Daniel Mall is an acclaimed web designer who works with some of the best in the business at Happy Cog Studios. Long time readers may remember the interview I did with him in the early days of this blog.

Daniel is submitting a panel idea for the next SXSW festival called “Cross-Pollination: Breeding a Better Web”, or in his words…

The web’s history is full of accidental innovation. By scrutinizing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, and other familiar technologies, we’ll explore how unlikely combinations can spark evolution and show that even individuals operating outside the various standards bodies can advance the industry.

To make the panel even more exciting he will be working with the illustrious Shaun Inman (of Mint fame).

It sounds like a cool discussion. If you want to join me in supporting his panel idea cast your vote in the SXSW Panel Picker.
