SXSW Bingo
Image by lhall
This is my completed SXSW Bingo card, brought to you by the very kind and generous folks at Harvest, the time-tracker of kings!
Completing the card won me a Kindle 2, something I have always coveted but would never have bought for myself, even though I read a lot, so it was more than worth the effort it took to get these photos!
Follow @harvest on Twitter, and its makers @bjhess, @dannyw and @EvilPRGuy.

Know-it-all
The Fail Whale (not on a computer): a man from Keen footwear (http://www.keenfootwear.com/) standing outside of the Convention Center twitpic.com/28wyl
Hash Tag Hand Signs: My fellas @jeyb and @guyp oblige twitpic.com/22lqh
Someone wearing this t-shirt: The Harvest guys promised they'd hook me up with a shirt photo if I got all the other squares, so this was the last photo I took. Thanks @EvilPRGuy, @bjhess and @dannyw! twitpic.com/25us8
BJ Novak making people laugh: Mr. Novak had a panel with some other hilarious comedy writers. He's the blurry one in the middle, wearing a hat! twitpic.com/23x79
Someone wearing a Snuggie: Surprisingly, especially considering how cold it was at the start of the conference, no geeks at SXSW seemed to have a Snuggie with them...not even for the purpose of ironic humor (though supposedly someone spotted one out on Sixth Street). So, we bought one. I was happy to have the excuse. twitpic.com/250rh
Food!
A food blogger eating food: @GoGameMei is great - she blogs about food at eatfamilystyles.com AND her job involves running around in costumes giving people random gifts and inventing secret handshakes! twitpic.com/23x4s
Tacos: D at Iron Cactus, eating soft tacos twitpic.com/22y79
Free cupcakes: Ice cream and cupcakes on their way into the burlesque show Pasties and Pastries at Emo's. It turns out the girl on the left is @Silona, whose panel I attended the last day of the conference! twitpic.com/22y8s
A pie chart in a presentation: Scott Belsky from Behance talks about "Making Ideas Happen" - great panel, lots of very useful tips and interesting research. twitpic.com/23x1u
Double fisting: D with two alcoholic beverages twitpic.com/22y6o
Just for fun
People playing Rock Band: Lots of gaming going on at Screenburn twitpic.com/22klw
Techy mom: A mum in the Lego pit in the Conference Center with her son, she was very nice and let me snap this pic! twitpic.com/23x32
FREE SPACE
Geek girl: Oh...that's me. twitpic.com/22l2e
Pair programming: @jeyb and @guyp with some handy PHP script on a netbook. twitpic.com/22lv4
Celebrities
Someone who is internet almost famous: @guyp won a game show in the UK called "In It To Win It" and got 20k pounds! He was also a star employee during the ARG Perplex City with a very clever video series and he does lots of stuff online to this day. It's only a matter of time. twitpic.com/22ko5
Gary Vaynerchuk with a glass of wine: I hovered at the front of the ballroom before @garyvee's panel just so I could ask him to pose with an imaginary glass of wine. Thank you, @garyvee! twitpic.com/2514y
Guy Kawasaki Twittering: I tracked down the secret AllTop party for the net elite (held at Allen's Boots) and luckily they had extra invites, so I was able to snap a pic with @guykawasaki! Thank you!! twitpic.com/2510x
A famous actress: We spotted @feliciaday a few times during the conference, but never got a chance to speak to her (once she was walking intently down the street, and once I was going up an escalator while she was going down, though I squeaked out a quick 'hi'). She was really happy to help with the bingo squares, and offered to be the 'geek girl' as she hadn't brought her Kindle 2. I'm glad she was so nice and friendly, because I like her work as much as I admire her true understanding of the workings of the internet and its culture. twitpic.com/23x89
Scobleizer: I was running up to the Trade Show because someone had spotted a Kindle up there, and I saw Robert Scoble (@scobleizer) crossing the street outside, so I hauled butt to catch up with him. He was very nice and posed with me and very politely didn't mention anything about 'the crazy girl charging down the street toward me with a camera.' twitpic.com/250w7
Gadgets
Something built with an Arduino: Spotted at DorkBot, this is a series of lights used to control one of the bleepy things twitpic.com/23x9l
Old school arcade cabinet: In Champion's across from the convention center twitpic.com/23wx7
Someone using Kindle 2: Found at the Blurb booth (thanks @AndruEdwards!) twitpic.com/250y6
Cowboy hat: @micahsaul wore this cowboy hat all through Interactive! I was lucky to see him on Sixth Street early on in the week. twitpic.com/22y82
Someone using a Zune: This space is particularly evil as NO ONE at Interactive has a Zune. We had to go to a Best Buy to find one. twitpic.com/250q3
Best Meals of 2008
Image by Renée S. Suen
It's the end of the year and OAD (aka Steve) posted this cool little piece that features the best meals of 2008 (and restaurants with potential) from a questionnaire sent out to some pretty well known chefs (at least ones that have made the 2007 OAD guide), food critics, notable food bloggers/destination diners, food scientists like Dr. This, and then... little ol' food enthusiast me. (humble *blush, blush*)
Granted my meal at Ristorante dal Pescatore was in the latter part of last year, it's impact still struck me until now (truth be told I was asked what my best meal was in the past year - which I interpreted as being full year, not just calender). Anyway, the mention of many Northern Europe (and a few American and Asian) restaurants has me mentally noting these establishments in the event I might have the fortune of visiting those areas. This is part one of two. :)
"Best Meals of 2008
‘Tis the time of year for lists. After racking my brain to try and figure out what type of list people might like to read, I came up with the following idea. I sent out an email to an an assortment of chefs, food writers, restaurant owners and bloggers and I asked them the following questions:
1. Name the best meal that you had in 2008
2. Name the new chef or restaurant who showed the most potential in 2008
Their answers were quite illuminating. Or at least I thought they were. What I learned was that fine dining in Northern Europe is steadily improving and both chefs and diners are now traveling to countries like Germany, Austria, Holland and Denmark just to sample the restaurants. And Tokyo, because of the new Michelin Guide, is another city that is starting to become popular with Western diners. Let’s see if the same dynamic occurs in Hong Kong and Macau now that Michelin has published a guide to those cities as well. But I think the most important thing I learned is that there isn’t all that much difference between what the pros like and what the foodies like, and as you run down the list, you will see that they each cite many of the same places. Anyway enough of me talking about what they told me, you can read it for yourself. Enjoy!
