Almost 6 months ago now, I started wireframing and mocking up designs for Birmingham Recycled not really knowing what it would lead to. Now 6 months on, the site is going really well and the last couple of days I have been exhibiting the site at the Media Exhibition ‘Blood, Sweat and Media’, where this video was the main attraction at the Birmingham Recycled stand.

June 13th, 2009JEEcamp: When Journalists get together to discuss entrepreneurship
May 10th, 2009JEEcamp is over and everyone hopefully got something useful out of the day, I know I did. The room was filled with an entrepreneurial spirit and ideas were flying around all day.

A Crash Course in Linking
March 23rd, 2009I gave a quick presentation for the reporters of Birmingham Recycled today, highlighting the importance of linking.
Doing a presentation on something like this might seem like overkill. But the more I prepared for this presentation, the more I realised how important this actually is.
