Shopify is going to be at South by Southwest, and we’re throwing a little warm-up party on Saturday afternoon for our customers and friends! Join us at Stephen F’s Bar and Terrace at the Intercontinental Hotel (a.k.a. the Stephen F. Austin Hotel – 701 Congress Avenue, at 7th Street) this Saturday, March 10th between 3 and 6 p.m. for drinks and finger food on us!
The Shopifolks who’ll be in Austin are:
- Cody Fauser (@codyfauser), Chief Technical Officer
- Daniel Weinand (@danielweinand), Chief Design Officer
- Edward Ocampo-Gooding (@edwardog), Developer Advocate
- Harley Finkelstein (@hfizzle), Chief Platform Officer
- Mark Hayes (@allsop8184), Marketing and PR Guy
- Tobias Lutke (@tobi), Chief Executive Officer
- …and Yours Truly, Joey deVilla (@accordionguy), Platform Evangelist
We purposely picked that time and place so it wasn’t too far from the Convention Centre and wouldn’t happen at the same time as all the big parties. Think of it as a way of warming up for the crazy Saturday night bashes. We’d love to see you there!

At the recent South by Southwest Interactive conference, most of the note-takers, myself included, took notes at the sessions using their laptops. One notable exception was designer Mike Rohde, who took notes the old-fashioned way: with pen and paper, or more specifically, pen and Moleskine notebook.

These aren’t your garden-variety lecture notes, but what he calls “sketchnotes”. Rather than being mere points taken down during the presentation, they include elements of layout, graphic design and whimsical illustration. “While sketchnotes capture concentrated concepts for each session well,” Rohdes writes, “I think they’re even better at awakening ideas stored in the minds of session attendees.”

Mike scanned the sketchnotes he took and put them up in this Flickr photoset. You can also read his blog entry about the sketchnotes here.

This isn’t his first set of sketchnotes — he also took some at the SEED conference in January and posted them in this Flickr set.
