Well, that was a good party...Simon Spanswick had just returned from the IADIS International Conferece Mobile Learning 2009 in Barcelona, where he had chaired a discussion on broadcast and mobile convergence. He brought news of the lastest mobile phones with inbuilt projectors to show powerpoint or watch movies etc.
Talk of software ranged from script programmes to ensure continuity (Dick Stevenson), Scrivener for writers (Rohan Barnett), and Freeway web software (Clive Crook), on which there is a discount for the over-60s!
Ruth and Giles Clark returned, Giles with news about his new Wave and Tidal Energy News webzine, an addition to his biofuels web journal: he is an in-demand alternative energy talking head these days, frequently popping to the BBC studios at Tunbridge Wells. Ruth got into a huddle with Zoe Meyer and hatched a project, which no doubt we will hear about in due course.
Kate Crook promised to chase up shy artists and encourage them to attend. Caroline Radula Scott said she had not heard back from David Hemmings about his Caribbean project.
At 7.48 Emma Freeman made an entrance. She photographs children, and you can see her mainly black-an-white work on her website – click on her name below right.
Another newcomer was Nick Snow, publisher and editor-in-chief of €uromedia. He lives just up the road and it's a wonder he has not dropped by before.
Thanks to all those who responded to Kate Stevens' question about work experience for her son William.
Next Groucho: Monday, March 9
