Help Us Speak at SXSW

It seems like a long way off, but South-by-Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) is just around the corner (March 2009).  At the moment, the public is voting on what speaking panels should be accepted for the event.  When the voting finishes (August 29, 2008) the SXSW staff will consider the results of the voting when deciding what panels will be picked.

I say all this because I hope you'll vote for our panel. :) Here are the details:

Shift Happens: Moving from Words to Pictures

Northern Voice, SXSW - Will You Be There?

Updated: I've created a schedule of sessions and parties I plan to attend at SXSWi (maybe Sachi too!).  You can see the schedule here.

I suppose it's the time of year for directionally-based conferences. 

I'm heading up to Northern Voice in Vancouver this weekend and Sachi and I both will be heading south to Austin, Texas for SXSW Interactive starting March 7th.  I hope we'll be able to meet you at one of these conferences. 

Critiques of My Speaking

Speaking is hard, but I'm learning. Last night I ended a run of speaking that spanned 4 events, 2 different talks and wide variety of audiences over a couple of weeks. It's been a great chance to try out some of the things I've learned from the speaking coach and discover a lot of things that still need work.
