SXSW- Friday March 8
March 09, 2013
I finally arrived in Austin after an unfortunate and unscheduled overnight layover in Houston. Was the plane late because of the sequester? I guess we will never really know. Anyway, we are staying in a very cute house, much better than last year when we were banished to the hotel with no water between 9 [...]

Developers from Facebook, Tumblr, Ember.js and Webkit discussed when it was appropriate to choose to develop apps in the native environment (they were primarily discussing apps for iOS), when web based apps are a better choice. There was also a discussion [...]

SXSWi Thursday and Friday
Thursday Got to Austin late, past midnight, and I still had to wait in long line for a taxi- our hotel is far, far away from the convention center, and far from the airport. jetBlue was fun, I enjoy channel surfing on the plane and eating blue potato chips. I believe I am the last [...]
