Is it Saturday already? Time is flying at SXSWi, and we're rolling with the punches After making the party scene last night till the wee hours, evangelizing the Download Squad to anyone who'd listen, and redefining the phrase, "overdid it", we were feeling a little blurry this morning. We managed to miss the Expression Engine demo, although we hear it was fab.
We've been counting up the important stuff as the days progress. Here's our tally so far.
Number of times:
- Accosted by a Sun rep on a Segway hawking passes to see a geriatric Smithereens: 5. Oh, wait, 6. No, 7. Gah!
- bumped into Robert Scoble: 2
- Called Matt Mullenweg about an interview with no response: 2
- Seen the Download Squad ubercommenter, Ronin691: 2
- Contemplated a liver transplant: 2
- Business cards collected: one bazillion
- Bugged by the overzealous volunteer in the press room: 5

Let's hear some talk about Opera! Especially Opera vs. Mozilla vs. Internet Explorer! Opera gets too little credit on this site. Sad. Let's see some talk about the all new browser war in the making!

kyleabaker - When I first read your post, I thought you wrote you wanted to hear more talk about Oprah.
Oprah vs. Mozilla, that would be cool.

Thanks. We try hard.
Seriously, we've filmed a ton of interviews which we haven't had time to edit and upload. There's only two of us on the ground here, and it's crazy. We'll be sorting out the content we've made for at least a week to come so, stick around. We've talked to Razorfish, Mzinga, Twine, Gary Vaynerchuk, Freshbooks, MakeMeSustainable and more.
As an aside, can I tell you that hotel WiFi is teh suck?

We didn't say you were old, we said the Smithereens were. We stick by that.
Stay young,
