packing
I have way too much cr@p coming home than I did going out.? I think I understand why the post office has a booth at SXSW.? Unless I can be clever, then I may be visiting it myself. the bulk of it at this point is all the wrong clothes that I brought…which didn’t seem [...]

postprocessing
I have a lot of mental work to do in order to turn the last week of my life into some sort of semi-coherent narrative.? some of it will go here, some will decidedly not.? (it’s not that it’s none of your business, but it’s none of the internets’ business.) for now I’m back at [...]

bruce sterling talk
still processing the experience of the last panel. this is in the same room as next-gen web apps, now I owe George Kelly a beer for his forethought in bringing a powerstrip. the party doesn’t scale. ? no, you are too big, too professional. he’s in a dark, introspective, literary mood this year.? just had [...]

open source management
was originally going to be called “vulnerability” — but trying to ease people/corps into honest. charlise theron is in the building?! want to run it like a talk show. heather gold as host. big frustration: trying to be herself or not being herself at work. not go into “drag” at 9am. (indeed!) david callisch, ruckus [...]

next-gen web apps
a little drowsy, a little chilly. Bruce Sterling is a few chairs down from me, but I’m about used up of my store of fangirl moxie, so I just took his picture from a distance. I’m mostly in this session to hear from the ginormous Veen about the uncannily addictive Measure Map. Ev, Mena, Veen, [...]

convincing your co to support standards
came in late, or they started early. lawver had good stuff about building a standards support team. I wish Deirdre was still around. fun, management liasion. should talk to Dale about this, to start something on a statewide basis, maybe in connection with WaSP etf? netscape/aol guy feels lots of empathy for the opera guys. [...]

best mocha of my life
I’m finishing up a gorgeous smooth creamy chocolatey iced mocha at the same coffeeshop I went to Thursday morning.? the adorably disheveled English (?) barista brewed the shot directly into the plastic cup with the chocolate syrup.? milk & ice went into a cocktail shaker separately and then poured over the top, stirred together.? even [...]

the moon is full and so am I
tonight I feel awake.? today was, overall, a very good day, enough to redeem yesterday’s exhaustion and frustration and then some. I even got back to my hotel to the Breakfast Club (already in progress, as they say), which I haven’t seen in years and just loved in high school. the sessions today were engaging, [...]
WaSP annual meeting
Molly calls everybody up front, I shout that we have power, and zeldman’s voice is very ragnarok-like on the mike. zeldman! started selfishly, no particular understanding of the real benefits of standards. were rebellious 14-year-olds because they had no hope. so to speak. funny story about being anonymous. WaSP: “oh, Glen’s thing.” but now there’s [...]

WaSP panel
A really good lunch with Ralph. The kind of excellent friend conversation one would hope for, and which is too nice to be blogged. (the Taco Shack is tasty & cheep) Kimberley Blessing, is she the ETF person? I think Molly is rad. Drew on the history on the WaSP, browsers supporting standards. must be [...]
