I'm going to Austin. Come find me.

Will you be at SXSW? Need a break? The Lobby is open March 13–15 at The Belmont. No badge, no agenda. Just come say hi.

I’ll be at The Belmont throughout SXSW. Come say hi!

Quick one before I head to SXSW.

I’ll be in Austin Thursday through Sunday, and I’m keeping my schedule deliberately open. No panels. No green room. Just conversations — the kind that actually move things.

If you’re there and you work on any of the beats I cover here — surveillance infrastructure, who profits from AI, corporate power in the information stack, autonomous weapons — I want to meet you.

I’m holding daily open hours and taking 1:1 appointments. Click to find time together!

See you in Austin,

Jake
