Ryan Healy Really interesting article from Mark Cuban about the value of time and its impact on media consumption. He says young people don't value time as much as older people so they are willing to work harder to find and engage with the media they do consume. I think he makes a great point. Funny thing is, I feel like one of these "old" people he describes rather than the typical 20something...i guess thats what start up life does to you! http://bit.ly/byYA4O What are your thoughts on this?

Many young people think they've got all the time they want, and it often takes a traumatic event, like the death of a friend to realize the finiteness of time and life.

Trish Cardona: I totally agree. At some point, the abundance of choice becomes moot given the finite time everyone has.

We gave up cable TV and got a DVR instead to record free-to-air shows. It was virtually painless.

And I regularly declare a 'fast' on my regular recordings so I can 'miss' them a bit.

It allows me to have a bit of time on my hands, let alone an opportunity to go through the backlog of shows that usually pile up after about a week or so for sheer lack of time (and energy as one gets older) to keep up with everything!

Timothy Johnson III Hi guys. I'm currently working out of Launchpad Creatives, based in Woodbridge, NJ. At the moment, we're currently trying to brainstorm events to increase foot traffic and get freelancers, coders, and all those others who usually work at home to come in and see the space, and really utilize it to the fullest. Do you all have any suggestions on how to do that? If there is/was a co-woking near you, what types of things would you want to see happen there or entice you to work in the space?

They promote the utilization of the space through programming events, and mini-conference type activities for their members. I think David's idea is a good one. Sounds good, Timothy!

I will keep some warm clothes (it can go down to 40 degrees at night) because weather in Texas is very unpredictable.

Ian Loomer So I just paid for a badge and booked a hotel room. This is my first time at any kind of interactive event, does anyone have any suggestions for panels to attend. Maybe just tips in general while attending the event?

Ryan Paugh Hey guys, I want to start working on a Brazen Meet-Up over SXSW weekend. Any native Austinites in the house that can help me find a venue? For the rest of you, I'm thinking about a Saturday afternoon Happy Hour. Thoughts?

Philippe Mesritz Hey, everyone. I've been in Austin for a while now (3.5 years) and have worked as a consultant for the same company the entire time. Although it's been interesting, I'm currently looking for new challenges so anyone that's got opening or leads for senior management in Client Services, Customer Operations, Technical Support or Call Center realms, drop me a line. I'd love to chat with you. I'm based in Georgetown, but don't mind driving (unlike most people around here!).
