Just signed up for the picnic conference in Amsterdam the next week. This is my first time at Picnic and my hopes are really high up.

The conference features an amazing host of the best and brightest people who is thinking and tinkering with our areas of expertise – augmenting innovation, business and organizational processes by applying social and participatory digital tools.

So hopefully I’ll have time to blog some of the ideas that bubbles up from the conference. Judging from this Picnic ad I better bring a videorecorder.

Hopefully not all keynotes speakers will blow up with ideas, that’ll be kind of messy :)

Still in need of a hotel, if anyone know of a really nice hotel (price, location and comfortwise) in Amsterdam – I’ll be happy to know of it.

Pia kjærsgaards seneste forslag om at forbyde tørklæder ved lov er ganske simpelt sÃ¥ modbydeligt dumt, at det krævede en ny mulepose. Read the rest of this entry »

Forresten jeg er Nitram Bing i Second Life – beam me down, Scotty.

Samtale over aftensmaden, der drejede sig om hvad computere er gode til og ikke gode til.

Mig: “De er gode at skrive pÃ¥, fordi…”
Datteren (6 Ã¥r): “Jaaarh, men de kan ikke smøre en ostemad med honningbogstaver pÃ¥… det smager bare sÃ¥ godt… tror jeg!”

Jeg ved ikke om det kan bruges til noget. men f.eks. kunne næste version af Windovs Vista tænkes lidt mere i den retning… det ville da være lidt mere “wauuuv” end det de har disket op med.

As faithfull readers of this blog will notice, after my last design kind of deconstructed itself, I have made yet another redesign of the blog. Yes I know! Seems like all I do around here is arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic…. This time I went for at little more clean and modern look and feel. Adding also some Ajax functionality here and there, see for instance the shelf+ (in the menu). Read the rest of this entry »

The case about the Mohammed drawings obviously have gone completely astray.
No doubt about it – and it’s leaving “naive” wellmeaning folks like myself looking pretty stupid. Sure I’d stand up for the freedom to speech, but not to insult someone, and sure I can understand why muslims feel very insulted, yet the reaction is a tad over the line to say the least. In all of this it is refreshing to see Jon Stewart walking us through the problem and pariticular Stephen Colberts who offer a solution.

Above Colberts insult to the Danish people “Hamlet and HCA eating the little mermaid and The Queen getting nailed by a NORWEGIAN wiking!” – Colbert, a formidable opponent.

Dalager directed my attention to the fascinating possibility of geotagging your flickr’s(1) and pin the location via the amazing Google Maps. That had to be checked out and with a couple of greasemonkey scripts installed in Firefox, vola! I was ready to “tag” my flickr’s geographically, only to find that Google Maps are a tad outdated when it comes to the part of Copenhagen where I reside currently. The images are at least one to two years old, judging from the buildings that are missing on the satellite images – that aside it’s really interesting to overview how the area has been developed.

Moreover it’s really interesting to see this clever merging of two extremly funky technologies. And at geobloggers lat=55.660751&lon=12.570344 (latitude and longitude) or flickrcity one find the illustrious “usual suspects” of the Copenhagen blogosphere geotagging away the city.
Personally, i’m gonna start Flickring and tagging the virtual wasteland that I’m living in according to Google – updating it a little, from the ground!!

(note 1): “Flickr’s” – shared digital pictures, just like Podcasting is.. you know.. iPods.
