I was really looking forward to SxSW this year. I’m moderating a panel I’m really excited about. I get to see all of my south-by pals, go to amazing panels and eat good food. It was a good plan, until I went to pick up the rental car and rolled my ankle turning to talk […]
Our panel on Tuesday (at SxSW if you didn’t know already) is at 10am, and you should go. But, that’s not what I’m writing about now. Thanks to Upcoming, I found out that the Comedians of Comedy are playing Austin on the 14th!!! And, better yet, Flight of the Conchords is playing too, at the […]
It’s still four months away, but I started trying to get all the AOL folks going to 2006’s interactive festival organized. I started a wiki page with our travel details, where we’re staying, things to do that I believe are happening next year (like Break Bread With Brad, Kick!, 20×2, etc) and other tips for […]
I could take a new one, but I just don’t have time between now and surgery on Friday. I think this’ll have to do.\ This photo came from my first trip to Dublin – although I should probably just ask Dan if I can use this one
You’d think that having a blog would have prepared me for this moment. For SxSW, I have to write a short and long bio… about me. You would think that someone who talks as much as I do would be able to come up with a paragraph describing myself. But, every time I start, I […]
Since we’re listed on the official panels list, I figure I can blog about it. Our panel got approved for SxSW Interactive next year!!\ It’s called How to Convince Your Company to Embrace Standards and should be a lot of fun. We’ve had a really interesting experience the past couple years trying to push AOL […]
Josh nails it. He says:\ bq. …SXSW is a space for people who’re inventing the future to actually live it for a few days…\ Yep, that’s it. The rest of his review is just as good.
All use AOL’ers made it home last night, but it took a lot longer than we expected. Instead of one three hour flight on a small plane, it was two flights with a stop in Houston, lost luggage and a cab driver.\ I have so much I want to say, but right now, I just […]
Was awesome, as expected. I took notes, but I’m nor sure how coherent it is.
It’s totally not the same as being here, because the best thing about SXSW is the interaction with people who are just as weird, creative and passionate as you are, but we’ve been taking a lot of notes on the wiki, and I thought I’d share some of my personal favorites: No Absolutes: Social Software […]
