Conference week; where did all the cool kids go?

Seems like everyone is off having fun but me. I really should have gone to ETech, as it's only in San Diego. But it's still awfully expensive for those of us who can't convince our employers to foot the bill.

And maybe I'm behind the curve, but I just noticed how the Technorati page for SXSW is incorporating tagged pictures from Flikr and tagged URLs from Furl and Del.icio.us? Damn, that's hot.
