silliness (BeerTweet?).
My colleague at Massive Interactive, James McParlane, was on stage right after us and presented his Javascript finite state machine using a toaster that even burnt toast as a demo. See his blog post.

Renai Lemay (editor of ZDNet) came over to congratulate us on one of the best presentations of the night, and Kim and I got our mugshots up on ZDNet: http://ut.ag/kG0. (I'm "friend" :) )
