While waiting for tasty Japanese Ramen near Yaletown, Raincity Studios' Dave O and Roland Tanglao talk about upcoming plans for the SxSW Music and Interactive fair in Austin, Texas during March 2008.
Topics include proposed booths activities, speaker panels, podcasting station, videocasting experiments, Bruce Sterling's yearly rant, and certainly the NxSW party hosted by Raincity Studios, Blue Flavor and Serverbeach at the Iron Cactus on Monday March 10th at 10:30pm.
See also: "5 minute video cast with DaveO about RCS happenings: Facebook, Shanghai Drupal Group, etc."
PS Gonna try to hook up a podcast with super-blogger docce (and possibly Utah's biggest sh!t disturber since Ed Abbey or Mark Hofman) to talk about her new, Drupal-powered site.
PPS Remember Kris Krug is heading up a panel called "Blame Canda" ~ more on this topic later.
Opera CTO Publishes Open Letter to Microsoft

Opera Web Browser Corporation CTO Hakon Wium Lie recently published an open letter to Microsoft to encourage them to make their IE browser standards compliant. Opera has as well filed a complaint with the European Commission to force Microsoft to respect and use open Web standards in the design of its IE browser.
Håkon Lie is a respected authority in these matters not only as CTO of Opera, but also from his experience at CERN and W3C designing and contributing the standards the Web is based upon. In his open letter, Mr. Lie points out that despite Microsoft's considerable resources and talent, as well as for all the promises made on the subject, it still fails to implement open web standards. Mr. Lie points as an example how the Acid2 standard has not been implemented in IE, the web's most popular browser.
