If you've been sleeping on The Next Web Conference 2008, it's being broadcast live in high-quality WMV and Silverlight... Just had a presentation from one of the founders of Pownce, now Netlog's developers are on (oh wait, they just finished - Lookery now) and Wakoopa are coming up soon.
Tune in live at http://www.silverlightstreaming.eu/tnwc2008 - the conference runs until the end of the 4th of April, so if you're interested in emerging web technologies and ways in which companies are transforming how we use the web on daily basis... Well, tune in!
One thing's for sure - their web site needs some better Search Engine Optimisation, because it doesn't come up at all on the front page of the web site (being largely shrouded by tech news blogs).
My name's Christopher, and this site's my venue for discussion and highlighting of topics more relevant to my technical (and technological) interests.
It appears that you're interested in newfangled thingumajigs and technological bits 'n bobs (all with a healthy dose of cynicism thrown into the mix - for the best, of course).
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one!
Hopefully this blog and its content contained herein adds some value to somebody else's day... Maybe even yours. Thanks for stopping by. :)

What else does Christopher do?
As well as this site, the most recent creation to crawl from my subconscious, I also spend my time writing on my personal blog (not always safe for work, it is very much my thoughts as they come out so beware!)
When I'm doing work proper, I'm a cross-media designer, systems analyst, solutions provider and general on-call geek for my company, based in the Birmingham area. As an aside, I also provide custom web hosting solutions for people who want a solution that's a little more personal (and cost-effective).
In the rest of my spare time, every so often I tap new entries into other sites of mine: The Uniblog, About Brum, this blog's companion Tumblog... Loads of sites!
Since moving to the fair city of Birmingham, I've increasingly found it a rich, detailed place to live, and eventually I decided to start blogging about it. Thus was born About Brum, and slowly but surely I'm chipping away at the latest development for it - podcasts highlighting one aspect of the city or the region in depth. Lots more work to do on those, but they should be great when they're finished.
Interaction is good!
