Wow, day 3 was incredble. Two of the panels were fantastic. One was beyond fantastic. Of course, if you were at the conference you know I”m talking about the panel “UX team of one.”

Last night was my little get together of UI Designers. It was smaller than I had hoped but there was still a lot of interesting conversation. This morning I was working in the hall when I stopped Robert Hoekman to say hi. I figure I should, since in about 1 hour I’m heading off to his panel at the Hilton “The 7 Rules of Great Wep Application Design. It should be a great presentation.

Well I arrived here after drivine 4 hours through some really crappy weather. Then I could not find parking close to the convention center, and then the line. The line was about 3 times longer than last year.

SXSW is nearly upon us. This year I plan to keep track of my ideas, brainstorms, visions, goals, and whatever else pops into my head over on my discussion forums. You can feel free to read or submit ideas or even keep track of your own.
