Technique for Riding in a Headwind

So, what's the best technique? What I've been trying is similar to a climbing technique, high cadence, but not on the bars, but in the drops, to minimize wind resistance. I try to get as small as possible and spin.

This is better that just trying to hammer through it, especially when its about a 17 ride in a headwind. What's your technique for keeping up a good speed in a headwind?
