SXSWi 2006: Delayed write up (Update)

Michael — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 01:45:24 +0000

Now it’s more than a month since I had the great opportunity to be part of the great gathering at SXSW Interactive and I still haven’t done the promised write up. The main reason is that it was very overwhelming, especially for someone who was there for the first time. So instead I’ve put together all the panels I attended during the conference. Of course, as many others have stated before, it was a very hard decision to pick which panels to go to. But I still think that I did a decent job.

Of course the write up isn’t put to rest, just put off till I’ll have time to sit down and review all my notes and maybe review the audio and video coverage on the SXSW website to spark my memory.

SXSWi 2006: Delayed write up

Michael — Thu, 30 Mar 2006 20:53:38 +0000

Since I went straight to Alaska after South by Southwest Interactive, I haven’t had enough time to sum up all my great experiences there. On my way back to Germany I’ll have a 9 hour layover in Chicago on Saturday which I’ll use to eventually do my write up of SXSWi.

In the meantime you can check out the pictures I’ve taken in my flickr set SXSWi 2006 or you might be interested in the pictures I’ve taken up here in Alaska, which you can find in my flickr set Alaska 2006.
