  • South by SouthWest Interactive: Take 3

    It’s Wednesday night. Well, no. It’s Thursday morning 4:30am in my head & body. But it’s Wednesday night in Austin, Texas. I’m at South by SouthWest Interactive for the third year running, having arrived, via far too many security gates…

  • South by Southwest 2009: Surviving a Week of Geekery

    I landed back in the UK two days ago, and I can already feel the most vivid memories of the week slipping away. Before any more memories disappear, better put pen to paper (figuratively, you know I rarely use paper)…

    These aren’t the tidiest notes, and I even failed on jotting down exactly who was speaking but there are a few useful points in there… Thanks to Lionel for the insight on how Dell dealt with feedback in the early…

  • SXSWi 2008: "Creative Collaboration: Designers and Developers working together"

    I wasn’t so hot on this panel, found there was a lot of navel-gazing and not enough direction. Also, I don’t know what world these guys live in but do they not also have to contend with marketing, business dev,…

  • SXSWi 2008: "Self-Replicating Awesomeness: The Marketing of No Marketing" panel notes

    For this panel, I ditched the laptop and only used pen and paper so my notes are less than clear. In fact, I’m lucky if I can read my own handwriting, but the highlights for me were finally meeting the…

  • SXSWi 2008: "What teens want online and on their phones" panel notes

    The notes from this panel are pretty thorough – it was one of the first panels I attended and I was pretty enthusiastic with the typing. Interesting findings, but the main takeaway for me is that these kids are clever…
