SXSW: Everything Else

And there I was, preoccupied with spending less time working on the computer and spending more time interactiving, watching films and catching some great performances.

The highlight for me was the BBC 2 Showcase @ The Austin Music Hall with full sets from Morrissey and Goldfrapp both of whom are still delivering sexy performances in the, shall we say, later years of their careers. Although Morrissey ripped his shirt off no less than 4 times, unfortunately the same could not be said of Alison Goldfrapp.

The whole week, in addition to some knowledge and culture was a much needed break from the Chicago grind. I am please to report that I have returned to Chicago recharged and refreshed, free from stress. I only have my wonderful host(s) to thank for that.

I do believe the best part of the week was time spent with good friends.

I was just listening to Goldfrapp - Ride A White Horse

SXSW: Design Eye for the List Guy

In the spirit of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, this SXSW Interactive panel did a presentation on a “what-if” redesign for Craigslist. Really informative and good ideas for lists and information design - they have posted the redesign and panel presentation:
