These were highlights from the presentation not necessarily my full-on personal beliefs. (However I do find merit in all of the points made.) I simply was not aware of the browser mockups, or the notion that the fold was a dying trend until I went to An Event Apart. I guess that is a shortcoming on my part for not having kept totally up to date with the resources available. Brett,

I'd have to say, though, that I completely disagree with the notion of fold death (see ALA this month: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/visual-decision-making/) On another note, browser comps are nothing new nor are they an innovation of Andy Clarke. 37Signals has been promoting the notion of rapid prototypes for quite some time, putting this idea into print in 2006 (http://gettingreal.37signals.com/ch06_From_Idea_to_Implementation.php).

We got to stop in and hang out in Baltimore, Philly, and NYC on the way there. Pretty cool in my opinion. That being said. Yes, the drive was ridiculous lol.
