The energy at SXSW is powerful and chaotic, make that chaordic (chaotically orderly). As ever, I have too much going on, missing a lot of talks I want to see but picking up random bits via Twitter, blogs, etc. Discussed with Paul Miller aka DJ Spooky this morning the impact of drive-by information giving/taking – the advantages are not available to everybody, you have to be something of a mutant to handle the massive random information streaming enabled by evolving hyperconversational technologies. (For some, fracknologies… how the frack do I manage this deluge?)

From the sessions I’ve managed to attend so far, I have a pile of ambitious notes and ideas that I want to weave into some kind of coherent account this week, but that will take some time. Meanwhile taking it all in, and spending much of today setting up for the massive Plutopia 2010 extravaganza tonight (join us!)
