I Am the Answer
Almost forgot about this until I was cleaning out my travel bag this morning: on my way to throwing out the mostly superfluous contents of my 2006 South by Southwest Interactive Festival goodies bag, I ran into Jeff Croft and Wilson Miner in the lobby of the Hampton Inn. They pointed out that I might want to hang on to the “SXSW Activity Book,” a “cheeky” collection of nerd-friendly, rainy day-style games included amongst the ad flyers and industry magazines stuffed inside the bag. The back of the four-page booklet featured a trivia question, the answer to which is actually my name. I got a kick out of that.

Congratulations, you're a geekebrity!

Funny, I read this post on my reader, without seeing who posted it - I looked at the picture and knew the answer... all proud of myself I looked up and saw you were proud, too!
Good for you!

I must say, I would probably be a little frightened to find my name as the answer to a widely circulated trivia question.

Glad you got a kick out of it, Khoi. I'm just as tickled to see a nice photo of the flyer posted here. ;) If anyone who wasn't at SXSW wants to download a copy, you're more than welcome!
Jeff Croft
That thing was fun, Jared -- and damn, Khoi, you make it look pretty special in that photo, too!

Thanks Jared. For folks who weren’t at SXSW, Geniant is the Dallas-based IT consultancy that put the activity book together. Cheers! And, by the way, Jared has an awesome Web site.
