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
