I got to spend a dinner, okay half a dinner, well, alright more like a quarter of a dinner talking to Merlin Mann, mostly his android phone, but whatever, I’d wanted to meet him for years. He and John Gruber’s talk was my favorite at SXSWi this year, and getting to spend some time really talking to him in person probably made the trip for me. He’s all over the place and a massive personality that at times is overwhelming, but he’s a great guy and his post pretty much sums up my feelings about SXSWi this year.
For those of you who missed it last year, a few of us are getting together at Katzs Deli for the 2nd annual Polaroid Breakfast. Last year I wasn’t able to make it do to an airport security snafu but this year, unless the weather or security have it out for me again, I plan to be there.
We’ll be talking about all things Polaroid, from the recently announced The Impossible Project to what filters you might be using or where you’ve still been able to find some film. It should be a good times had by all, but mostly it’s just a chance to get together and meet up with other instant film fans.
You don’t need a camera, just an interest and a working alarm clock to get there by 9:00 a.m.
I got to be heavily involved with Blue Flavor in the site/navigation structure for the new SXSW.com, and I’m really stoked with how it came out. Well done Shawn and Hugh with getting it all implemented so quickly. Looking forward to seeing more of our suggestions implemented.

Apparently Greg and company are having a 5 day Xbox tournaments instead. Still great tips for navigating SXSW Interactive.
I guess since I didn’t get to go this will have to do.
