Michelle Almost Turns into Pile of Goo in Front of Computer

I want to plan to see nothing but the best SxSW Interactive speeches available since I am taking time off for it. Unfortunately, the SxSW scheduling page only allows me to see the topic of a speech by a particular time period. I cannot see what speaker is speaking at what time, so it takes some work to create the best route of attack possible. I’m excited about going but I’ve been looking at this stuff for much longer than I’d like.

My advice to SxSW speakers? Make sure you come up with a title that blows all other titles out of the conference. Make it the Hollywood movie poster for your speech. Try referring to massive explosions, torid love affairs, or Denzel Washington. I mean really, who doesn’t like Denzel? You’d fill up the room in no time.

I have to clean my house and get away from the computer before my eyes glaze over.

    See, this link has the same problem. I fully appreciate that some people are just better than others at coming up with snazzy titles. That doesn’t mean the speech has any more merit than the others. I guess this is the ad hominem approach to SxSW, but it makes more sense than going to a craptastic speech because it sounded cool.
