Watch me and my three chins walk through the SXSWi trade show talking to all sorts of exciting people including GroundLink, Animoto, and Volusion. Fast forward to 5:15 to see me talking to a giant, mute penguin!

The tradeshow at SXSWi is always a bit small – the real action happens at the panels – but it’s an interesting collection of established brands and up-and-comers that made it worth a walk-through. It’s a bit long, be warned, but 17:00 brings us a cool technology from Japan and 20:00 in brings us Kinect Robot Boxing. Regardless, if you want to see, as Kyle said, “an old Michael Cera” walk the show floor, this is your video.
