34 in the pipe

September 13th, 2007

One of the cool things about having a Yahoo Pipe aggregating all my web output in one place is it means at the end of the day I have a nice snapshop of what I’ve done. Allowing for the fact that I changed the posting system on Created in Birmingham today I was slightly taken aback by the fact that I posted 34 different things to my various blogs yesterday. 34 seems like a lot. Was it?

    yes it is.

    Pete, did you catch the story in the Birmingham Post on Sunday about the eastside regeneration’s impact on local people? Ie, they covered the story of ‘Rosa’s Cafe’ (near millenium point), which has been served with its final orders, and will be knocked down against the owners wishes. Rosa herself comes from Italian background, is eighty, and, i would suggest, part of Birmingham’s history. I wonder what the digital media world impressions are about this?

    Yeah, I did (it was Saturday). I like Rosa’s. I tend to go there for sustenance out of choice when I’m in the area, especially when I’ve been doing a lot of arty digital media tosspot stuff. It’s a bit of an oasis in that regard.

    Be a terrible shame to see it go but, and it’s a big but, the building it’s in is a concrete eyesore, and not in the Brutalist sense. I can’t imagine anyone in their right mind thinking that should stay. I’d dearly hope the Rosa’s family could be rehoused somewhere but I fully understand the desire to tear down that building,

    If you head off into the more industrial areas of Birmingham (Aston, Erdington, etc) there are loads of cafes like Rosa’s, run by a matriarch who looks after “her boys” in the hi-viz jackets. There just aren’t any in the city centre, which always kinda bugged me until I found Rosa’s.
