So when I came across this article from the New York Times Shifting Careers blog this morning about eating well at work (Part I, so I hope that means there is more to come), I just had to stop and read it.

If you've been wondering what to eat to be sharp before an important meeting or how to fuel your body for a long day, they'll tell you. Chocolate martinis were not listed. Bummer.

Starting late Friday afternoon, I'll be adding a few new words to my vocabulary at SXSW.

Always a learning experience, I'm starting SXSW with a panel called "Bankrupt Your Startup in Five Easy Steps" Friday at 5 p.m. I'll be listening in on about a dozen other panels as SXSW runs through Tuesday, but I'll be checking email regularly. Drop me a line.

Other than some great Tex-Mex and BBQ, my time at SXSW was highlighted by learning the true power of Twitter, e-commerce, community and internationalization. We even successfully experimented with some live blogging about politics.

We also took lots of pictures along the way (BBQ included).
