One of my favourite ever speak­ers at Web Directions, and favourite web folks ever, is the incred­i­bly tal­ented diversely inter­ested (one of the first google maps mashups (pre api), Django founder, his Firefox exten­sions were the inspi­ra­tion for Greasemonkey, and he is a very tal­ented jazz gui­tarist) Adrian Holovaty. Recently his new ven­ture, Everyblock (think Chicago crime (now part of Everyblock) for every­thing) launched. If you’d like to know more about it, here’s an excel­lent inter­view with Rex Sorgatz.

You can prob­a­bly tell by how many paren­the­sis the above para­graph con­tains just how richly diverse Adrian’s achieve­ments are (did I men­tion I was a fan?).

   You never know!

   We’ll be ask­ing for sug­ges­tions as to speak­ers, and sub­ject areas, includ­ing call­ing for folks who might be inter­ested in pre­sent­ing shortly. Keep an eye on the blog, and past atten­dees will also receive an email let­ting them know when this is hap­pen­ing — but stay tuned
