Buy a House

Just the paint, your own colors, is liberating.

Make sure to get a dishwasher, too.



start using the library
Yes, absolutely. 3 years ago

So good, and free. Get your government-subsidized file sharing while you can, and make sure to augment it with Udell’s excellent Library Lookup



go to SXSW Interactive
SXSW Interactive was a letdown, honestly 3 years ago

It was like watching blogs, in real time. (Eminent bloggers talk about blogging: Hey, so, uh, what do you see blogs doing? Uh, it’s like social hacking! Yeah. Question from the audience?)

I suppose I only say this in contrast to Etech—which was like Geek Show and Tell: new stuff all over; Jeff Bezos standing up Annie Hall-style during the launch of Flickr.

SXSW was too smug and self-congratulatory, more style than substance.

Get your employee to splurge for the Platinum pass (they don’t know what they’re spending), stay the whole week and see the bands, and films in the evening. Just Interactive is a waste.
