Texas Never Told Her
The Texas Never Told Her project is finished, but it has only begun! Thanks to all of the wonderful ladies for coming out with their strength for a good cause–I love you.
Now I can leave Texas with a free conscience.
The tyrant is dead
After following tweets about it from the Online Journalism Symposium last weekend and also reading about it on TechCrunch, I blogged about Prezi.com for the Examiner. My fervent hate for the atrocity that is Microsoft Powerpoint also inspired me (a little).
I hope every administrator in the world sees this. I might uninstall Powerpoint with the [...]
Here and there
Wrote a really crappy blog for the Examiner yesterday. Justification: I had written a long piece about We Tell Stories, which is a fascinating, innovative site. Then I pressed the “Haha, sucker” button that was cleverly disguised as the “submit” button.

It could happen
If you are in Austin and free tomorrow any time between noon and 3, I’ve got a proposition for you.

ABC News: SXSW Vega Feature
What we’ve all been waiting for…

And a sweet jazzy hip-hop band, -Shad.

Watch it and weep
Sad face
The interview with Ricky Van Veen went well–It’s not up on the SXSW YouTube channel yet but I’ll sure post some U R L when it does.
I have to move to Pittsburgh sooner than expected…Mid-June. I have to take summer school to “ease my transition” into graduate school.

SXSW updates everywherez
Friday of Interactive: good start, but hey Austin, why the weather?
Watched two panels, one blogged: User-generated content: The State of the Union, and Unnatural Experiments in Web Design (check Examiner).
Tomorrow I interview Van Veen.
