SXSW Day 1 recap
So The first actual day of SXSW comes to a close and it’s off to a good start. I’m with my colleague Evan Lask. I went to the following presentations/panels.
Minority Report is Real
This was more of an idea panel than anything on the potential future of multi touch interfaces. Most of the information covered in this one is posted on their blog set up specifically for that purpose, that’s here. http://www.immersiveux.com/
Oooh, That’s Clever! (Unnatural Experiments in Web Design)
Paul Annett from Clearleft had an excellent presentation on some of the craziest places a designer/developer could draw inspiration from. I’ll post a link dump later today with some of the examples he had showed.
Social Engineering: Scam Your Way Into Anything or From Anybody
Not at all relevant to my professional career. It didn’t matter, this was pretty rad in all. I’ve watched a few episodes of Scam School on Revision3 before, so I had an idea of what Brian Brushwood was going to cover. He did a high level rundown of different ways to have influence over people with out them realizing it, as well as a few tips on how to identify and try to circumvent a con. Overall, I I loved this presentation, Brushwood is an excellent presenter.
For day 1,it was 3 for 3 of cool presentations, off to a great start.
I’m doing realtime updates on twitter, under the username flipnode, and recaps as soon as I can get them online.
