Thanks to Cathy for writing up BarCamp North East (and the link was nice). The event was also written up for the business section of Newcastle newspaper The Journal. See photos of dead tree edition - 1, 2, 3.

I spoke on Tuesday at the Microformats vEvent, along with Dan Brickley. I spoke for just over half an hour (with questions) on the topic of GRDDL, a great Semantic Web technology that you can and should be using now. I will be pushing the slides out this weekend. I may be giving a repeat performance at BarCampLondon4, so if you missed it on Tuesday, you can get it this weekend instead.

I'll be at Geek Dinner this evening (although I'll be unencumbered by laptop, and probably won't be reading Twitter or FriendFeed). Hope everyone is having fun at @Media (a name that seems purposefully designed to break Twitter's reply feature).
