So, this is a little on the late side, but who cares.. a couple of weeks ago I got on the 6:20am train to Euston and joined about 10 other people at Cafe Nero for the innaugral Blue Monster coffee morning, Steve Clayton organised it, there was a few Microsofties, Hugh Macleod and a gaggle of other random, but very interesting folks...
The coffee was good, Hugh was in fine "style" and it was good to witness..live, the actual pen-movements that created this gapingvoid cartoon... what was even better was the explanation from Hugh of the stream of consciousness that tipped him from re-hydrating to scribbling... Basically he see's the quadrants as connectivity/presence for applications that, through the day move from requiring services, access mto the "cloud", software in the browser or software on the desktop... he doesn't (i don't) and most other people didn't feel that one of the quadrants was the answer... software needs to be agile, take into consideration the where we are and what we are doing and offer the appropriate medium for us to connect or to be productive...
The morning lasted about 3 hours, the coffee was good, the conversations interesting (social media, networking, Microsoft, applications, brand, Twitter, Facebook etc) and the contacts profitable... a good morning...
See you at the next one...
