Although the speakers from Ignite Salt Lake City weren’t invited by the prestigious TED Conference to talk, they all had something interesting to say and did it all with only a few minutes and a couple of slides.

I was incredibly sick during the last Ignite, so I feel lucky to be able to watch the videos of some of the presentations online. My favorite, of course, was Jason Alderman and Matthias Shapiro’s Mobile Developer Rap Battle.

If you look carefully at the slides, I make a cameo as the Steampunker at the Avatar convention, so I was at Ignite in spirit if not in presence.
