And now for something even more awesome (and probably never been done before): Flex Mathews and Kosha Dillz freestyle… for Answers.com.

These two rocked the house during the Q&A at the end of the Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) presentation at SXSW. No end to the verbal creativity here, people. Or should I say… peeps.

Last chance to make a grab for Answers.com at SXSW… Shaya’s even got it all set up so nice… Tweet @ pickleshy and get your share of…

Putty pyramid…

“I’ve Got All The Answers” t-shirts…

Or, um… what?!

That’s right. Answers.com not only prevents forest fires (or something) but we saved blogger/writer/idea machine Scott Stead’s life with our information on breathing fire and building flamethrowers (that’s right). Scott was going to attempt the feats and decided his ’sticky bits’ weren’t worth torching after reading up on the art on Answers.com.

Here he tells his not-so-fiery tale to Shaya at SXSW:

Jeff Jarvis, blogger at BuzzMachine and a whole lot more, talks to Answers.com about content at SXSW Interactive about where WikiAnswers fits in the content farm discussion.

Here’s the direct link, too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, Jeff!

Can I get a “Helloooo Austin, Texas!”

Our very own Shaya (@pickleshy) is running around SXSW Interactive with tons of Answers.com gear to giveaway. If you’ve been answering @Answersdotcom’s tweets and getting prizes for it, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t been - well, only 2.5 days left!

Shaya reported a bit on what she’s seeing and hearing at SXSW and here are a few snapshots to piece together… Oh, and the following statement that Shaya will have to explain at some point:

“Crowdsurfing sheep, flame-throwing buses, robots that play music, random random random (and ppl who call it stochasticity). Nearly saw a terrible rehashing of the super bowl Janet Jackson event during a slightly slutty soul sistas karaoke performance.”

Bag o’ giveaways in transit to Austin, Texas.

Getting the interactive on.

Lego A-burst!

Moose dude.

Sticker makes its mark.

The one and only Shaya!

Stay tuned for more tales from Texas later this week…

Today is March 14th and you know what that means…

Oh, you don’t? March 14th is chock full of pure awesome, from famous birthdays, quirky holidays and most of all, the best pastry of all time.

Fourteen Awesome Things About March 14th.

1. Albert Einstein, the cuddliest scientist ever, was born.
   In ‘theory’, I imagine that some of Einstein’s ‘relatives’ forgot his birthday from time to time.
2. Happy birthday, Billy Crystal!
   No less important - ok, somewhat less important - actor Billy Crystal was also born on this date.
3. Daylight savings time begins.
   Ready to spring ahead, northern hemisphere? Time to turn back time.
4. International Ask a Question Day.
   Must have something to do with #1 - without Albie, there might be a lot less high school physics students cramming questions before finals.
5. Mothering Sunday.
   AKA, Mother’s Day in England. Don’t they make it sound so warm and cozy?
6. Moth-ER Day.
   Mothers are important, yadda yadda. But what about moth collectors?
7. Bretzelsonndeg.
   Some kind of Luxembourg Valentine’s Day involving young boys and pretzels.
8. Celebrate agriculture!
   Somewhere out there, a farmer is taking a quick break to celebrate.
9. National Animal Poison Prevention Week.
   You have a week to keep your pets from getting poisoned, people.
10. Feast with St. Mathilda.
    Wait your turn, St. Patrick - Mathilda has a feast today and you gotta wait your turn.
11. ‘10 Most Wanted Fugitives’ lists made their debut.
    And without that, where would that awe-inspiring TV show have come from?
12. Check Your Batteries Day!
    Good call, my laptop might have died before I finished this post.
13. Happy Pi Day!
    3.14159265358979323846264338327950288…
14. Pie. Just pie.
    Seriously, best. baked good. ever. Any day of the year.
