The Chris Show at SXSW
One afternoon at South by Southwest, Kris Smith recorded a podcast with me, Chris Heuer, with a brief walk-through visit by Chris Messina. Despite the fact that I’m a goofball repeatedly throughout the experience, there are some nuggets of goodness in there. Pop it open in another tab and listen while you’re working. Let me know if there are parts that were actually worthwhile. We had fun, at least.

Interview with Lynne D Johnson and Ronald Lewis
John Havens let me steal his show while at SXSW. Literally. He let me walk up, take his spot as an interviewer, and hurl questions at FastCompany’s Lynne D. Johnson and lifestreamer/entrepreneur Ronald Lewis. In this interview, which goes in lots of directions, we talk about media making, about the role of large organizations in communities, and lots more.
Thanks again to John Havens for letting me elbow him out of his own role for this interview.
Tools Restrict Your Thinking
Never forget that the tools you use to think, to dream, to figure something out, are also opportunities to restrict the way you think about a problem. If you’re already thinking about using a wiki for a project, or a blog, you’ve already made some decisions on all the actions that take place thereafter. Deciding on audio versus video versus text early in the project means that you’re talking tools and not the desired goals of the project. Wherever you can, think with outcomes in mind, not which tools you can use.
Inspired by Jon Udell’s interview with Bill Buxton.
