Opening Remarks at SXSW

Will the last blogger out please turn off the lights? - opening comments by Jeffrey Zeldman. Mostly a series of anecdotes about his SXSW experiences, with other light fare thrown in. Below are some more quotable quotations:

  • In client work, if you tell the client what they already know, they think you’re really smart.
  • For a long time I thought I didn’t know what I was doing, that I didn’t have a career.
  • Even if you’re an angry person with a chip on your shoulder, you’ll probably have a good time.
  • Web Standards (Guilt): People coming up to him saying, “Hi Jeffrey, I’m sorry, my site doesn’t validate.”
  • Dreams really do come true: Matt Mullenweg
  • SXSW - it’s not like any other conference

SxSW, Here I Come!

Well, it’s that time of year again. And despite being unemployed, I’ve managed to get myself to SxSW in Austin. Can’t wait to see everyone that I met last year, and to meet some new peeps.
