At SXSW
I'm at SXSW (South By South West) in Austin, Texas. It's a major social and business gathering for the technology community, as well as a leading indie film and music festival. So far I've counted at least 2 billionaires in the assembled gathering, and it would be easy just to focus on the big names, but SXSW has a definite indy feel, and it's the cool kids doing interesting stuff that really rule the roost here..
So far I've recorded material on life after the mouse with the people behind Guitar Hero, and Microsoft Surface and looking foward to a session lead by the folks who run The Onion's hit podcast. And plenty of serious stuff too, currently a very interesting presentation from about preventing radicalization and presenting a non-stereotyped image of Islam online
