PhizzPop! -- Austin's top interactive designers duke it out Friday.
| |
The PhizzPop Design Challenge is the Battle Royale of Design. Austin's top interactive, Web, and design agencies are pitted against one another to push the limits of technology and creativity. Austin has some of the best interactive designers in the biz. If you are a designer wanted to check out the competition -- or if you are looking for a new design gig -- this is the place to be. Don't believe me? Get the scoop from Shellie.
Regional competitions have already taken place in New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Austin's winners will compete with them at (where else but) South by Southwest Interactive.
Although it's a not too late to register online, I just got confirmation from Chris Bernard at MS that there will still be room to come check out the action.
Hope to see you there - LinearB

Save Internet Radio
Friends,
I received a note from Tim at Pandora. You may have received
the same note. Most likely we will have to call our congress
critters every few months about this to remind them who they
serve. Small price to pay for somafm, pandora, and all the
other great providers of new and indie music.
I just called today. Please do the same.
-Linear
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, it's Tim one more time...
Disaster looms! Yesterday a federal court denied a plea
to delay the massive increase in rates webcasters must
pay the record labels. This means that, absent immediate
Congressional action, the new ruinous royalty rates will
be going into effect on Monday threatening the future of
all internet radio. This is a very dire situation and I'm
writing to ask one more time for your support. The effort
you've made over the past four months has been extraordinary
and has forced the rapid introduction of the bill, but the
committee process has been sluggish and we need to once again
remind the representatives of the urgency of this issue.
This is perhaps the most important phone call you can make
for us.
Please call your Congressional representatives in the House
and Senate and ask them to force immediate action on the
Internet Radio Equality Act and bring the bill to a vote.
It is critical that their phones begin ringing off the hook
starting early in the morning. If it's busy, please try
again later.
Congressperson Lloyd Doggett: (202)225-4865
Senator John Cornyn: (202) 224-2934
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison: (202) 224-5922
I'm sorry that we have to keep asking you for this - but
it's our only recourse. We are no match for the legal and
legislative strength of the RIAA and we need your help.
Thank you again.
Gratefully,
-Tim Westergren
