Austin calling

Not sure if it is the winter weather that gets to me or what, but even when I say I am going to travel less this year I can’t avoid the gravitational pull of South by Southwest.

This year I’m not a panelist or a panel organizer — and that’s just fine by me. More time to wade through the ever-growing lineup of panels. (Note to infoviz geeks: some kind of topic-based link-node visualization of the panels would be mighty helpful for charting a path through it all.)

Looking forward to hanging out with old friends and those of you I only ever see at this conference.

For the morbidly curious, this year I think I’m skipping the Nuclear Tacos. As you know, those bad boys did unspeakable things to my insides. Perhaps this year the tale can be told.

See you in Austin!
