Too old to rock n roll like a techie?

Posted in faith, the web, music, Apple on September 7, 2009 at 11:28 am

Gosh, finally caught up with myself after a frantic Greenbelt weekend (http://www.greenbelt.org.uk/). Weirdly for Christian Arts Festival I usually come back with something techie to share - PowerPoint, animation, web site design are seminars / workshops I’ve been to in the past. This year that didn’t really happen - has the festival lost it’s techie edge? No, I think I’m just too far behind!

You could get program updates and all kinds of semi-official events were organised via twitter (which I don’t) and there was a really cool iPhone app with the events program on. Ideal for organising which of the numerous all at the same time events you choose to attend and all updated as any program changes happened. Well, so I heard - no iPhone, no app

Anyway I had a great time even if I do appear to be a ludite (maybe just impoverished, I mean if anyone wants to give me an iPhone and pay my contract… I might even sign up to twitter if I had a decent phone!).

As a BTW, if you half fancy the festival but the Christian bit puts you off check out

Mind you that could be a false trail laid by a raving evangelist trying to sucker you in - you can’t trust anything on the web
