★ SXSWi: Tales of the Past Future
We have little more than a week before the masses descend on Austin for SXSW. If you'll be attending SXSWi, you should come to my core conversation, "Tales of the Past Future." It's going to be less formal than a panel, no stage, no AV equipment nor power point deck. We'll all be sitting around, discussing our earliest experience on the internet and where it is we saw the internet going versus where it went. It's basically a good excuse to reminisce about the old 'net days.
The very nice folks at SXSW suggested I include the phrase "web pioneers" in the title of my talk. While there will be a couple of old school bloggers in attendance , I think we can all consider ourselves to be "web pioneers" in some sense. Everyone (with a badge) is welcome to come and share their experiences and lessons learned.
Some things to think about before coming:
- How did the internet come to your house?
- How old were you when you first logged on?
- How did your online life affect your offline life?
- How does the internet of today compare to your ideas of the internet back then?
Speaking of old school, after the core conversation we will be attending the Old Timers Ball at the Side Bar, hosted by Matt Haughey.
