SXSW Interactive 2008 – Pre-Morning Wakeup Planning

Posted by uidesigner on Mar 8th, 2008 | 0 comments

Slept terrible last night so going to grab the starbucks. Today is the first full day. There are ton of events going on and as usual so many at the same time. The schedule online at sxsw.com is really hard to use. I came across this site that manages the SXSW schedule in a unique and highly usefull manner. If I only had a printer. The first session I plan on trying to attend half / and half of the accessibility and Design is in the details. There are 2 other panels I would like to attend at 10:00 but I don’t see that happening.

Last night attended the mix at 6 party. It was much more crowded then last year. Met a few people in line, but once inside it was really too crowded to socialize. Once again they failed to listen and cranked the music loud. So we all had to yell at the top of our voices to talk to other people. Why didn’t they listen to last year and actually keep the music a bit lower like background noise. It was much easier to talk to people outside.

After staying there a few minutes met some new people and headed to dinnner. Moved location to the Spider House Bar and then off to a musuem for some more socializing. The art on display as Latin virgins and saints. One particular painting really was disturbing. It was a large mural of hell and heaven. The night was going to continue to the next venue but it was nw 11:30 or 12:00 so I opted to head back to the hotel and get a good nights rest. As you could tell from up above that did not happen!

Twitter is a great way to share new and exciting resources with all our viewers. Each day I provide links and commentary on all things UI. You can find UI resources, UI design examples, new techniques, and a lot more by Following @UIDESIGNGUIDE on Twitter.

The idea for this design blog first came about two years ago at SXSW Interactive.

Currently UI Design guide is in its fourth redesign. This site takes quite a bit of time to maintain as well as write the content. Just like UI Design this site is a passion that keeps evolving.

Inside, I cover articles on many topics icluding: lessons, prototyping methods, agile UX methods, design reviews, design challenges, application features, and of course design experiences, just to name a few.

With all the blogs out there you may be asking yourself who are you to give advice? That's a fair question. If you have a moment feel free to read about my design history.
