I'll start with the bad news - Ian Turner, a well known contributor at WebMasterWorld forums has dissapeared after the conference ended. Everyone in SEO is hoping you turn up OK, Ian. If you have information or want to know more and try to help, there's a thread on the subject with information from his family at Threadwatch.

The good news is that my long awaited interview with Dr. Garcia is now available on SEOmoz. In it, we discuss issues like search spam, the IR & SEO worlds butting heads and even a few optimization tactics. I highly encourage reading it.
