Talking museums and wikis at MW2009

December 5, 2008, 9:52 am

The full programme for the Museums and the Web 2009 conference was announced earlier this week. This means I can announce that as well as running a workshop on interaction design, I will also be presenting a paper at the conference on museums and wikis. I’m co-writing and co-presenting the paper with Rhiannon Loosely, who [...]

BathCamp reflections

September 16, 2008, 1:44 pm

I spent the weekend at BathCamp, and, well, have only just recovered. We (some museum people and I) came up with the idea of running a BathCamp over a few drinks in Montreal. Mike Ellis announced it a few weeks later, and then we spent a few months sorting out venues, sponsors, and all the [...]

The weeks ahead

I’m going to be in Paris for the next few days, taking a quick relaxing break. Then next week it’s the student radio conference at Southampton, which I’ve been helping to organise. The schedule has now (mostly) been announced, and I’m really looking forward to it. Hopefully the lineup of speakers and sessions will be [...]

The Future of Web Apps Summit

I’ve already written up a quick reaction to ‘Podcastcon’, the podcasting conference that took place on Saturday, but this is a more in-depth review of the day. I’ve already praised the conference for being very interesting and well-organised, so this entry is taking a more critical approach. 9:30am – Welcome Neil Dixon introduces the conference [...]

Podcast Con: Initial Thoughts

September 17, 2005, 10:03 pm

I went along to the podcast con[ference] today, as previously plugged. In many ways, it was a really successful conference, being really well organised, in a decent venue, with some good speakers and an interesting range of delegates. I’m not going to bother blogging my reactions to any of the individual talks just yet, thoughts [...]

Coming Soon: Podcast Con

August 23, 2005, 4:47 pm

I thought I’d just quickly give Podcast Con, a UK conference on podcasting, a quick plug, as it looks like a great event. The sign up list is a simple wiki, and it costs £30 pounds, which includes some food. Oh and it’s on Saturday 17 September in London. I’ve already signed up, in fact [...]
