Nailed It: SxSW on $10 a Day | Slacktory
Nick Douglas shows how to attend the world’s coolest tech festival without going broke.
For this video I lay face-down in a puddle under an SUV, harassed various nice people who were really cool about it, and at the end came very close to physical harm.
I sat in meetings that were all about taking over corners. How many corners do we need?

Emotionally troubled Superman
Maybe he’s sad, or maybe he’s really annoyed that people haven’t figured out he’s just Clark Kent without glasses.
Looks like Dr. Manhattan’s face.

Rewriting sites (“aggregators”) will never adopt Curator’s Code in meaningful numbers because they don’t care. Whatever you think of what they do is irrelevant to them: they think it’s fine, their readers don’t care, and it seems to be legal.

10% of the time my reaction to Marco is “Oh come on, fuck you” but 90% it’s “Damn right and thank you, you magnificent bastard!”
This article is the magnificent bastard kind.

Caroline McCarthy: A Response to Julia Allison's Op-Ed Addressed To Women Moving To NYC, From A Woman Who Once Moved To NYC
[Warning: TLDR]
Tonight on Twitter I stumbled upon Julia Allison’s NY Post op-ed titled “A warning to a new generation of women — don’t let ‘Sex and the City’ ruin your life.” (Co-written with her friend Julia Price.) At first I was like “huh,” and then I skimmed it and was…
Goddamn, thank you all for this reblog-symposium.
Caro, I hope we can chat some time about our respective realizations that we’d bought into bullshit personas in our early 20s. SxSW has made me temporarily regress to that a bit, thanks to the saturation of fakesters here that pulls me back to 2006 Silicon Valley and makes it difficult to focus on the really smart, honest talented people here.
Christine, thank you for that “best ones” point and what it reveals about imbalanced representation. Shit won’t be right until each woman’s opinion can be assessed as her own, just as each man’s is.
Julia, “We had to go out nearly every night just to maintain being considered for these invites”? Thank you for reducing that lifestyle to its most absurd essence, to further inoculate me from returning to it. I hope you can learn that New York, and every place, has plenty of not-that, and to let that realization open options back up to you.
Rachel, thanks for sending me this. I miss you, let’s have our own little symposium on the couch.
British company Pavegen has developed a new paving tile that captures the energy of footsteps and turns it into electricity.
On a small scale, one day’s worth of foot traffic over a few tiles could power one street light overnight. In another recent field test at a music festival, dancers stomping on a dance floor with Pavegen tiles generated enough energy to recharge their mobile phones.
The company’s first big field test will come this summer at the London Olympics. Pavegen will be installing its system just outside the Westfield Stratford Shopping Center, one of Europe’s biggest and busiest urban shopping malls. The tiles will be placed on one of the main pedestrian thoroughfares leading into nearby London Olympic Park. Depending on the foot traffic, the company hopes its tiles might be able to power the mall’s entire lighting system. More.

Am I crazy for thinking that can’t possibly recoup the energy cost of making, installing, and maintaining the system?
