Barcamp Leeds
I nipped over to Barcamp Leeds on Saturday at the Old Broadcasting House. Was good to hook up with some old friends and faces - especially Ian, Paul and Dean. Only stayed for a few hours, but it had a good laid-back atmosphere and, more importantly, a packed schedule of speakers. Well done to Imran, Linda et al for sorting it out. Hope Sunday went just as well.
PS the rather crap photo shows John Leach reciting a Wikipedia entry on a ukelele, as an example of the type of content to be found at Ukepedia.com which is, er... a site showcasing Wikipedia articles performed on the Ukelele. Someone asked the question 'why?' To which John replied 'do I really need to answer that?' No one pressed him further but in my head I thought not just 'why' but also 'WTF?' Still, it was quite funny.

Chinwag Live
I've been invited to speak at the forthcoming Chinwag Live event, discussing how the growth of widgets, mashups and deportalisation will impact on the online media landscape. I'm particularly interested in hearing George Berkowski's plans for BT Contact, and speaking with Steve Bowbrick again - who I last met when spinning a few tunes on the decks at Webmedia one afternoon, many moons ago.
