Pace and Kyeli are going to take such shit if it turns out it’s best to have a badge.

Honestly, tough, the clincher was that there’s no price break between now and the conference. If you need one, just get one there… simple as that.

I didn’t get tickets either. Mostly, I was too broke, but Pace and Kyeli assured me it was the right thing to do. Especially living in Austin and all. Andddd I will be at their meet up on Monday so I will probably see you there!

I was always a bit more trusting of online people than others tended to be, but most of my “internet friends” were people I probably spent several hours a week chatting to, so I personally just figured it would be too much of a PITA to fake a personality, background, and photos for harmless internet chatting. Yanno?

Darren – I totally know what you’re talking about! (Mr. T, A team, and waking up in new places) I wouldn’t, though, except that my husband started randomly talking about it the other day. I’m kind of pop culture retarded sometimes…

[...] Johnny B. Truant uses the same example in one of his blog entries. It’s a great post that points out the fact that money is not what people want. People don’t want the money itself and the things money can buy don’t really make anyone happy. At least if people are being honest and true to themselves. People have asked me why I want to make the million dollars [...]

@Matthew, that’s a great point. I was trying to figure out what’s behind it and I think it’s related to the Facebook thing: “Pics or it didn’t happen.”

When you’ve got a stack of business cards in a drawer in your desk — or in a box on top of your desk, or matted, framed and mounted hanging on the wall behind your desk — then they’re real people and not just names on the screen.

@Matthew – That was my argument, but people keep telling me that there is a SLIGHT chance that I might run into people who don’t know me yet in a city of millions.

Wow JT .. didn’t know you could spot the bubbles from so far away! That’s great. You are so clever. Anyhow … I love this post (and not just because of the inclusion in the ensemble) … my absolute favourite thought is the ‘little snippets of off-the-cuff, unrehearsed interaction that by themselves mean nothing, but which all together paint a surprisingly vivid picture.’. So true.

Anyhow, when I first ventured into social networking .. it just reminded me of when I was travelling. How you’d strike up a conversation and become close to people very quickly. Perhaps the shared experiences and freedom of travelling enabled this – but I felt exactly the same in this environment. The internet has freed up our communication totally – and the ability to really know people before we’ve even met them in the flesh. Fantastic. I love it.

Have a great time at SXSW .. next year for me! I wanna meet the very eloquent chainsaw-wielding pervert energy consultant! (Hi Jess!)

Take care and love from Downunder! x
