Coffee Morn 210308:

Coffee Morn attendance today was small, but perfectly formed.

After discussing open source vs. custom built blog tools with Nev, mp3 enabled iPhones, and me having my customary contradictory rant about the irritations and delights of Twitter, we moved onto some stuff that was much more interesting.

Film-maker Tim Maguire, brought us up to speed on the latest developments on his "Authors Movies' series, and let us in on some absolutely killer thinking on the social media development of the idea, including a great domain name. (That's about as detailed as I can get for now, but Tim promises to give us an exclusive insight when the concept is about to go live.)

You may recall I wrote about Tim's promo for Bill's new book, and his film about Scottish football fans reading poetry.

Also at Coffee Morn today was Darcie Condie.

Copywriter, Art Director, with a degree in Photography, she even baked delicious Easter Friday Cup Cakes to bring along. (Mmmm, I think hate her, she's too accomplished by far ;-)

To be serious for a moment, it's great having young creatives like her at Coffee Morn, I wish more came.

Because, (going back to being silly again), it allows me, as an 'elder-statesman', to pontificate at great length about everything from how too many advertising agencies are getting online all wrong, how unbelievably accomplished and self-effacing I am at, (oh, you name it, the list is endless); cooking, interviewing people, photography, social media, technology, sport, writing and doing the football pools.

Poor girl couldn't get a word in. Nor Tim. (Which is really saying something.)

Oh I do so love our weekly Coffee Morn, I'm brilliant.
