[edit - if you want to buy this tshirt, email me or leave a comment and I'll let you know when it is available - expected 2 days from now]
My second day of creating something every day for a week. It looks like my rhythm is going to be - come up with an idea, develop it, then get up at 6.30 and finish it off and upload it, so everything’s shifted by a few hours.
Anyway, I’ve had this tshirt idea at the back of my mind for some time, so I thought I’d get it down in pixels.
Funnily enough, it ties in with some of the things that Pete Ashton and I have been talking about - getting Birmingham creative and cultural organisations and people to _upload their content_ and start dialogs with eachother with blogs/vlogs/flickr/tumblr/etc.
Pete’s thinking we should start organising some events where we get a number of people who know how things work in the internet(s?) to help people understand how they can use this new stuff to their advantage. Great idea - and I’ve been thinking the same for a while now.
Obvious contenders to speak to would be Audiences Central and Digital Birmingham…
Tuesday on the whole was relatively uncreative on a personal level.
UCE have taken all of their websites in-house, so as of the end of this year I’ll be taking Birmingham School of Acting and UCE Birmingham Business School off my client list for web work, which is a real shame given the hard work we put in building a very robust bespoke content management system for each.
Apparently, Sharepoint is the order of the day. Erm… I wish you well!
Other than that, it was some further development on the Jamie Oliver project and on the Marketing Birmingham Arts project which are coming along nicely, but yep - nothing to show on the blog yet.
And the presentation to AWM went well - we had the Chief Executive John Edwards, the Chairman Nick Paul, the Corporate Director Economic Regeneration Mark Pearce and Enterprise Board Chair John Crabtree round a table, with Mark Ball, Stuart Griffiths and Anita Bhalla from the BBC (and me - the youngest of the group).
Quote of the night - “We take you seriously - otherwise we wouldn’t be here.” Some positive discussions followed, some criticisms and we were given some challenges that we’re going to respond to.
A busy day, a late night - but I’m glad I managed to get this idea complete. Maybe that’s what I’ll aim for - nuggety pieces of digital content. So far so good.

Hmm.. Is the T-Shirt on Cafe Press yet?
Nice T.
I’m sure some Multipack folks would be happy to speak at events about using the Internets to your advantage. After all, there’s all kinds of potential partnerships there.
Now there’s an idea. I’m setting it up on Spreadshirt as we speak (these guys do nice vector-based printing). In the mean time, if anyone wants to buy one, just leave a comment and I’ll email you when it’s available.
Think I’ll get one for myself too…
Matt - great stuff. That sounds like a good idea…
Please put me down for one Stef. I know at least one person who would like it as a present.
I’d def like one of your t-shirts. I’ve also been thinking about a lot of the networking, knowledge sharing etc etc that the Internet offers. Perhaps a local university might be interested in partnering on a little conference type thing (although they may not be your most popular choice at the moment all things considered)…
Looks more like one for Geeklabel to me
One Trackback
[...] and Youtube etc etc. Like Pete Ashton I know these are simple powerful and inexpensive tools. Like Stefan at 3form I believe it also needs to be explained how they help create networks and relationships. [...]
