18 years.
I’ve been coming to Austin, and South by Southwest, for almost longer than I haven’t been coming. Which is something that happens to me more and more. For someone who doesn’t finish much, I’ve certainly got quite a bit of unfinished history happening.
I am simply in love with this city, this event and the [...]
I’ll arrive at my 18th South by Southwest later today. I can barely remember what that first experience was like. I certainly didn’t imagine it to be a life-changing one. And yet, I owe much of what I do today to my experiences there.
I’ll be blogging this year’s experience at The Cult of Me, [...]
Big ups to my friends at Boing Boing (Xeni, David, Cory and Mark) for this:
Here’s the map of places I regularly hang during the South by Southwest Interactive and Music conferences. I’m not a big party-goer. Mostly I hang outside, dragging attendees away from the hustle and bustle.
Let me know if you have a cool place you like to hang.

**Greetings Gawkers who found me through this piece or this piece. Remember to tip your waiters and waitresses. And the 1030 show is always different than that the 8.**
I have buried the lede in this piece so I hope you’ll hang with me while I indulge in a little storytelling about why I’m a little [...]
The restrictive nature of Apple keeps me from ever purchasing one of their products, so I’m quite happy to have Google enter the marketplace. And this video…OH, the Spoof-manity.
Part of my research at the university (and what The Cult of Me is all about) is the merging of technology and storytelling.
I’m now writing a regular blog for the AEJMC (no need to worry about what that is, just go read my piece here) and I’ll be doing a video companion piece to that [...]
A few months back, ETC head Drew Davidson and I were talking about possibilities for his ETC Press. We’ve known each other informally over the years through listservs and such, but we hadn’t yet done that “in person” thing.
He asked if I’d come talk about The Cult of Me: How Social Technologies Will Save the [...]
On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy asked Congress to commit several billion dollars in funds so that America could lead the rest of the world to the moon.
On September 12, 1962, Kennedy visited Rice University, in Houston, to outline the effort (these remarks follow).
The video is an art project celebrating the achievement of [...]
