Tomorrow I’m blasting off for Austin, Texas, for the 2008 South by Southwest interactive festival, a gathering of like-minded geeks, developers, designers, artists, entrepreneurs and gurus. I’ll be tweeting the entire time (assuming that Twitter doesn’t blow up from the massive increase in user activity). Looking forward to seeing old friends, meeting new ones, frosty beverages and heavy doses of inspiration.

SXSW always sets the tone for my year. If you’ve never attended, I highly recommend you budget for it in 2009!
