The South By Southwest Interactive Festival is winding down now. It's been, like most conferences I'm lucky enough to attend, a great event thick with smart people and their smart ideas both on and off the stage. And, like usual, I've been too occupied with soaking up as much of those ides via sessions and conversations to log much of it.
I'll just run down a list of items here and hopefully I can come back and fill in more details when I return to San Francisco.

- John Perry Barlow and Danah's loft part Saturday night.
- Virgina Postrel's aesthetics of design
