SXSW Interactive Festival

If you have no plans from March 7th – 11th I suggest you head on down to Austin Texas for the SXSW Interactive festival. The keynote speaker is Henry Jenkins who is the head of Comparative Media Studies at MIT. The two books I have by him on my currently reading bookshelf are Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide and Fans, Bloggers and Gamers. Neither of which I have finished, but both I have started and so far very much enjoy. Then there are the multitude of panels which on their own should make for one hell of an interactive festival. I only hope I can get the three days off to go!

Well, that and a hotel room…
