    1. SXSW was a rip roaring good time.  Some of the highlights of my SXSW experiece was meeting and talk to Chris Brogan, CC Champman, Peter Shankman, Jonathan Fields, and Gary Vaynerchuk. I got to see Ondi Timoner talk about her new documentary We Live in Public about the social experience of internet pioneer Josh Turner.  
    2. The hottest, new game that was the talk of SXSW was Foursquare.
    3. Props goes to Chris Hutchins, the founder of LaidOff Camp.  
    4. Tara Hunt (@missrogue) presentation on Whuffie was a treat.
    5. The AdvisorBlogger was the Guest of the Day...and it was my birthday! Thanks to La Quinta Inn in downtown Austin, TX.  It was a simple, nice gesture that I will not forget.
    6. @Gosam asked me to share what was the Top 9 Things that I loved about SXSW.  His post on SXSW can be found at his Sam Taggart website. 
    7. HP Mini is a great computer.  I love mine.  
    8. Ten Financial Myths Busted Article. 
    9. Adam Smith's Market Never Stood Alone.
    10. The Failure of Asset Allocation.
    11. Tough Times.
    12. Is Facebook worried about Twitter?
    13. FotoFlexer is a FREE photo editor that is easy to use and here is the kicker...the app runs in your browser--no software to download. 
    14. If you are looking for a easy way to share files with a partner, co-worker or friends, you have got to try Drop.IO.  I love this site because of the ease of upload and ability to share files without having to email.  
      I was the Guest of the Day!

    1. Unbelievable, incredible, yummy Velvet Red Cake. I promise, if you were with me, I would share. You should see this Red Cake. Incredible.
    2. USA Today Articles on the market last week.  It was a very difficult week for many investors and advisors.  Many investors are fleeing equities and seeking haven in cash.
    3. ICI is mentioned in many newspaper articles regarding mutal fund outflows and inflows.  The ICI website is worth a peak.  While you are at, take a look at TrimTabs as well.
    4. Jason Zweig. What a great columnist.  I enjoy his weekly WSJ Column. The one referenced this week, "Rebalancing Your Portfolio Can Be a Tough Ride" is well worth the read.  You can also check out his most recent book, Your Money & Your Brain.    
    5. Lessons from Social Media is a small article regarding the use of social media and community.
    6. If you are looking for an inexpensive web conferencing interface, check out DimDim and Yugma.  They are easy to use and....FREE.

    8. The AdvisorBlogger is a HUGE fan of SKYPE.  If you are not on SKYPE, check out the link.  By the way, if you connect on SKYPE, you can find me at lawainmcneil.
    9. Susan Weiner, CFA is a super talented writer and blogger.  Her website, InvestmentWriting should be in your RSS Feed.  You can also follow her on Twitter:  @susanweiner
    10. Read Carl Richards of The Behavior Gap's post Things to Think About located on his Behavior Gap website regarding the market last week. It is a good reminder not only for clients, but for those of us in the investing space.
