In the first of my video blog posts I was pretty amazed by one of the comments in particular that came back and it looks like we’ve spawned a project if I can find some people to collaborate with to make it happen (open invite).
So how about we apply some of that ‘Local Ideas Bank’ thinking to what is specifically around us right now?
There’s the Big City Plan - a chance to change the city of Birmingham over the next 25 years.
How about we use the LocalIdeas.org website to pull together ideas about how to address the themes coming through in the Plan?
Hope you’re still liking the format. This one is shorter at 7 minutes, and I’m now on Viddler because it took me 1.5 hrs to encode and upload the last one to Vimeo - this time it’s just a webcam on my balcony. And I hope the sound is improved?
