Perth that happening digital city

Some of know that Perth has very act­ive digital com­munity, we beat Sydney 2 to 1 in vot­ing for the inaug­ural Pod­Camp Aus­tralia. How­ever, the first week of Decem­ber looks like it will outdo any­thing that has happened here in the past. With:

The ByteMe Fest­ival — a true fest­ival of digital content.

Massive — a big party with over 500 geeks who work, live or play (or usu­ally all three) in the digital world.

Web­Jam — well one of those all comers 3 minute stand-up present­a­tions of all things web, with idol style vot­ing is rumoured to be occur­ring that week.

Port80 — we can not let the first Wed­nes­day of any month go by with out a quiet drink and chat about all things web can we.

And some­thing called Graph­ite 2007 which is why Massive is on a Tues­day this year.

It is going to be an inter­est­ing and prob­ably tir­ing week, but I am look­ing for­ward to it.

    Hey Nick — thx for this post — guess, what — I’m going to come over for a couple of days just for the hell of it — was think­ing I’d like to check out that Live Cinema event at Byte Me, and maybe stick around for a couple of days and go to Perth Massive. Any­way, have just booked a flight, so hope­fully catch up then.

    […] I def­in­itely wanted to get back and check out the city a bit more, but hadn’t thought the oppor­tun­ity would present itself so soon. Then via Nick Cowie’s blog, I read about Byte Me! — a very cool look­ing fest­ival of digital con­tent hap­pen­ing in Perth from Decem­ber 2–9. I’m always inter­ested in art on the digital fron­ti­ers, and have been think­ing a bit about the inter­sec­tion of what we still call “new media” (though that term always gives me a wry grin) and what we in the web world call Web 2.0. And I’m an impuls­ive per­son, so I booked a flight. […]
