Getting the Most Out of SxSW Interactive

In Thoughts and Rants on 13 March 2009 tagged austin, sxsw, sxswi, texas with 2 comments

I lived in Austin, Texas from 1999-2003 and have attended SxSW Interactive every year since 2004. Each year, I attended SxSW each year with a different role: 2004: Tom Chi and I were nominated for the Web Awards for our design webcomic, OK/Cancel (we won but that was just gravy) 2005: Also on behalf of [...]

Min Jung convinced me to partake in her upcoming Lap-Pop event. It’s supposed to be a convergence of Asian Americans and geekery, hosted by Locus Arts. The idea is to get some Asian American bloggers/photologgers to share their writing, art, photography and/or music. The first one was excellent and featured readings from Ernie, Glenda and [...]

You’ve seen conference badges at conferences and nametags at big parties. At the recent Adaptive Path party, I “tagged” myself. Ha. Ha. I’m so clever, right? I mean gee, Kevin, you’re such an original character. Well let’s see what happened. I put: Kevin OK/Cancel Yahoo Comics Canada Skiing and then ran out of space. During [...]

Conference Virgins and Conference Friends

In Thoughts and Rants on 6 March 2006 tagged conference, okcancel, sxsw, sxsw2006, sxswi, ted, ted2006 with 5 comments

At TED, they had a term called “TED virgin”. I can understand why they say that – it really is one of those experiences where you have to have been there to understand what it’s about. Some aspects are not unique to TED, however and the concept of a conference virgin is one of them. [...]

The month of March is looking to be slightly extremely insane. I was happy to help get some of our work at Yahoo! accepted into the IA Summit – we’re presenting a 45min session on Communicating Concepts through Comics and doing a full day workshop where we teach people to use the technique. There’s also [...]

The Double Handshake

In Uncategorized on 22 March 2005 tagged conference, sxsw, sxsw2005, sxswi with 1 comment

An observation after sxsw: when you shake hands with someone, there are potentially two handshakes. The first is the polite one. Allow me to repeat the conversation from the last post: “Hi, I’m Kevin” “Hi, I’m (so and so). So what’s your blog/website/job?” (handshake) “I work on a webcomic on interaction design called OK/Cancel?” “Oh [...]
