I hear ya, my brotha. I hear ya.

We're really glad you're coming to New Orleans, too! We're going to have a blast, and it will be great to see you again. I think last year's SXSW might have been the last time I saw you, and that was probably for all of four minutes, what with the craziness and all.

I have to give a +1 for both Mental Models and Rosenfeld Media's site. Ordering was painless, and before the print version arrived I had a full PDF to start into, for that immediate gratification feeling. Luckily I have a brand new project to start applying some of Indi's methods, which doesn't too often coincide with learning new techniques. While I can't offer a conclusion yet I can say the book and Louis's site are worth checking out.
