So... some of you have wondered why I did not blog anything from SXSW. Well, I got food poisoning and it ratcheted me down more than a few notches and I missed all the panels I really wanted to see. But luckily Badger live blogged the one I REALLY felt bad missing. (THANK you Liz!)

In 2005 I stumbled into the first "Blogging While Black" panel and live blogged it. It was one of those experiences that stayed with me for a variety of reasons. I learned a lot from the panelists. It gave me a tiny bit of insight into race and identity that I did not have when I walked in the room. And it connected me with some very cool bloggers like George, Lynne and Tiffany. It was also interesting that my live blog post was one of the most commented upon blog posts I've ever had. It gave me lots to wonder about.

Thus the 2006 panel was on my list. But my body had other plans. Read it all at badgerbag: messy, surly, full of books: liveblogging - Blogging While Black panel.

What has blogging while black mean to you since last year?"

I still have notes from a few other panels, plus the promised mind maps from our panel on Us/Them. After I finish today's client work, this is next on my to do list!
