I’ll be headed to Austin next week for the third annual Netroots Nation Convention (formerly YearlyKos), where LocaModa will be powering Wiffiti!

I attended last year in Chicago and had a fantastic time, so I’m psyched to see what this year has in store.  Caucuses, mixers, blogger sessions– it’s always a very FULL long weekend.  Howard Dean will be giving the opening keynote on Thursday night, as he did last year… and he’s guaranteed to get everyone riled up and rearin’ to go.

Of course, I’ll be blogging and twittering from the event.  If you’ll be there, be sure to drop me a line or tweet me a tweet (@jayniek).  And if anyone has any suggestions for things I need to check out while I’m there, please help out an Austin newbie!

Here’s a glimpse of last year’s event (HELLO Progressive Bloggers!!)

And, for those of you who won’t be joining me in the trek to Austin, I highly recommend hitting up PodCamp in Boston– I’d be there if I wasn’t going to be here!

If you’re reading this blog, I’m going to go ahead and assume that you have some sort of close, personal relationship with the intertubes (or perhaps I’m just projecting).

While I typically use the term “The Web Outside” to refer to web-based apps in the out-of-home space, today I’ll extend that definition to include web-referential apps in the body art space.

A few of my faves:

The Classic Binary ‘too,

The Goog-Worshipping ‘too (that one has the red outline as proof that it’s real… well, unless that guy has some outstanding skin condition),

The Firefox is Foxy Too ‘too (It’s clearly perfect when coupled with denim shorts… although I’m thinking that one may be a press-on),

and my very favorite…

The Power ‘too

Yea, I went there; I quoted Churchill in a post about digital signage.

Why? Well, aside from deep-seated psychological issues, it’s because the application above almost never came to fruition. Well, until they called LocaModa. *brushes shoulders off*
