ok so i've already missed out lloyd davis and glenn lesanto who are two other people that have received a cradlepoint sponsored phs300 wireless router.

so, where do i start. i've jumped three paces ahead and not even told you about the project yet. i guess i'll have to record that separately and then change the dates around. but quickly. over a year ago i was sponsored by cradlepoint to build an unofficial user group of users that would get the most out of owning a cradlepoint phs300 router. my initial idea was to find community groups in nottingham to get them connected to the internet via the use of a mobile router.

my idea was to connect italians, indians, greeks, chinese and other religions and pockets of communities that met together but were not know about in the grand scheme of things - getting local community talking to each other utilizing the web as the heavy lifting element to re-activate education and community spirit. then i got busy, really busy - my life was up and down and all around as i transitioned from one thing to another. i've been busy basically trying to find those groups.

but i found something better. people that REALLY need the device in the field to do work, engage and connect with their existing networks.. .

but through that i've found some fantastic first people to work with to build up this unofficial posterous blog for cradlepoint users. heck, we don't even have a design yet but it's going to come up the fibrecamp community projects pages (which i'm working on new show pages)

today we are going to talk to martyn sibley. i spoke to him at a recent blogging charity drive and PROMISED him a cradlepoint because i thought the wireless wheelchair hotspot and getting people to talk to each other, asking him the wireless code and just generally hooking him up to be connected. his own private wireless connection was a cool idea because he's an avid blogger and does already some amazing combinative work in his community. i want to help him with that with the help of the sponsoring of the device from cradlepoint.

this is getting to be an exciting bunch of people! :)

i have to say i was not really interested in watching the royal wedding today. i think it was more from the fact of the sheer amount of constant media output that has been happening that actually got me over saturated with constant updates.

but after getting up around 9am this morning and watching the variety of camera angles and shots that the BBC have always been fantastic at doing (there i said it) i could not help feel my british heritage and a reminder of the attention to detail we have in britain when we put our minds to it.

certainly is a packed out church today and even thou some of the royal family turned up in what looked like coaches (looked odd but sure it is a security thing) the actual event was a polished media piece like the uk can do so well.

regardless of what mine or your opinion is about royalty you cannot help but wallow in the history and ambience of the day - if marriage is the celebration of true love then so be it - i hope they have a fantastic day.

managed to capture six audioboo interviews over the last few days which i'm throwing up here so my network can see them - collecting together a bunch of audio, video and at some point textual stories in blogs from people that have grown up with fond memories of hockley as teenagers we aim to put as much context and content up around the hockley area in preparation for the baabar catwalk night.

I wanted to see exactly the expressions that ella was making when dancing about. she seems to have a gift for expression, i want to cultivate and bring that out of her. she seems naturally confident. i love this video. i hope you do too.
