A Geek’s 4.5 Days in Perth – Part Deux

By Nick Hodge | August 16, 2007

Spent yesterday at Silicon Beach House:

Interviews with Bronwen of PerthNorg and Richard of Scouta coming soon.

Scoped out more of the cosmopolitan area of Perth around King Street and found a hobby store and sci-fi book store. Geek-out!

Wedneday night: WebJam! Myles' vector text and Gary's Web 3.0 received my votes.

The 70+ people who attended WebJam saw 14 presenters go-orf! Good rollickin' night. Go Perth.

LOLCODE went down a treat. One day I might have to evangelise Microsoft products. Nahhh, we've got smarter people doing that.
