Alumni projects 2011 and 2012

Calling all my former students, please get in touch if you have any projects you want me to promote on my Happy Accident Blog and Facebook/ Twitter.

I know you are all busy with work etc but if I have no content then my Happy Accident Blog will be very quite.

That is all.
