		<title>A year ago this month&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While reading Phil Thompson&#8217;s post &#8216;Andy Budd ruined my life&#8216;, remembered I&#8217;d done an interview piece with him a year ago about speaking at events.  It&#8217;s great for me to able to reflect on this and remind myself how much things have changed since then!  I&#8217;ve become a full-time freelancer, been to many more events and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Speak the Web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m really pleased that on Monday Rich Clark and I are launching our own take on web conferences, &#8216;Speak the Web&#8217;.  We&#8217;re covering four cities and have drafted in some great names to speak.  Check out http://speaktheweb.org
Rich and I had been talking for a while about doing some kind of conference or event, some ideas [...]]]></description>

		<title>A few thoughts about traditional media&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve loved the internet since my first experience with it back in &#8216;96 when I was at college and we&#8217;d rack up huge bills talking to Canadian&#8217;s about the weather over Compuserve at £3 a minute.  The dawn of a new age!  One thing that has struck me since that time is watching the process [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Speaking Game &#8211; Part One &#8211; Web Developers Conference 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So yesterday was my first proper speaking engagement, down in Bristol at the Web Developers Conference.  I was lucky enough to be on a panel there last year and was very fortunate to return with my own slot this time around.  Like anything new, getting out of your comfort zone, it was a little daunting.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time for a change&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hold my hands up and admit I&#8217;ve not updated this blog in a while.  There are good reasons however!  First of all, there&#8217;s the balance between micro-blogging through Twiter and a conventional blog &#8211; I&#8217;ve been avidly updating through Twitter and not taking the time to actually write full blog posts abotu many of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let&#8217;s be &#8216;friends&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my (many) pet peeves about social networking is the way that relationships are modelled.  I actually went into this on my first presentation I&#8217;ve done, down at BarCampBrighton3: The Evolution of the Social Web.  We humans are complex entities; in many ways our relationships are so elastic and contextual that we can&#8217;t realistically [...]]]></description>

		<title>BarCampLiverpool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A week after the one in Sheffield, I&#8217;m at Liverpool&#8217;s first BarCamp, this one sold out/released all 200 tickets they had available, held at the Novas Contemporary Urban Centre.  It&#8217;s a great venue, which is a quite recent addition although I&#8217;d lived in Liverpool for years had never really noticed the building &#8211; a massive [...]]]></description>

Now I&#8217;m armed with my MacBook, I&#8217;m having a go at logging during the weekend so I can try and capture more of the thoughts that go off from various sessions.  Might be interesting for me to look back over and see a difference in writing style too.
2pm Saturday
So after a cold, frosty, foggy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Web Developers Conference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I went down to Bristol to sit on a panel at the Web Developers Conference, which is mainly aimed at university students that have an interest in getting into the web industry.  It was a really good idea that Alex (and Dan) started last year &#8211; to bring the industry to the students so [...]]]></description>
