SXSW Video Clips

POSTED Thu Mar.13.2008 by Dave Seah UNDER Encounters TAGGED

I have a terrible memory for names and faces, so I tried to take as many short video clips as I could to help me remember. I edited the segments together into a 14-minute video to convey my SXSW experience. Next year I may have to actually bring a real video camera instead; this was [...]

SXSW Wrapup Part I: Back Home and Feeling Wistful

POSTED Wed Mar.12.2008 by Dave Seah UNDER Encounters TAGGED

South By Southwest (SXSW) was, once again, an energizing experience that reminded me that there is a lot of crazy people doing crazy things out there that just might work. It is the best thing, ever.

I’m lying in bed at the hotel, feeling exhausted and more than a little under the weather. It has been, however, been an excellent day.

The default topic of conversation, should anyone show [...]

I don’t have the energy to write a detailed report on the sessions of the day, though I will say that I did attend the “Textbooks of the Future” and “20 Ways to Woo Your Users”. “Textbooks of the future” covered the ongoing efforts made by cnx.org, wikibooks, and the olpc foundation. “20 Ways” marked [...]

Day 2: Rolling Start

POSTED Sat Mar.08.2008 by Dave Seah UNDER Encounters TAGGED

It was a rather good day. I started the day out by eating a meat-laden buffet breakfast so I could go with a light lunch. I ended up skipping it entirely, saving myself some money, but this was made up with a nice dinner at a French restaurant later. I ate a snail! But more [...]

Day 2: Pre-Festival Insights

POSTED Sat Mar.08.2008 by Dave Seah UNDER Personal TAGGED

On the flight, I had taken some notes about “who I am” so I could better figure out how to describe myself, and had a slight shift in perspective: my blog tagline isn’t really accurate. If you go to the home page and look at the title, you’ll see it says David Seah: Design, Productivity, [...]
