I have been at MIX and SxSW the last two weeks. Or rather, I used SxSW as an excuse to come down for Whurley and Giavonni's BarcampAustin. It was amazing - I've never seen a barcamp done that well. Austin, the city, declared the day BarCamp day. It was cool.
I did have a near death experience though and the guys at Viewzi.tv caught it all on film...
From Whurley
All went well save one small incident involving a 340lbs BattleBot malfunctioning and then taking off as fast as it could for the closet Microsoft employees. Thankfully no one was hurt or injured and they were amazingly good sports afterwards:
Many thanks to the folks at Viewzi.tv for the amazing editing job. And, yes we still love Brady and TeamDX! Good luck in the new season on ESPN guys!
Modern day bullfighting???
