Here’s some random photos from my time in Austin, Texas for SXSW Interactive.

Colorado River Sunset

The days were spent listening to panels and chatting with other internet junkies and the evenings spent enjoying the multitude of parties on offer.

Someone described it as summer camp for web nerds.

Lots more in the photo gallery.

It’s not just been parties here in Austin for the interactive festival. I’ve attended lots of panels and exchanged lots of cards. Above is Dan Rather, veteran US TV news journalist.

Today i saw a keynote address by Will Wright, he’s the brains behind games such as Sim City and The Sims. He showed off his new work-in-progress game called SPORE. It’s incredibly ambitious, following the history of evolution. You start as a single celled organism in the primordal soup then progress to a more complex animal. Your species eventually becomes intelligent and you craft a society which leads to a space-faring civilization. Wild stuff.

Kathy Sierra

That’s Kathy Sierra above who i know from her blog Creating Passionate Users. She dishes out good advice.

From Tags to Riches

This was a panel that included three Aussies i knew. It was about rising the career ranks.

Douglas Coupland

This is Douglas Coupland. The man wrote Generation X and Microserfs. Very cool dude.

Phil Torrone

Phil Torrone of MAKE magazine. The magazine has all sorts of fun DIY MacGyver like contraptions to build.

Amanda Congdon

And that’s Amanda Congdon probably the best known videoblogger. I think every geek here has a crush on her.

Ow, my head hurts. Too many vodka + redbulls at the Purevolume/Virb party last night. It was a good party though.

Purevolume/Virb party

It’s the last day of the interactive conference today, then music starts tomorrow. A whole fresh bunch of music types will be arriving in town as the geeks are shipping out.

I’m now nearing the end of SXSW interactive in Austin, having also spent a few marvellous days enjoying San Francisco.

Geeks Love

SXSW interactive is a conference of web geeks like me – people who understand the need to hop online every few hours, to check Flickr, email and twitter. People who come home from a night out and hop on their MacBook’s to geek out and look at youtube videos.

In Limbo

That said these folks sure like to party, at this conference the parties are more talked about and attended than the actual conference panels. People hop from party to party, enjoying the free booze, entertainment and shwag.

Buster McLeod

I’ve met up with a bunch of assorted pals from Australia, the US and the UK. I like it here, though my liver is already getting pickled and the music festival hasn’t even started yet.

Dead sexyJuiceboxxx

I’ve been posting photos to Flickr and have been photographed by two folks that work for Flickr, George and Cal.
