Halloween?

I dedicate this post to those who dressed up for SXSW. I have a few photos here and I’ve seen many more on Instagram. Whether cosplayers at screenburn or strange pieces of giant blue bread, playing dress-up is fun for all ages.

The One That Made Me Cry

Kudos to Frank Read More...

I’d Tap That!

One of the undeniable hot topics at SXSW Interactive this year is the mobile wallet.  No wallet, no problem…courtesy of NFC (near-field communication) technology.  Until SXSW I’ve had a singular view of how NFC actually works, not from a technology perspective, but from the value it gives consumers beyond the purely transactional aspect of the quick and Read More...

A Conversation with Seth MacFarlane, Creator of Family Guy

I know I’m only on Day 4, but this will probably have been the highlight of my SXSW experience.  Not just because I love the character Peter Griffin, but because Seth is the guy who’s done everything he’s done with integrity and a willingness to stay flexible.  A bit of history – Family Guy – Read More...

Seth MacFarlane & Mark Wahlberg, Do I Need To Say Anything Else To Get You To Read This?

Another great day at SXSW, I can’t believe it’s almost over already. The highlight of my day today was “A Conversation With Seth MacFarlane.” The discussion touched on MacFarlane’s TV career, his recently released debut album as well as upcoming projects.

New Framework For Interactive Design

Each year, designers and developers get a peak at sxsw of all the latest technologies, coding languages, platforms and methodologies for interactive work which is fantastic. However, on the first day (Friday), I found myself attending two design panels back-to-back that reshaped my personal framework for approaching interactive design problems altogether.
