- Listen to My SXSW Panel
- 05/16/2011
- It's mid-May. That is about two months after I returned home from this year's SXSWi. So I guess it is about time I posted a follow up, no? But, unlike previous years, I won't be doing an exhaustive recap of the amazing people I spent time with (you know who you are) or the awesome times that were had (that I actually remember). I simply just don't have the time. What I do have time for is a quick recap…
- Third Time’s the Charm
- 02/13/2011
- Ever since my first SXSW, it has been the conference I look forward to most. Sure, the panels can be good. The parties can rock.

This one's a long-ass post, so get comfortable. If you couldn't give a shit…
- Going Back for SXSW Seconds
- 03/02/2010
- To say I had an amazing time at last year's SXSW would be an understatement. So, of course, I'm going back this year. I'm taking the same approach this time around: flexibility. I'm not planning anything. Yes, I want to make it to Happy Cog'aoke 2. Yes, I want to be sure to catch Stephen Anderson's panel, The Art & Science of Seductive Interactions. Yes, I want to hit the frog design party. But stuff happens … hangovers, running into…
