Or look for it in your favorite neighborhood (independent or chain) bookstore. Ask them to order it for you if you don't see it on the shelves or right up front.
Don't hate the player
Mark Miller is hatin' on SXSW:
SXSW, at least the Interactive part, is not any fun. You have several people here, trying to be a "techie", yet failing miserably, with such panels as, "Bluffing your way through CSS", et cetera. Also attempting to talk about the "blogosphere". And then you have just in general the publications and such of SXSW still trying to be "cool" and "grassroots". It's a big corporate stunt. If they'd admitted they were a big corporate thing, that'd be fine. But they still try to delude themselves. A $275 ticket is not "cool" and "grassroots". And of course they still have volunteers. Saddening.

Hatin'? I suppose. I just don't see what the point of the Interactive part is anymore. They've lost most of the original crew, and have turned into this giant corporate event. I have nothing against corporate events, DECUS was of course interesting. But they never tried to delude themselves into thinking otherwise.
