I once heard someone call South by Southwest “spring break for geeks.” Well, there’s nothing like empirical evidence, so I tagged along with the Lulu.com community team to investigate South by Southwest (SXSW) for myself.

So why not make 99-cent 128-bit AAC tracks DRM free as well? We don’t think there’s an easy answer, but perhaps this is a move more tentative than people realize; this whole uncrippled music thing might just be an experiment.

It might be an experiment, but it might also be a question of design.

Myself and Triangle UPA are proud to announce that planning has begun for DCampSouth 2007, an unconference for anyone interested in design and user experience.

In May 2006 I was lucky enough to attend DCamp at the SocialText headquaters in Palo Alto, CA. Masterminded by Rashmi Sinha and Stacie Hibino, DCamp brought together over 150 people […]
