Last night i attended a cocktail party in Sydney which featured the Enigmatic Matthew Mengerink and Magento Founder Roy Ruben from the X.Commerce team.

Startup Bus was created in 2010 by an Australian (Woot Represent!) to help showcase the talents of the chosen “Buspreneurs” which are made up of not only developers but those with the gift of seeing opportunities in innovation where others dont. The rules are simple, 48 hours to create startups while on a bus using only the resources that are at hand (on the bus).

Ok so i am now a Magento convert, before going to the X.Commerce conference this year i really didnt like it mostly because its a pain to dev in. Well to be fair its still a pain to dev in (the folder structure alone will do your left mouse button in) but once you get used to it its kinda not that bad and it does have a great community supporting it which would be one of the many reasons why eBay/PayPal purchased it.

So excited, this is the biggest tech event of the year and everyone thats everyone will be there. This will be my 3rd year at PayPal Innovate and for anyone thats a developer, designer or involved with the web industry this is the place to be, even if you cant get over everything is live streamed from the event although i will be running live streaming from my ustream.

Last week Facebook made what id call one of the most dramatic changes in how it functionally operates by allowing people do change how they display information.
