Like I have for the past few days, I am sitting on the floor with the computer plugged into a wall, stealing power. The difference is that I’m in the Dallas Airport, connected via wifi through Wayport. For $6.95 I get access. My dinner cost more than that and I was done eating in five minutes.
After 5 days, SXSW is over for me. The music and film festivals are just kicking in now. The Interactive events are over. Unbeknownst to me, Bruce Sterling (the author, one of my FAVORITE authors) invites everyone who attends his session over to his house for beers. Due to my flight I couldn’t go. I would absolutely love to go. But I can’t change my flight for a party. Perhaps next year…
The SXSW has invigorated me. Work has been in the background and cool new things have been in my mind. I met a ton of people and I can barely remember half of them. I took a ton of notes and hopfully will have a full report soon.
I need to take a break from the computer now….

DFW Airport has Wifi? Heh, I didn’t know that (and I think I may have tried it previously, back when I was still employed with a company-laptop). Does the whole terminal have Wifi, or just certain areas?
I’m back home now.
It appeared that the entire terminal was wired for Wayport wifi. I stumbled on at least six different APs.
I was wondering if you would get a chance to meet Bruce Sterling. I remember hearing that he had a big lawn party at his house some time. That would rock.
We missed you at Sterling’s party. Seriously. I looked for you – I didn’t get a chance to tell you goodbye earlier. It was great having a chance to meet you. Now every time I cross the street, ignoring the “Do Not Walk” sign, I think of you.
