Local boy made good

He's originally from Kamloops, but Dave Shea now calls Vancouver home, and we work together sometimes. He's well known in the worldwide web design community for his CSS Zen Garden (not to mention very cool ideas like this one—especially the blobs).

Today, Dave and the Zen Garden won both the Best Developer's Resource and Best of Show awards for 2004 at the SXSW Interactive conference in Austin, Texas. I'm guessing he feels better about this whole mess now.

Official notice of the awards should appear on the SXSW site shortly (UPDATE: there they are), but in the meantime check out Dave's breathless blog instead (read the 9:40 pm Sunday entry).

And wish him luck in the Bloggies on Monday night (which also happens to be the evening that Prince is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame).

I'm jealous.
