			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For 2008, I set a goal for myself. I wanted to speak at <a href="http://www.webvisionsevent.com">Web Visions</a> and the <a href="http://en.oreilly.com/velocity2008/public/content/home/">Velocity Conference</a>. Other than internal and client presentations, I didn&#8217;t have much to point to as a history of public speaking to warrant anyone granting me an audience.</p>
<p>Looking back on the year, I&#8217;m surprised with how radically different this year was from previous years. By my count, I spoke at 11 events this year:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.beerandblog.com/">Beer and Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="http://gnomedex.com">GnomeDex</a></li>
<li>Guest Lecturer at PSU Web Development Class</li>
<li><a href="http://ignitenyc.org/">Ignite NYC</a></li>
<li><a href="http://igniteportland.com">Ignite Portland</a></li>
<li><a href="http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2008/">OSCON</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.portlandadfed.com/events/details.php?id=2%E2%80%99">Portland Advertising Federation Panel on Mobile</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.pdxwi.com/">Portland Web Innovators</a></li>
<li><a href="http://en.oreilly.com/velocity2008/public/content/home/">Velocity Conference</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.web2expo.com/webexny2008/public/content/home">Web 2.0 Expo NYC</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.webvisionsevent.com">Web Visions</a></li>
</ul>
<p>I guess I can check that goal off my list as completed. Now about that regular exercise and diet&#8230;</p>
