Roo, great news. Will be great to see you in Austin. I’ll be the one heckling in the Eightbar shirt in back.

I was sort of planning to blog my every move myself, but it would be great to have company if you’re going the be there too.

In fact, I do really want to be there, and it will be easier if I’m going as a panelist, so go vote for my panel! :-)

ok listen. If you don’t do SXSW I might come to englandland and kick you in the teeth. Do you need someone to blog your every move? I’m so in!

Interesting to learn the term Desire Paths, I guess that must be a more modern name for something I’d always known as “Cow paths” – an early glimpse at “wisdom of the crowds” in action?

I can’t recall where I first heard the term, but there’s an old poem that pokes a bit of fun at it: “The Calf Path” by Sam Walter Foss (1895) – http://cowhampshire.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2007/1/11/2324261.html

Alternatively, someone of a more pessimistic persuasion might call them a “rut” ;(
