[...] I was chatting to a blokes at last night’s Birmingham bloggers meet who seemed to be suggesting that the university is opening up a photography gallery in Eastside (I think he even said Curzon Street Station). [...]

Gutted I couldn’t be there.

I will def try and make the social media cafe though.
Glad everyone is buzzing about last night’s meetup.

[...] Podnosh has a report on the Birmingham cafe/pubmeet, and Stuart Parker (of North Birmingham Social Enterprise) has comments on a discussion there about the government’s new vote-buying handouts initiative to spend £300-million of taxpayers money on free laptops+broadband for 7-19 year-olds whose parents are on the dole… “It’s not about the access […] I chatted with Nick Booth last night about the situation and we drew similar conclusions about what should actually be happening with that money. It should be providing training, guidance, communication, advice etc delivered by the people with the right skills and attitude […] Our project is in the throws of equipping these mentors with the kind of knowledge and skills that will benefit those excluded from the digital community. Hopefully before too long, those who make the decisions will be aware of what’s actually going on and who knows, maybe do something about it.” [...]

I’m thinking Mr Berners Lee brought us the world wide web. If you tweet @thericeshow they can either justify or correct.

I’ll try and get a few more images on the site. I didn’t capture too many people though, just the rice. Got a few shots in the dark in the basement. I posted them on the facebook page.

Shameless plug —> http://www.scphoto.co.uk/pages/galleries/projects/riceshow.html

Apologies for it’s slow upload, one day I’ll use a proper host instead of my home broadband.

Anyway, glad I turned up. And nice to see/meet a number of the faces I’ve read about.

Also really enjoyed the exhibition, I actually thought I’d missed it. I do fancy going along again with my tripod to get more images.

Louis Hudson and Ian Ravenscroft of Dice Productions came down too.

Agree it was a particularly good meet-up. I might even put down some thoughts of my own at some point.
