I might just be messing with Texas.

Besides my planned objective, critical, and sometimes offbeat coverage of 2008 South by South West festival in Austin next week, I may possibly be giving a short talk at Bar Camp Austin this coming Saturday, about the oft-overlooked fact that while most of us like to make fun of Ted Stevens and wish that Congress could totally understand the Internet and Interactive Technologies, we do a very, very poor job of presenting ourselves and thinking of ways we can pro-actively work to prevent the wrong Committee Chairman from disliking your company enough that his bill could hurt you.
