Sure! We all do! Well the brainiacs at Frog decided to take the classic arcade game and bring it to the next level.

They created Kinect-Driven Pneumatic Boxing Robots and showed them off to the party-goers at last nights opening party for the SXSW Interactive track, host by Frog and Microsoft. Essentially 2 humans each use their own Kinect to control the boxing bots inside the ring. The crowd LOVED this party centerpiece and I must say I want a bot of my very own. You can read more details here but check out the video right now to see these massive robots in action.

After a while, those not attending the event may get a little bored with all the SXSW-related activity. But  Phil Wheat is doing something pretty cool with his SXSW photos which I hope more people will do, too. Phil has transformed his pictures into photosynths using the Microsoft Live Labs’ Photosynth technology. There are currently 3 sets of SXSW synths available online containing hundreds of his photos stitched together for zoomable 3D viewing. At the moment, though, 2 of the 3 sets are looking out a window. I’d love to see more synths of SXSW in action. What better way to virtually attend the festival than with the 360 degree experience Photosynth provides? C’mon, let’s see some more synths!

Well, certainly not the judges at this years South by SouthWest Festival.

For starters, a LOT of video from the Open Space sessions has been published.  You can watch all of the sessions here – there were nearly half as many attendee-driven Open Space sessions as “regular”sessions.  One of my favorite is Carl Franklin playing acoustic guitar – and we have to give props to the guy who plugged in his electric guitar in the middle of the sandbox area and started jamming.

In addition to the Open Space sessions, videos from all 16 of the “Show Off” contestants have been uploaded.  These are some fascinating and high-quality entries; view them all here.

While it was somewhat overshadowed by the IE8 and Silverlight 2 announcements, the SQL Server Data Services (SSDS) announcement during the keynote was significant.  Many news outlets picked up the story a few days later, and we saw some comparisons to a product from Amazon.  You will definitely want to read this reply from the SSDS team: “It is simple, but it is not SimpleDB”.

Shortly after the session on MySpace API’s, Vittorio Bertocci published some information that had been missing from the session.  The team at Microsoft.com video portal demonstrated yet another Microsoft property taking a bet on Silverlight.  And Marc Schweigert facilitated a team of 11 CodePlex developers building an IntelliSense library for Virtual Earth.

Many people attended both MIX08 and SXSW, and it was fun to watch the tweets.  Particularly when Chris Wilson told the guys from Opera and Mozilla to watch sessions.visitmix.com, or when the ultimate Phizzpop design challenge took place at Maggie Mae’s.  We’re looking forward to next year, with SxSWi running from March 13-17th, and MIX09 from March 18th-20th.
