Ben Sauer’s Blog

So its been a while since I’ve blogged: I’ve had lots to say but not really enough time to do the articles justice. I don’t want to add to the noise that’s already out there: you’ll see from my digg article that it took me a while to process the results and write the article. I studied literary criticism at university, so I find it hard to rattle something off quickly. Perhaps I wasn’t meant to be a blogger: we’ll see how my time pans out.

However, I’m not resting on the laurels! For a while now I’ve felt that there are some developments and concepts that need explaining to people outside of the geek bubble some of us seem to live in. Its all very well discussing the next big thing on the web, but there’s been precious little effort promoting or explaining some of the things early adopters (curious geeks) already take advantage of (e.g. feeds/RSS) to everyone else.

I’ve decided to run a workshop for some of the people who I feel would benefit from this stuff on the 13th of March in Hove at The Werks. I know a lot of artists and entrepreneurs would could use a quick introduction. Please check out my upcoming event to register your interest and read a full description.

Its ultimate purpose is twofold:

• to raise their game (in whatever they’re doing)
• to improve my presentation skills

In my consulting work I’m having to present concepts more often, and I feel like this would be good practise: explaining abstract concepts about the web to regular folks!

Big thanks to James and Ian at The Werks for letting me do this.
