Future Compliant March 13, 2008
Latest future compliant post up on allvoices.com...
The last couple weeks have been a busy time for the future, or at least for people talking about it. Two big conferences took place, South By Southwest Interactive and the Emerging Tech Conference. I was at neither of them. But one of the many joys of all this emerging interactive tech is that, except for the parties and the people, you can learn almost as much as a real attendee just from what's posted online by the people who're actually on the scene. Full disclosure: I would have happily attended either event, but my travel schedule already overfloweth with hacker cons and anarchist book fairs, so anything disparaging I might write or say about people who did attend is purely out of jealousy.
There was so much going on at SXSW: Interactive that I haven't really wrapped my head around it yet, but to be honest ETech seems more my cup of tea anyway. Maybe that's just because it had a few people I've actually met or interacted with speaking there, but also it's a little more academic/philosophizing based and less about the business stuff. Plus Valleywag hardly paid any attention to it by comparison, so that's a point in its favor for me. For purposes of being future compliant then, I'm going to skip over Austin and head to virtual San Diego to pick out some highlights.
