Last night’s web industry social event Second Wednesday was the busiest ever with 26 Nottingham web geeks nestled into our new venue at the Broadway media centre Mezz bar. Derek O’Brien gave a great talk about HTML5, CSS3 – what it is, how it works and where we can use it (slides and source files here). Broadway don’t offer Erdinger, so Staropramen may well become the new Official Beer of Second Wednesday 🙂

We also discussed potential hash tags for Twitter and #2w is looking favourite so far. Our account is http://twitter.com/secondwednesday. The new Second Wednesday website is now live too at http://www.secondwednesday.org.uk/

Join us next month for a talk by Alexia Leachman on personal branding and clearing your “Head Trash”!
