New beginnings

19th Aug 2008

As it’s been a while since my last post, now seems like a good time to remedy that situation now that I have moved.

Just over a month ago I relocated from Dundee to Burton-upon-Trent in the East Midlands.

Having previously worked in one of the UK’s most prolific new media hubs – Brighton – I was slightly disappointed by Dundee’s apparent lack of activity in this area.

Scotland in general doesn’t seem to have much web related activity in the real world outside of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Which is shame and even more surprising given that Dundee bills itself as a centre for new media activity (I guess it is in reference to Dundee’s computer game developers).

I now find myself in the Midlands, within easy of reach of Birmingham and Nottingham. I am excited at the prospect of more access to local new media events and will be interested to see what’s up and coming in the area (this reminds me to refresh my upcoming.org preferences!). If anyone knows of any interesting activities, please leave or comment or use my contact form to let me know.
