I assume the fact that the "sessions + speakers" is in the wrong font indicates that they've got someone updating it that doesn't quite know what they are doing. I'd happily help him with it to get a pass to Flash Belt... Yeah the website has always got on my nerves a little, especially the scroll wheel issue.

I only wish I had heard about it sooner. 2) No disrepect intended—I realize the website is for a Flash event, but was it really necessary to build the whole website in Flash? Not being able to select, copy and past text (to quickly send myself an email reminder) or scroll at my normal speed (using the mouse wheel) seem a bit counter-intuitive to me. When it looks like HTML, I tend to expect it function like HTML. Two quick comments:
