I know that it’s smog or something that causes the pretty colors, but I still think it’s pretty.
I’ve been in Austin since Friday for the annual SXSW Interactive Festival. Three festival are held at the same time, sort of, the Film Festival, the Music Festival, and the Interactive Festival. SXSW is as popular for what happens after hours and off the books as what happens as part of the official conference.
This photo was taken by my friend Ed. Though I brought my camera with me, I didn’t take a single photo. I am getting my hands on photos of me taken by others to share. In the meantime, this gives you an idea of what I’m talking about.
Yes, I had fun.
This great photo is from the wonderful online photos archives from the Library of Congress.

Very exciting, even if they do keep rescheduling the launch.
Cortney Martin took this great shot of the Baytown bridge. Nice. Wondering how she got the photo without crashing.

This is a wonderful self-portrait from someone I’ve never met. I just thought the photo was great and worth sharing.
I drive by this bookstore several times a week. The photo is very good. Taken by a virtual friend, her photos are always good.

Proof that others are much more into Halloween than I am.
In my defense, I updated my Twitter icon with a Halloween theme. Does that count?
