Today's column in the San Antonio "Express-News" illustrates the collective smarts and fun that is converging on Austin next week at SXSW Interactive.
The column and this video are just a sampling of who's doing what. And there's more coming.
I'll be teaming up with Nan Palmero from SalesBy5 to do daily reports for the online edition of the paper known as MySA.com.
Stay tuned for more and thanks for reading.
