20×2 was tonight, and I was #8 in the lineup. Max and I created the movie below, and it was shown tonight… the “world premiere” if you will. Here is it, if you want to check it out. I was thrilled that people laughed in the right spots, and it got some big applause afterwards.\ […]
I went to dinner last night with some folks from the Ghost in the Machine panel and some of my favorite south-by pals. Kevin Smokler convince a bunch of loons into doing the Hokey Pokey in the median of South Congress. I, being a rational human being aware of his own mortality, did not. But, […]
Today is panel number one for me at SxSW. I just got back from lunch with the panelists, and I have to say, this panel is going to be a lot of fun. I feel a little out of place, but I’m honored that James asked me to join in the fun. The panel is […]
I stayed up way too late last night having fun with my SxSW pals Kevin Smokler, Dave Thomas and James McNally. I ended up driving us around to Bryan Busch’s SxSW Karaoke Kick-Off (not the real title, but close). I didn’t plan on singing anything, but I ended up doing a duet with MD of […]
I love SxSW, and one of my favorite events of the conference is 20×2. I got an e-mail from Kevin Newsum this evening inviting me to be a part of this year’s event!! I’ve been to the last four (I told Kevin three, but I’m sure it was the last four – I can’t believe […]
You can go get the audio from our panel at SXSW (Convincing Your Company to Embrace Web Standards to get the slides) over on their podcasts page, or get the mp3 directly.\ I just listened to it (Steve listened to it to too, and we traded jokes) and here are my totally shallow observations after […]
The ratings are in and our panel at SXSW this year averaged a 4 out of 5! That’s not bad for it being four our of five panelists’ first time doing a panel at SXSW and us totally redoing our slides in the days before we presented.\ I have two presentations at WWW this year. […]
I spent a lot of time making faces. Here’s a selection: From Porter I give Porter the thumbs up Also from Porter Betsy likes my stickers Cindy thinks I have a secret\ Several people were kind enough to take pictures during our panel:\ These are all from the talented (and gimpy) Cindy Li: Before we […]
Come to Convincing Your Company to Embrace Standards this morning! If you want a preview of the presentation, it’s here. But, it would be better if you help fill up the room. If the room is empty, I’ll be sad, although it might make doing the presentation a little easier.\ And, if you don’t care […]
Like last year’s Blogging While Black, this year’s did not disappoint. It is my favorite panel so far, and I left with a lot of interesting thoughts in my head and a lump in my throat. It expressed, through the lens of what it’s like to express your cultural identity as a black person online, […]
