OpenCoffee

I went to OpenCoffee Leeds {Tre} yesterday to sample the coffee, cake and geeky conversation. All were excellent, although I got there a bit late and missed the best cake.

I met a lot of interesting people and collected a lot of business cards. I’m not completely sure I’d be able to match faces to cards now. Hopefully I’ll see many of them again. I tried to talk to as many people as possible, but this meant that I only talked very briefly to some people.

I also tried out my new origami business cards, which seemed to go down well. A few people suggested the excellent idea of making them a bit more interactive so I’ve created this Flickr Group for people to post pictures of their folded version of my card.

Some of the fellas who went to the Open Coffee (the Nexus guys) brought back one of those origami business to the office. It's a cracking idea. Could it be the next Moo card?

Thanks Craig. It could be the next Moo Card I guess, although if everyone had one, I'd need to think of something else to do so I'd stand out. Has anyone successfully followed the instructions yet? I think I may need to revisit them, as the current feedback is that they're a bit hard. I'm thinking of putting together a little 'how to' video.
