[...] As usual, this year’s lineup looks great and I’m excited to be part of it: Design Patterns: Defining and Sharing Web Interface Design Languages Put design patterns to use in your Web applications with an overview of the what, why, and how of shared online design pattern libraries. In particular I’ll discuss what it takes to develop a usable design language and how disparate lists of design patterns can converge into a shared online resource. Get Unstuck: Panel with Liz Danzico (Daylife), Kristian Bengtsson (FutureLab), Chris Messina (Citizen Agency), and Jeffrey Zeldman (Happy Cog). Is your team mired in the goo and muck of old-school thinking? Are your designers and developers divided on their approach and about to throw in the towel? Are you dying to move from a stale world to a more agile, innovative approach? This panel features formerly stuck experts as well as those who have helped clients get out of the muck. [...]

Really, you sign your book? I mean I knew you had an ego, but really?

Sam Hill: 1. At SXSW, everyone who has a book signs the book. 2. If people line up to get a book signed by the author, that's not ego, it's business. 3. Don't be such an ass.

I feel so left out : (

Time and money constraints are the reasons I can’t attend SXSW. I do plan on getting there one day!! I just hope this buzz continues right through to @media in London as I plan on attending.

Do you really think content is the king?

I’m quoting panel description copy, not stating an opinion. The panel is about writing for the web.

Do you really think content is the king? Many bloggers think it is. But for designers, it may be a different story.

I look forward to seeing your panel (and your illustrious phone) in Austin. By the way, to help make sense of the lineup at SXSWi this year, may I humbly suggest looking at Conferenceer, a SXSW networking site I've just launched. I put it together because I wanted to subscribe to the panels in iCal, download vCards of the speakers, and (most of all) read the blogs of all the folks I would meet in Austin. Right now, all of the panelist profiles, including yours and that of your missus, are up on the site, as are about a hundred new folks. And hey, here's a link to your panel page right here...

I’m looking forward to leaving the snow behind here in Milwaukee, WI and also most of the panels you just mentioned. You better have that StarTAC ready if I see you down there!
