SXSWi

There’s not many conferences, specifically internet ones, where you can go from one panel with a Canadian in paisley silk smoking jacket reading Thoreau (complete with pipe) to a presentation on Making Yourself Interesting where one of the powerpoint slides is simply “Do Epic Shit” in 500 pt type.

The trend of  asking questions through Twitter is pretty cool as well – tag your tweet (I do really hate that term)  with a hash tag (#roux in this panel’s case) and the moderator (and the rest of the audience via Twitter search) can see your question an pose it to the panel. Wacky.
