application overload! Shiny new toys....

Do you have a set of apps that do it all happily, or do you tinker with shiny new things?

Anybody going to SXSWi?

I'm going to the South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin next month. Is anybody else going? It would be nice to meet up with some of you in person for a beer or two, so I can tell my wife that you people do exist. If anything, it will keep me out of the strip clubs all week.
