    SXSW Interactive staffers were incredulous to learn that a longtime member of our community and 2012 opening keynote speaker, Baratunde Thurston has announced that he is moving on from his role at The Onion. In his own words, Thurston said, "Today, with a deep sense of nostalgia, I'm excited to move to the next chapter of that insane life having stepped down as Director of Digital to pursue more entrepreneurial ventures." We were not surprised to learn that the ever energetic Thurston will building a new company called Cultivated Wit. This is in addition to continuing to promote his book,…

The presentation started rather slowly, with businessmen coming up and reading dull corporate rah-rah reports,…
