As a result he has brought together the website ‘New Media Junkie’ which is the home of collective thoughts, silly bollocks and generally interesting emails that are circulating at the time. Mark is a big fan of radio and ever since he was a young lad he has had high aspirations of becoming a radio disc jockey. Unfortunately he is condemned to a life of developing websites. We both must have done something hideously awful in a previous life to have not only been lumped together but to be thrown into such a frustrating sport as hunt the error message problem. Fix the bloody CSS issue in Safari or dream-crusher (Marks’ fond name for FireFox) is another we while away the hours together to. As a creative outlet, the brand spanking NMJ podcast has been born. What a little cracker it is, I have almost forgiven Mark for erasing material we had recorded for the first episode. Mark is however still chastising himself. Nonetheless, Mark has pulled together a cracker of an introduction of what he has to offer. I will however be featuring on the next episode and hopefully (if he will have me) make this a regular occurrence.

I don’t want to spoil it for you by detailing everything in the podcast but just as a quick teaser it features two of our mates, Dave North and Deborah Bailey talking about some of the strange things happening in this week’s news. “Birmingham: It’s not shit” owner, Jon Bounds has a featured slot and Mark plays a game of dead or alive on the streets of Birmingham.

Get yourselves over to New Media Junkie and subscribe to this light-hearted and comical podcast, I know it is going to grow from strength to strength with Marks’ ambition and drive.

I was very lucky to get a sneak preview at The Birmingham Bloggers Meetup a week or so a go. The idea is to make a big picture of the West Midlands in 2008. There will be a World Record attempt to gather as many photos together as possible into a huge montage. The website makes clever use of the Flickr API. Simply login with your Flickr account details or create a new account from the In The Big Picture website to take part.
