Valencia Workshop and Las Fallas
March 20th, 2006
Yes, it’s time for the inevitable “hoilday” photos of us all working really hard and some belated history of the las fallas festival which is completely insane. I don’t think there was much more than a 1 minute interval when firecrackers or fireworks weren’t going off… it feels really deadly silent back in the UK.
During the workshops I used a wiki to collect the brainstorm/discussion “topics”. Everyone round the table could add/alter my notes on-the-fly. I then used xSort to “taxonomize” these items to help me “tidy up” the wiki nodes into headers. This was sort of creating a pattern language in real time and very useful to me as a reminder of what the two days in Valencia were all about. With a memory like mine, I need that.
