		<title>My SXSW Slideshow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The idea here was to include the audio of me speaking along with this so it would make more sense, but I&#8217;m not quite sure how to do that yet. So here are my lame slides. They&#8217;re really basic, but they&#8217;ll give you a rough sense of my presentation at SXSW last week. Use the [...]]]></description>

		<title>SXSW Day the Last</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much too exhausted to blog effectively. Instead here&#8217;s a brief list of things that happened today.

Chatted with Amanda Congdon about Chuck Olsen&#8217;s relative awesomeness.
Commiserated with the director of American: The Bill Hicks Story over SXSW&#8217;s lackluster business center. Seriously? They don&#8217;t take cash for 25 cent printing purchases?
Said some shite to a room full of [...]]]></description>

		<title>SXSW Day Three</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was actually kind of nice and relaxing. I was up early enough to catch the first sessions (at the crack of eleven). I went to the What is Open Video panel and halfway through, I realized that I was missing the Clay Shirky talk that was happening simultaneously. Shirky is one of the interactive [...]]]></description>

		<title>SXSW day two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long day today. I slept in (wow, I needed it) and then got lunch with Andy and Todd at the Iron Works BBQ place. I attended a film panel on &#8220;cause-driven&#8221; filmmaking that was pretty good. Then I saw Ze Frank&#8217;s talk, which was awesome in its Ze Frankness. A beer in the park followed [...]]]></description>

		<title>First (long) Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, it&#8217;s after 2:30 AM so this is gonna be brief.
Tim Blake Nelson and I made eye contact at JFK this morning. He was on my flight to Austin. I passed his row on my way to the lavatory and noticed he was watching a 1970s Roy Scheider movie on his laptop that may or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pre-SXSW linkdump</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m clearing some tabs before the trip&#8230;

This &#8220;Academy Award-Winning Trailer&#8221; borrows a bit from Soderbergh&#8217;s Schitzopolis, but in a good way.
What you should &#8220;realistically&#8221; do if you find yourself the last person on Earth.
Best. Cuckoo. Clock. Ever.
An exhaustive hand-written list of Types of Bitches.
Flameape recently reminded me of the genius that was Shooby Taylor.

		<title>Planning for South-By</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m heading out for SXSW first thing tomorrow morning. This is the fourth time I&#8217;ve attended the film and interactive festival and conference and it&#8217;s always a logistical nightmare figuring out what panels and sessions I want to get to and what films I want to see, but this year is especially complicated and exciting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear Councilor Keogh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a constituent in Ward 5. I live in Ledgewood Condominiums on Austin Drive. I should also point out that I just voted for your re-election on Tuesday. I&#8217;m writing to express my strong support for the option of turning over the reins of Burlington Telecom to Tim Nulty and the &#8220;Group of 9&#8243; so [...]]]></description>

		<title>What the Internet is for</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chatroulette. I haven&#8217;t tried it, but I love that it exists. Here&#8217;s a great little documentary about it&#8230;

And here&#8217;s a ridiculously awesome hack of the idea. I wish I&#8217;d thought of this.
