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

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.

Dave Shea was kind enough to take notes during CSS: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, the SXSW panel in which I participated. Thanks!

For those of you familiar with my previous attempts at having a blog on my site, you’ll recall that those blogs failed miserably. For those not familiar with my previous attempts, I generally posted for one or two days and then never returned. So why would I be trying this again?
I’ve just returned from SXSW Interactive. There I was introduced to many Web luminaries and we discussed various ideas about the Web, Web standards, and other topics. I realized that much of this chit chat continues after SXSW not through e-mail or message boards, but via blogs. However, it wasn’t until Kevin argued for the value of blogs that I began to see the need for me to have one again. So, here I go!
I’ll need everyone’s help in trying to maintain my interest, until I’m really in the swing of using this thing. So if you see that I haven’t published anything lately, please send me an e-mail and harrass me. Or, if you have any ideas to help me out (or just feedback in general), e-mail me or leave a comment. Thanks for your support.
