SXSW so far
SXSW so far
03/13/2003 10:22 AMAlthough the crowds seem smaller, or maybe there are just so many
film people around, SXSW is fun this year. My panel went ok today, and
I'm looking forward to relaxing the rest of my time here.
One thing has really been driven home by the availability and
ubiquity of hacking tools: the downside of wireless is (un)security.
I've been saying this since last year's E-Tech conference, but as long
as Apple is pimping their airports and the wonders of wireless they
really should have an "iSecure" app that makes ssh
tunneling painless and easy. A few months ago I spent an entire
saturday afternoon writing scripts to auto-login to my email server
through a tunnel, and that was just email. Secure web browsing is
something else entirely, and the services of things like anonymizer look
attractive as a total package (but they're still a pain in the
ass to setup).
Ideally, it should be entirely transparent, painless, and easy to
setup and use a secure tunnel. Apple could even tie a service into
their iTools accounts. I'd be happy to pay $50 a year for encrypted
email and web traffic (with an easy interface to establish the
connection).

04/09/2004 04:12 PMDue to a family emergency, I've got to cancel out on South by Southwest this
year. I'm really bummed, because the folks at the I2 institute have got a great Wireless program going on in
conjunction with SXSW, and there's a teriffic set of blog and other
social software panels and talks as
well. Joi Ito, our new VP of
International Business will be there, and you can reach him via email:
joi AT technorati.com. He's going to be filling in for me on the Ridiculously Easy Group Forming talk on Monday
afternoon as well.

03/19/2005 02:35 AMMy American adventure is ongoing; I'm still in Austin at
the moment, but I'll be off to Washington D.C. in a few days and
there's a small chance I'll get there via Dallas. This doesn't leave
much opportunity for online shenanigans, but there were a few things
from SxSW that really needed a mention. The conference, as ever, was
awesome - if not for the panels then certainly for the socialising. If
anything I stretched myself too thin this year trying to keep up with
the Brit Pack, the WaSP crew, some ex-colleagues from Lawrence and the
people I met in San Francisco back in May.
I met a lot of new people this year as well. Since David
Nunez had pointed out
that "what do you do?" was a bit of a dull opening question (not to
mention a conversation killer for people who dislike their job) I
stuck with "So what are you excited about?" instead. It worked pretty
well - I got a whole bunch of great answers, with the most random
probably coming from the guy who was excited about mopeds (it turned
out he runs the
world's number one moped site).
The most entertaining panel by far was the Home Star Runner one, in
which the Brothers Chaps finally revealed the secret to their
animation success: motion capture! I'll have to post a few pictures
once I get back on a high speed 'net connection; suffice to say the
constant laughter from the room was heard throughout the convention
center.
Anyway, on to the quotes. The first two are from Jacob Kaplan-Moss:
PHP is like a beautiful woman... with syphilis
Maintaining badly written code is like trying to solve
a crossword puzzle set by someone who can't spell
I also like this one from Jeremy Dunck, who was justifying sharing
your ideas with people at the conference despite the risk of other
people implementing them first:
It's like the lazyweb in meatspace
The credit for the last one goes (I think) to Yvonne Adams, who made the sage
observation that:
South by South West is spring break for web
geeks
It certainly is. See you all again next year!

02/07/2005 01:07 AM Events move so fast, my head spins: a few days after covering the
flurry of activity around the New Millennium Research Council's report
discouraging municipal broadband, I was asked to moderate a panel on
the discussion on March 14 during the South by Southwest (SXSW) music,
arts, and interactive festival and conference in Austin, Texas. Esme
Vos is also on the panel, from MuniWireless.com, and we should have a
rip, and might I add, roaring time. The interactive part of the event
runs March 11 to 15; the overall event is from March 11 to 20....

SXSW: Blogging for Business
01/02/2004 10:48 AMBeing a homebody, I rarely attend conferences. But this year's SXSW Interactive Festival
is enough to get me out of the house. With panels by
well-known web luminaries such as Jeffrey Zeldman, Eric Meyer and
Douglas Bowman, SXSW promises to be a very informative event.
Oh, and I'm also going because I'll be among the panelists on the
"Blogging for Business" session :) I think the last
time I appeared in front a large crowd was when I was born, and I'm
hoping this will be slightly less traumatic for me.

