DC represented BIG TIME in Austin this year at South by Southwest. We may have even outnumbered the British contingent. So... who was there and what'd you see that was awesome? I'll take the easiest one:
Will Wright's keynote If you were there, you'll know what I mean when I say Will Wright is likely the smartest man alive. He delivered an hour-long presentation without pausing (and with a freaking broken arm) and then gave an in-depth demo of his new game Spore. I won't belabor you with fanboy-ism, so go check out his keynote at the link below.
