I just got into work today, and what do I see? Bill Gates just mentioned microformats on stage.

I’m constantly amazed at the amount of attention the microformats project gets. I guess this raises things up another notch, though.

Just a reminder for anyone in the Bay Area that there’s an SDForum ETech SIG meeting on Microformats tomorrow night. I’ll be presenting along with Rohit, Tantek, Kevin, Ben and Ernie (I’m replacing Niall, who had a conflict).

The show is from 7-9 PM at the Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto. I’ll be leading off some some introductory material on microformats, to be followed by some more indepth demos from Ernie and Rohit.

Did I mention that there’ll be free (as in beer) pizza?

Update: The talk went well. I did the “intro to microformats” part. Here’s my slides.

Be there.

Or, at least, at one of the parties.

Or, at least, at my workshop.
