Henriette Weber

Først af alt, vælger jeg at betegne nedenstående som et meget charmerende karaktertræk hos mig, evig klodset, evig komisk..

Jeg var taget hele vejen til Fields idag for at købe et STOORT lærred til et maleri jeg har lovet at lave til en veninde… så jeg tager min super micra hvor der før har været kæmpelærreder i. endda sammen med en veninde og en baby på bagsædet. MEN idag kunne jeg simpelthen ikke få det ind i bilen, ligegyldigt hvordan jeg vendte og drejede det…

Så tænkte jeg at jeg bare kunne gå op og få pengene retur… hvilket jeg prøvede.. men nej.. selvom det var 3 minutter siden jeg købte det store lærred, selvom jeg havde bon’en og selvom jeg ikke kunne komme hjem med mit lærred – så tog “søstrene Grene” ikke varer retur. så heldigvis tilbød min veninde at tage metroen hjem til hende selv ( med lærredet ) og køre ud til mig i hendes citron farvede citroen berlingo..

men helt ærligt søstrene grene ? I kunne da godt have gjort en undtagelse ? og jeg måtte ikke engang tale med chefen fordi ham kassemedarbejder svenskeren havde jo lige talt med ham i telefonen ?

så søstrene grene er hermed officielt på min boykotningsliste – sammen med matas…

så vil jeg hellere betale dobbelpris for et lærred af bedre kvalitet i Tutein og Koch..

men “typisk mig”.. suk – det er hårdt at være klodset og til grin til tider

I want to make a geekdinner in Copenhagen on the 28th of october.. I haven’t figured out where the venue is or the special guest.. nor have I set up a geek dinner wiki yet.. all to come..

OHH and if you can’t wait to sign up for partitioning.. email me at henriette at prograes.com !…

hoping to see all the danish geeks there !

Currently working on a crossborder cultural project with Jens-Christian aiming to promote common sense in technology. Putting a “right” and “wrong” to different actions one may take on the internet. SPAM would be “wrong”..

the difficulty here is maybe my own morality.. Im thinking ” who am I to tell people how not the misuse other people ( or their inbox’es or blogs)”

but I think there is a use for this.. It is going to make more people happy…

but I am doing a manifesto. I have done quite many so far, this one is really hard – because, in its essense, its a very unmanageable issue.

this is not a religion – even though it is a ruleset. it is not a movement – even though it seeks supporters.

I have never promoted anything like this, but OHH boy.. it is going to be a good ride – I can feel it..

nope I am not talking about a love declaration to blogs ( there are too many out there anyway)…

The coolest thing a man ever could do was to do a blogpost about how much he loved his spouse…

it would keep me happy and cuddly for more than a year !.. so why don’t all you geeks get started ? tell us how beautiful we are…

ohhh yeah a proposal over a blog – getting some of the a-list to blog about it.. would be great as well..

has it been done yet ? haven’t researched it… but how cool would THAT be ?

DOH!, sidste onsdag var jeg til m�de i “Mern” hos Mette Juul fra webnestor.dk sammen med 5 andre seje kvinder.
Vi har det tilf�lles at vi alle 6 er i morgendagens heltinders “shyy” gruppe, og vi allesammen har egen virksomhed.
Shyy er en gruppe der skal fungere fortroligt overfor alle vores problemstillinger som vi ikke mener at alle heltinder har brug for at vide. Om i vil, en slags bestyrelse eller sparringspartnere for ens virksomhed.

s� vi fik sparret og fik konstruktiv kritik.

Anne Ryom har et musikalsk inspirationsforl�b til virksomheder og private,
Hekla laver design og print p� genbrugst�j,
Lone de Bie designer t�j til modne kvinder,
Helle munklaver zoneterapi til private og offentlige virksomheder
Mette Juuler internet konsulent og arbejder med r�dgivning, sparring og formidling via internettet,
ogs� lille mig som der har prograes – Embassy of Creativity

s� det var en ret blandet landhandel og en masse sp�ndende tiltag blev diskuteret.. bla. fremtiden for shyy og vores st�rste udfordringer i �jeblikket.

hvordan nogen mennesker kan drive virksomhed uden netv�rk og fysiske m�der fatter jeg ikke !.. man bliver helt h�j af det.. og tak for den konstruktive kritik.. h�ber i har f�et brugt jeres kritik ogs�..

gl�der mig til vi ses igen..

my favorite Henriette has a three year old son who is really adorable, and he actually gave me some input worth blogging about..

see he is not a key speaker when it comes to my name.. so he just calls me, my boyfriend and my daughter by the name of my daugther… which really simplifies his world.. and I think it’s brilliant !..

so if you have lets say three people who are in a family and you call them “becky” because it is the name of the relation most close to you… isn’t that working in some way ? I mean can’t any of you brilliant minds out there work this out ?

if you “tag” people by the person most close to you…

Sorry I have to go and figure this one out myself.. I am confused..

Thomas and I have since the birth of our baby girl referred to her as a “toothless tiger”.. it suits her very well… because she seemed dangerous even though she didn’t have any teeth .. ( now she’s just a curly tiger, with teeth, and she bites occasionally)..

BUT Mads Christensen ( one of the it-men in danish fashion) used the term to describe a “man who has had all the guts taken out of him – by his girlfriend”… a man who is a shadow of himself in his relationship… how tragic is that ? hold on to yourself for dear life, man no matter how many women tries to alter you…

and NO I am not talking about putting the toiletseat up after use, or not doing the dishes or leaving the door open.. I am talking about men who has changed their priorities completely…

OHH yeah.. toothless tiger is also the name of our design agency when it is up and running.. the criteria for toothless tiger is : “we only design things that are cool”… sounds good ?

this one mainly goes out to the geeks… especially the technology geeks… I have been urged by Jonna to do a research of “video email technology”

as far as I can see it is a product of myvideotalk.com – to business prospects it offers a combination of the “power of tv advertising with the simplicity of emails”… I can see it differs from Skype… because the person you send the video email to don’t have to be online..

so is this a technology of tomorrow ?

please discuss…

I am currently thinking about getting a daytime job again…
but on the other hand there are some criterias for my new job ( or whatever job I will ever have).. Prograes is still going strong though, but I need some more money for the project and a way to keep it rolling is by getting me a daytime job..

but here are my professional life criterias :
1. the job should include design, technology, creativity, blogging and marketing
2. I am supposed to work in a team but I have my own responsebilities.
3. the communication level is very good.
4. I should be send off to all the cool conferences.
5. the job should not be location based, meaning I should be able to do it from all over the world.
6. the company should keep me motivated at all time and praise me when I do something cool.
7. dogs should be allowed in the office, if there is one.

I know they are kind off high… does anyone of you have any idea which job I could have ? apart from being selfemployed and do all of the above mentioned.. and ohh yeah..

let me see your list for the dream job!

I was thinking today about making a fund where I could raise money from people, so me and my boyfriend could quit our daytime job and be around our baby all the time..
it is a really bizarre idea. and it is not like we need help or are financially unable..

but think about it.. has anybody else done something like it… making a fund to make other people enjoy life…

cool.. in our example we would need 5000 dollars a month… so if 5000 of you contribute 1 dollar a month.. we could do things we would really love to do..

just kidding.. but it could work, just for the bizarreness of it all…
