God bless Colby Walton for emailing me constant updates on the Duke score...

Why do all panel discussions at all conferences make the least dynamic speakers bat cleanup?...

Memetracker: Practice gets you to Carnegie Hall. Heard it twice today already, and the first I heard it was from Blair last week.

Jambo is hellacool...

Hell is a computer geek conference where no one can get the overhead projector to work...

Only at SXSW: Sitting in the session on mobile phone web, while the panel is talking about how it just ain't there yet, I can't access ESPN on the web because there are too many people using the wireless. So, Colby hits me via the Blackberry:

Subject: 7 ACC Tourney wins in 8 years

Paulus makes 1 of 2, BC desperation 3 from halfcourt hits backboard but doesn't fall. 78-76 final. Whew. Duke should get overall #1 seed in NCAA tourney, #1 in Atlanta region. ESPN Bracketology projects Pitt as #2 in that region.

Enjoy the geek show.

If anyone else tries to define Web 2.0, I'm going postal...

I'm more of a geek than I thought. I'm not hearing much that's over my addlepated little noggin...

Chief benefits of the press pass: Access to the press lounge with free beverages, free chair massages and most importantly-- electrical outlets...

Bag o' swag = underwhelming...

Not going to blog the "Managing Your New Media Startup" session afterall. Nothing new here for anyone who has run so much as a lemonade stand. I left halfway through...

Redefining the Disfranchised: The Political Art of Nina Allender As we continue to celebrate the 88th Anniversary of Women's Right to Vote, there's a prime opportunity to view influential art from the era. Nina Evans Allender drew political cartoons for The Suffragist from 1914 into the 1920s, transforming stereotypical views of who a suffragist was. Over the years, Allender contributed more than 250 political cartoons to the movement, a number of which are on display at the Women's Museum at Fair Park. More info
