When I first saw the announcement and website a week or so ago I thought it was just hilarious and *so* wished I could attend. Apparently I am not the only one as the small little get together had to be moved to a bigger venue to accommodate all the attendees who already RSVP'd.

To view the announcement visit: http://ie6funeral.com/ and the blog post by the design company sponsoring the event: http://atendesigngroup.com/blog/ie6funeral

In their own words: "Those unable to attend the funeral are asked to send flowers. Funeral attire is encouraged. Funeral attire is encouraged."

Just too funny :)

I am very disappointed but also know there is nothing none of us could have done to prevent the postponement of the event. We can't control mother nature and she is sure showing she rules today.

Gusting winds and powdery snow on already icy surfaces make a good combination for disaster. Lots of accidents have been reported around the GTA and many flights cancelled, including Rafael Diaz-Tushman's, our presenter.

The JUGT will be informing all members of the new date via mass mail so if you are not a registered member at the site yet, sign up to receive up to date information on this and other events to come.

I have lived in Canada for almost 12 years now but the friendliness, warmth, colors and style I carry with me are all definitely derived from my Brazilian background.

I keep in touch with designer/developer friends back home and check lots of Brazilian blogs, magazines, design studios regularly not only for inspiration but for new trends and things "stirring the pot" so to speak.
