[Cinematical] SXSW Review: LOL - Cinematical: it might be even easier for some to roll their eyes at LOL's structuring sequences (which combine footage shot by friends and strangers, solicited by Swanberg over the web) and dismiss the filmmaker for allowing his content to be dictated by technical possibilities. The criticism wouldn't be completely inappropriate here, but it would be better leveled at the latest works of Richard Linklater and Robert Rodriguez;

[the Geniant blog] The 404 Blog ”” iPhone, NASA and NASCAR: So, while the initial price investment for an iPhone might be too high for my taste, the more of these iHotcakes people buy and the more research goes into improving them, the better all mobile devices will be in the long-run, eventually reaching a point where what seems fascinating today simply becomes the the standard, everyday way that mobile phones are expected to work.

[Search Results for HIM] Kerrang! Kerrang! invades Texas! (Part Four): The band supported fellow Athens, Georgia band REM on Wednesday night, and by the end of SXSW they're one of the festival's buzz bands. It's easy to see the attraction: the quartet's sound combines elements of Smashing Pumpkins' dynamism and Neil Young's anthemic proto-grunge roar and even in the rather sedate confines of The Belmont's courtyard, their fuzzy din gets heads a-noddin' and fists a-raisin'.

[Business Logs] Business Logs » Blog Archive » Nokia 770 Instead Of A Laptop?: I work from home, however I do travel 3-4 times per year to conferences and whatnot, and when I’m there I end up needing something to 1) surf the internet, 2) blog with, and 3) check Bloglines. I normally don’t do any real work at conferences besides soaking up all the information and rehashing it into weblog entries, so I used to own a bottom of the line, small, iBook G4, and that was perfect.

[MarylandMedia] "Do Web Designers Need Degrees?" as seen on MarylandMedia: I’m not even sure if teaching on the college level is even something that I want to do as it will likely equal more work and lower pay, but it’s definitely something I’m interested in and here’s why: If the technical aspects of a college education actually prepared students for the web design industry, the question of whether or not a degree is worthwhile would be much easier to answer. I’d like to be one of those instructors that make that degree worthwhile and I hope that more industry professionals will do the same.
