SXSW 2006

This evening, I got home from SXSW in Austin. While I didn't confblog the event like I have in past years, I did make a number of Squidoo lenses about the major sessions I sat in on. Here they are:

• South by Southwest Interactive
  
• SXSW 2006: Beyond Folksonomies
  
• SXSW 2006: Blog Conversations
  
• SXSW 2006: Book Digitization
  
• SXSW 2006: Cluetrain Revisited
  
• SXSW 2006: Craig Newmark
  
• SXSW 2006: Cyberplace
  
• SXSW 2006: Everyware
  
• SXSW 2006: Henry Rollins
  
• SXSW 2006: Jim Coudal and Jason Fried
  

I still need to process how I feel about this year's gathering, especially given Bruce Sterling's talk at the end, but long story short, I didn't eat the Tex-Mex food I usually revel in, I didn't meet a key Squidoo lensmaster, I did get to hang out with some key friends in the area, and I did learn a lot. As always, SXSW helps me recalibrate myself; I just need to determine how.
