Here I am doing my demo

A live internet demonstration to my department that actually worked (mostly).

Preparing the laptop

So - here I am preparing the work Viglen Dossier to give my demo of Web 2.0 things tomorrow. My demo is to show my colleagues in Communications & Development at the University of Kent some new technologies and Web 2.0 products that might help us sell the University and might help us work better together. First thing to set up is favourites to the things I'm going to demo:

• Blogger
  http://www.blogger.com/
• My blog - Air de cour
  http://airdecour.blogspot.com/
• Wikipedia
  http://en.wikipedia.org
• Apple iTunes and Podcasts
  http://www.apple.com/itunes/
• Frappr

• Flickr

• Del.icio.us

I'm also going to use a few blogs of people I know and pop them in the nav bar of this page and use Wikipedia to explain blogging, podcasting, Web 2.0 and web feeds. IWMW 2006 tried to use loads of these things this year - I'll use that as an example of how these technologies could help us work together.

Showing people how to blog

I've foolishly offered to demonstrate blogging to my colleagues at work - the one main point I want to make is how easy it is to post without knowing any code or any specialist technology at all - fabulous. Will it catch on?

London by night (whilst on a boat and a bit drunk)

Here is my first post - a strange picture of the London Eye from a boat when a bit drunk - it was the night of my friend Sara's wedding reception on the Silver Dolphin from the Savoy Pier.
