Thanks for typing up these reports. Nice to read about someone who didn’t just follow Leo and Robert around and go to parties. Sounds like their were some very worthwhile sessions. I mean to go the SXSWi every year, and every year something comes up. I guess I just need to make a reservation for the hotel and force myself to go. If you get any invites for the Glass service I would love to try it out.
Sure. I’m glad you found it interesting. I do plan to go again…but I’m thinking every 2-3 years. I figure by 2012 there will be enough new tech, that it will warrant the $$$ to go.
I’ll keep you in mind if I get an invite for Glass.
