the Monday session you attended at SXSW?

No, I see this session was at a hotel. I run the sound boards at the Convention Center. Bill and Melinda sent a lot of people to SXSW so they were showing up in all the venues.

I'm on a break until Monday. The last good session I saw had parents of Sandy Hook victims talking about an app to facilitate anonymous reporting of bullies, potential shooters, or potential suicides. The technology that keeps it anonymous, and yet allows case workers to make a relationship with the messangers was interesting. It turns out that most people reporting a potential suicide are really writing about themselves, and many tips about shooters are from those contemplating shooting up a school (or shopping mall etc).

I wanted to ask them about being in the city of Alex Jones but the session was tightly focused on the tools to stop additional shootings.

Today was all about music, I saw some good bands, and a nice presentation about Dolby visuals and sound for movies.
