ObPanelPickerPlea

It’s that time of year again, and for the first time, I have some skin in the game. The SxSW Panel Picker is live, and I’m whoring myself to you, my loyal blog audience, to help boost the interesting content at SxSW over the meaninglessly-businesswank seo-driven-engagement-virality-crowdsourcing new-media-douchebag bullshit.

Voting takes two minutes. Register, click on the link in your email, then vote away.

First of all, my proposed panel:

If you only upvote one panel, I implore you to make it this. Inspired-by and spiraling-off-wildly-from my Ignite talk in March, this will offer tips to engineers working with designers, designers working with engineers, and anyone else working with either.

Proposals by friends/by folks who owe me money/which I want to wangle my way onto being on:

Proposals to which I have no connection, beyond thinking they sound amazing:

“Things Our Friends Sent Us For Printing”

“Things Our Friends Sent Us For Printing”

A 12-page newspaper by Newspaper Club (http://www.newspaperclub.co.uk/)

It was collated over the last few days, features essays by folks like Clay Shirky, Bobbie Johnson and Warren Ellis, as well as visualizations and photos created this weekend.

They printed 1000 this morning on the Austin Statesman Chronicle presses, and distributed them at the Maps, Books, Spimes, Paper panel.

I grabbed a few extra copies, so if any bay area folks want one, let me know.

The Morning News - South by South-BEST!

If like me you’re not at SXSW, here’s what you’re missing. “Or hear a lively discussion about the rise of the “blogebrity,” moderated by a man named Kyle Bunch, the very person who coined the word “blogebrity” and then convinced the rest of us that blogebrity is actually a real thing rather than an excuse for Kyle to receive more links and get invited to blogger meet-ups.”
