I’m really into branding. I spend a lot of time wandering around the net, enjoying some of the wacky-but-somehow-appropriate names and logos people come up with for their websites, companies and projects. Usually, I can come up with pretty good names for things myself.

Butlins Tweetup June 2009

In Video on June 25, 2009 at 12:57 pm

Thanks to Paul Walsh for organising the weekend (even though he didn’t show), Kevin Dixie for playing Dad (even though he bailed early) and most importantly Sara-Jane Brown, Kalina Chin and Jae Hopkins from Butlins for showing us such a good time.

Follow @yiannopoulos and @kevindixie for information about Butlins Tweetup, Part Deux! We’ll be arranging a second trip – this time to Minehead – later in the year.
