• Leo Laporte interviews Kevin Rose’s parents at the Big Digg Shindigg @ SXSW

  I snapped this picture just outside of Stubb’s after the Digg party. The look of a proud father.

• WordPress hosting BBQ at SXSW tomorrow

  If you’re a WordPress fan attending SxSW (or you just happen to be in Austin), please join us for lunch after 12pm* tomorrow, Sunday March 14. We’re getting the BBQ from Rudy’s and the red velvet cake from Central Market. Yum! Come, eat, talk about the cool things you’re doing with WordPress, let us know what we can do better, gossip about Mark Jaquith’s new hairstyle, whatever. Think of it like a WordCamp without presentations. I’ll be there, lead developers Mark Jaquith and Ryan Boren will be there, core contributors will be there, plugin and theme developers will be there, and basically all the most intelligent and attractive people from SxSW will be there. You should be, too!

  This video was just shown at the neuromarketing talk at SXSW. Was the hit of the session by a longshot.

• SXSW day 2

  Even though the first official talks didn’t start until 2pm today, SXSW has been in full swing since last night. I just finished a talk by Margot Bloomstein (link) on Content Strategies, which @hesnow gives a rundown of. For this afternoon I’m still deciding between a Cooking for Geeks talk or Revenge of Editorials.

  So far the AT&T network is holding up good despite the load of video and other data being uploaded by virtually everyone here. The Austin Convention Center is also managing its wi-fi nicely.

• SXSW Interactive is about to kick off

  A few hours ago we went down to the Austin Convention Center to check in a little early for SXSW. We waited in line less than 30 minutes, picked up our badges, grabbed a swag bag, and walked around downtown and took in some of the visitors. The weather was beautiful today, so a lot of visitors from the East Coast were having an especially good time. It’s very hard not to enjoy Austin this time of year.

  The next five days will be a whirlwind of panels, talks, demos, core conversations, and more.

  Swag bag looks good. Got a copy of Linux Journal, some WordPress – Texas stickers, a t-shirt, and some other geeky stuff I probably won’t have time to sort through until after the conference.

  If you’re in town and would like to get together, check out my SXSW page, which contains my conference schedule.
