According to yesterday’s New York Times, 2009 is a bellweather year for Blu-ray High Definition DVD’s. According to this blog, however, Blu-ray DVD’s are doomed.

Today, after months of careful planning, I find myself at SXSW interactive in Austin. It’s a bit like spring break for web 2.0 demographic, plus its the same week as the SXSW film and music festivals, which arguably draws an even more fun-loving crowd.
