With all the twitter-ado going on these weeks I haven’t really cared much after this blog.
Well I have updated it to wordpress 2.2, which is quite something (thanks DreamHost, I <3 one-click instals ;) ).
As a nice side-effect, the layout (that also could use some love) is working again (maybe you noticed trouble with commenting from not-logged in sessions).
Enough with silly techie-details, let’s review briefly what’s going on in this finally warmer London.
Last friday I went to a dinner in fitzrovia with Stowe Boyd, Steph, Suw and some other usual suspects of the social media scene. Paolo and Monica made it too, and I was really impressed by the effort. Had a lovely mortgage-centric chat with Paolo too.
Oh and Headshift was strongly represented, with no less than a headcount of three (Lee and Lars were there too).
Sadly I had to leave soon, just to realize how much I love this people: forget about social networking, business and rumor-gathering (even if that’s obviously that’s also part of no the game)… but no matter what’s the context or topic, they can quench my thirst for challenging and witty thoughts.
Anyway, after this early appearance at the aforementioned dinner, we headed to the Kinetica museum in Spitalfields, where I joined Dave for the launch party of Sound Waves exhibition (check his review on the Londonist!)
I’ll add to that only that it was pretty cool, I enjoyed myself a lot playing with the installation, all sound and somehow interaction centric; you can check a few pictures here (sorry about the quality… I don’t have a proper camera these days).
The girl you can see in the latest picture is Olga. I met her at the first BarCampLondon, where she presented Artstrem, see here for my previous post on the subject. Now she’s launching the mobile version of the service… and was at the Kinetica to demo it. I was so happy: It’s cool to follow a friend’s project from presentation stage to live on a mobile phone near you!