SXSW 2005 adventures
SXSW 2005 adventures
03/19/2005 02:37 AMI'm on the plane back to NYC from what was my fifth SXSW. I hadn't been for a
couple of years and it was good (and a little weird) to be back. Some
thoughts, in rough chronological order:
Best panels I attended: tie between Jason Fried's
How to Make Big Things Happen with Small Teams and Malcolm
Gladwell's keynote. Having read Blink and seen him speak on it twice before, there was nothing
much new in Malcolm's talk, but he's a fantastic speaker...knows his
shit cold, didn't utter a single "um" or "like", could make the phone
book seem interesting, but doesn't have to caper about the stage to be
compelling.
Everyone was nice. Well, there was that one guy who was an asshole,
but I think everyone pretty much ignored him. But everyone else, so
nice to get to meet you or see you again.
Overheard in the hallway: "no woman who knows that much about CSS
should be that good looking", "here's how I met Marc Canter for the
first time: I'm standing outside at a conference, he comes up beside
me and farts", "I have no idea who you are", "surf the glue", "no one
will get naked in the hot tub with me", and "Ima
gine Malcolm Gladwell...with breasts. That's how busy it will
be."
My two panels sandwiched the keynote conversation between Bruce
Sterling and Alex Steffen, so I was only able to catch about 20
minutes of it. But that was long enough to hear Bruce talking about
smoking his shoes. LOL for reals.
BBQ! BBQ! In what could be a record for a bunch of
folks who can't pay attention to any particular thing for more than 10
minutes at a time, fifteen of us waited an hour and a half for a table
at Stubb's (cool menu
pictured at right). I can't speak for the rest, but my beef brisket
was worth the wait. As a bonus, Kathryn accidentally walked away with
the primary object of our obsession during our 90 minute wait, the
buzzing/blinking table-readiness notification coaster. I'm sure said
coaster will be a treasured guest at many SXSWs to come.
Bruce Sterling's not-house party didn't really get crackin' until
the geeks descended on the Zoob toys. The
photo evidence
pretty much speaks for itself here.
Ben Brown, because he asked
me to. Many, many times. Ben, I expect you to comply with the terms of
the restraining order from this point forward.
And finally, I'm at the airport ready to leave just after getting
through security and I hear, "your attention please, Jason Kottke to
security check 3 for a lost item pickup". Bag, check; rollie, check;
coat, check; phone and wallet, safely stowed in the zipper pocket of
my bag. What the heck could they have found and how on earth do they
know it's mine? I zipped over the security check point and was waved
over by a friendly/stern police officer. "You Jason?" "Yep." He holds
up my wallet, which I swear on a stack of The Origin of Species was in
my bag. "Holy crap," I said. "And that's not the worst part," he says
with the most serious look I've ever seen on anyone's face.
Uh oh, I feel a full body cavity search coming on.
He pulls out my social security card and lectures me for two
minutes on how I shouldn't be carrying it because it's all someone
needs to steal my identity. Relieved that I'm not about to be hauled
into a tiny windowless room for interrogation, I'm sort of chuckling
at this point, which he takes to mean I don't believe him about the SS
card. "Do you see me looking you right in the eye, son? That's how
serious I am about this." Mr. Sir, as soon as I'm home, I'm taking my
SS card out of my wallet and putting it in the safest place I
can...right after I change into some clean underwear.

Austin Project Featured at SXSW
03/06/2004 01:49 AMThe Austin Chronicle takes a look at the Austin Wireless City
Project's initiatives around the SXSW music festival, which happens
next weekend: The project is offering free iTunes music to users of
the free hotspots set up by the project. In addition, the IC2
Institute, a research unit of the University of Texas, is making a
presentation during an Interactive Conference going on in conjunction
with the festival. The institute will talk about how everyday people
can benefit from connectivity. Howard Rheingold, who wrote Smart Mobs:
The Next Social Revolution, will also speak at the conference. Other
coverage of the Austin Wireless City Project's efforts include a story
written by its co-founder, Rich MacKinnon. He offers a really great
description of all the parties that benefit when a venue offers free
hotspots. He gives the example of a free hotspot at an Austin
restaurant and describes how a consultancy made money to install the
router, a printing company was paid to make new coasters touting the
free Wi-Fi, MacKinnon's company Less Networks pays a hosting facility
to support the hotspot and a PR firm is paid to promote the free
hotspots. He notes that even the big companies make money here,
including Kinko's which printed a new sign, CompUSA which sold the
access point, which was made by Buffalo, and SBC which provides the
DSL connection. The list actually goes on, offering a strong argument
for the business case behind free hotspots. [both links via Less

03/13/2003 10:25 AM I session-hopped; too many interesting sessions this morning. Cliff
Figallo talks about "Putting conversation to work." He's one of the
founders of The Well and lived on The Farm, a well-known hippy
commune, for years; Stewart Brand, the creator of The Well, wanted
people with communal experience running it, not businesspeople.
"Attention is energy," he says: the person being attended to gets
energy from it, including people who are being jerks. Conversations
that work, he says, are different than ones where people connect for
enjoyment. He's thinking of conversations as something that
organizations do to get their jobs done....

The entetainment industry's role is to seek legislation that will
close down those opportunities. From piano rolls to TV to Napster,
