SXSW – See You There?

In 2006, I was fortunate enough to be asked to speak on a discussion panel about blog design at the South by Southwest Interactive ’06 conference (SXSWi).

SXSW Interactive – One week to go.

Public speaking really isn’t my bag, ya know. I’ve done it at various times in my lifetime, when I’ve had to – but usually never voluntarily. Though, when I was in high school and college – I was in all those public speaking type deals like the debate club, forensics – – and even the drama club and have umpteen gazillion plays and musicals under my belt. In addition – many years of singing in …
