My buddy Stephen is nominated for a social media web awards, so I came out to show support.

volt from Simon Ponder on Vimeo.

Yesterday, while walking into SxSW, I ran into Trent Warnke, an engineer at Chevy and he was showing off the volt.

Tonight I am packing up my gear for SxSW. This is my first year to attend so I have been searching other blogs to see what other first timers have learned.

Based on the recomendations I am taking:
1. Flip
2. MacBook
3. MacBook charger
4. iPhone charger
5. Ethernet cable
6. surge protector
7. Extra batteries
8. Kodak point and shoot (for situations where I don’t want to use my DSLR)
9. memory card reader
10. DSLR
50 mm 1.8
55-250 5.6/6.1
430 EX II
11. Snacks

Anything else I missed?
