As I stumbled around the streets of Austin, a girl lurched out of an RV and accosted me, insisting that I photograph her freshly acquired tattoo. Do you <3 it as much as she does?

While Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh presented his ten lessons — "don't compete on price" and "don't worry about competitors" among them — Bezos spent most of the time on his BlackBerry. Captions in the comments, please.

Sure, he missed out on TED, but that's not stopping Michael Arrington from popping up at SXSW. We got a glimpse of him when pet-repreneur Ted Rheingold bounded in as a surprise guest during Battledecks II, a sort of PowerPoint karaoke where contestants narrate zany (!) slides on the fly. Now the whole gang can play from home: Suggest your headline for this photo in the comments.

Suggest your own caption in the comments; the winner of the contest has their suggestion turned into this post's new headline. (Photo by tantek)
