TypeCon 2003
I’m getting all fired up over the upcoming Typecon 2003 conference that is quickly approaching. Last night I finally had a chance to look over the names of the speakers coming to Minneapolis and realized that I didn’t know a great deal of them or their work. The typecon2003 site where the list of speakers appears didn’t include and URL’s for these folks So armed with my trusty Google tool, I went and tracked down as much info as I could on these type tutors. Some pretty dynamic stuff. It’s going to be hard to decide where to spend my time. Where I could, I found information on the individual, failing that I linked to their organization(s). Individuals who maintain weblogs are designated with a (*). Don’t forget to check out last years conference type gallery.
