Just like last year, I had a great time at Northern Voice. Like many (good) conferences, there is always too many people you want to talk to or meet and simply not enough time. Maybe next year there should be a scheduled block of ‘hanging in main hall’ just so you have a little more…
One of the cool side benefits of going to the Interactive portion of SXSW is that you get exposed to the Film and Music festivals. Unless you purchase a gold passport, your Interactive badge won’t get you into those events, panels and parties…well, maybe the parties but they have armed guards preventing the film geeks…

Why don’t you skip (or postpone) your trip to the bar on Saturday night and head down to the Free Geek headquarters and hack your router. I’ve got a Linksys router that has been sitting in a box since I got my Airport Extreme and I’ve been meaning to hack it so come join the…
