I am pretty sure that I just got peed on by a bird walking between the convention center in Austin and the Hilton hotel. Its possible that someone was playing a funny joke by squirting just tinkle off of a random balcony somewhere nearby. But really why me, why now. It was definitely a bird.
Anyway, SXSW is the handle for South by Southwest (which actually also goes by South by). I am here in Austin at the interactive part of the conference. Its pretty cool. There are lots of great panels and ideas. Austin has really changed since 2000 (the last time I was here). There are probably ten new buildings downtown and a new light rail line (I have crossed the tracks five times and not seen a train - so I can't confirm that there is a train).
I am also really happy to be back in Texas. I kind of missed the can-do attitude and surprisingly the sweet smell of oil (or spring - whatever).
