When the term "slasher" first emerged to describe people who were designers/artists/consultants/photographers/you-name-it, it immediately resonated with me. Whether we call it "juggling" with "a lot of balls in the air," or "plate-spinning," or "wearing a lot of hats," many of us do a lot of things simultaneously...and always have. We just previously defined ourselves by what we got paid to do, rather than by what we passionately do. One of the reasons why I wanted to help launch @stationhouston was to allow myself and others to proudly be slashers: To solve diverse problems, create a lot of new things, and express all of who we are among like-minded people who enjoyed sharing in all of it...instead of being afraid that you were "doing too much." I look forward to meeting more slashers at #SXSW -- this is one of the best places, after all, with the convergence of Interactive, Film, Music, Education and more! -- and to sharing why Station and Houston are a great home for people like us. As Houston is the most ethnically diverse city in the country, so are Houstonians some of the most intellectually diverse people in the world. #HOUSxSW #TeamHouston #ihearthou (at SXSW)
