Eye Tagger V2 from james powderly on Vimeo.

One day left to go on round 1 of the GRL/FAT collab with TemptOne and Family Ebeling in sunny, shallow Los Angeles, CA.

First up: FAT Lab Venice, where Zach and Chris are pouring over Tempt’s eye data, analyzing, quantifying and coding — just generally getting their nerd on to the break of dawn improving the tracking, output and interface for the Eye Writer V1.0 custom software/hardware apparatus.

You can peep what they’re about here:

… and here…

Meanwhile, on a planet far, far away, called Downtown L.A., Tempt’s second family — Angst, Duke, Mural, Drase, Chaz and the rest of the K2S, STN and FB crew — are out laser bombing the Glory Church of Jesus Christ and repping their brother Tempt… cuz crew love is true love.

… Red Roth is back in Hong Kong knee deep in Dim Sum… Agent Watson is back in Amsterdam teaching the euro-terrorists of the future….

Me and LM4K found a great fish taco place and are working hard on our full body tans. Hey, Love Monkey you want another Pacifico? Well hell powder, dont mind if i do…

And TemptOne… Well, he is in Alhambra… being an inspiration to everyone who’s ever met him and resting those hungry eyes. See you tomorrow night T1.

For those of you who dont know, SXSW Interactive is a once a year event held in beautiful Austin, Texas where some of the world’s most well-known, male, web 2.0 Twitterati get together, talk to the prettiest girl they have ever met for 15 minutes, ride a mechanical bull and then throw up in the lobby of their hotel. Females in the IT industry also attend and contribute.

GRL was invited to give “the best keynote of SXSW” (so that’s what we did). Unfortunately, My partner Evan could not attend because he likes to eat food and sleep indoors (pussy). If you also could not attend, you can still watch video documentation of the Keynote below.

ALERT:
Another video on Youtube of the Keynote presentation that includes the part of the talk (edited from the official SXSW documentation) where i mention Evan didnt come because SXSW doesnt pay their contributors. In the end we are all tricksters to some degree, aren’t we.

Thanks to Virginia, Ben,Raina, Jessica, ELLIOTT, Jaja, Shawn, Hugh, Souris, Ben C, Jamie, Rocketboom, Ronen V, Jen B, the haters (for speaking your mind), and all the nerds I’ve loved before…
