I finally received my Moo cards that I had ordered at the beginning of February. This was my third batch and it was strangely the only one to take a really long time to arrive. I wonder if it had anything to do with an influx of orders from people getting them for SXSW which…
Now that Northern Voice is over, everyone is gearing up for SXSWi which starts in just over a week. My damn Moo cards better get here soon! One of the great things about attending a conference for a bunch of geeks, is that if there is anything missing or lacking from the conference organizers themselves,…
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…
If you’re planning on heading to Austin in early March to attend South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi), here’s a few tips that might be helpful to you. I’ve been twice before and this year will be my third trip to Texas. Every year it’s gotten bigger than the last and I expect this year to…
Last year, a coworker and I made a submission for a panel at SXSW Interactive. Unfortunately, we didn’t get enough votes (but thanks for yours if you took the time!) – that or it was because we’re not internet rockstars (yet). But I’m still going as an attendee and finally took a closer look at…
There is a lot going on over the next little while around town and elsewhere. Here’s just a few of the events you should check out.

Since everyone is doing it, I thought I should do the same although I have a hard time putting them in some kind of order…so they aren’t! Here is my list of the random things from last year that stood out to me in no particular order: my iPhone – in case you haven’t noticed,…
The other night after DemoCamp, kk+ asked me about my eeePC and how it might compare to the OLPC (aka One Laptop Per Child project). I got to play with one at SXSW earlier this year at the MAKE booth and wanted one very BADLY at the time. Of course, it wasn’t available to the…
Tomorrow, Friday, September 21st is the last day for voting on the submissions for panels at the 2008 South by Southwest Interactive Conference. If you have a moment, it would be great if you could vote for Frank and I. It just takes a few moments to register and vote. See my previous post for…
or something like that. Just a reminder to check out my submission for a SXSW Interactive 2008 panel/presentation….every vote helps make it happen! Get the full scoop here! Thanks for your support! While you’re at it, why not give Anne and Sande a vote too! They have two sessions up for voting and which look…
