It’s 10a on Monday morning, I’m sitting in the Ajax and Accessibility panel (Ajax Kung Fu Meets Accessibility Feng Shui) with Jeremy Keith and Derek Featherstone and I just realized that South by Southwest is about halfway over. The last couple days have been a whirlwind of panels, seminars, networking and almost no sleep — and it’s all be worth it.
OK, back to listening to the panel…

This year I decided to find out what this whole SXSW conference thing was all about. Yesterday I hopped on a plane and when it landed I was surrounded by nerds, geeks and trendy Web 2.0 developers and designers — I suddenly felt home. I spent the day talking to and hanging out with the likes of Steve Ganz, Kimberly Blessing, Kent Brewster, Stephanie Trimble, Dylan Schiemann, Gilnda the Good Witch, among others.
Right now I’m in the “How to Bluff Your Way in Web 2.0″ hosted by the very funny Jeremy Keith and Andy Budd. It is a 90 minute mockery of Ajax, Web2.0 and important site design. Half the people in the room have their laptops open and are playing Buzzword Bingo — 2 people have won so far.

Looks like Yahoo is getting pretty active on hosting exciting web development events! In their latest offering they will be hosting “Browser War Episode II” where the “Jedi Masters” behind Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera will converge on a single floor to talk about DOM scripting — and perhaps we’ll even see a death match. OK, that’s my wishful thinking creeping into my blog again. This will all be moderated by the very smart Douglas Crockford.
This should be a very exciting and insightful night!
