Keith / Francis / Messina / Celik

Celik: Microformats are more than just good class names.

Intro: http://tantek.com/presentations/2006/03/microformats-sxsw/

Francis: Upcoming is the first who used hCalendar.

Messina: How we see the web:

• as an event stream
• as a social space
• as a datastore

As a datastore:

lucene + microformats x APIs = roundtrip attention

Q: How do you filter out inaccurate information?

Messina: Right now we don’t know, but in the future what we’d like to do is allow favorites.

This is the first time I’ve been pleasantly surprised with my computor since I got here: Windows Safe Mode supports WiFi. Whoo, I guess I’m online after all.

Monday morning, and I’m at a fucking Kinkos. My laptop is having some hardware problems, and I just spent 30 minutes on a support call trying to get it resolved. Because of the problem, though, I’m not going to be able to get my wireless connectivity back until I’m back home in Minneapolis.

So, in other words, this is likely the last post from Austin. At least I’ll be able to take notes in Safe Mode. Crap.
