I was wondering if there were anybody out there that would help me ( volunterily) to get the design of Prograes up and running ? the coding is almost done, and I need bits and pieces… preferably from different designers..

I can’t promise you much except that it will be the best reference in the book…

Walking to my meeting with Hekla of trashprint through a part of Copenhagen really got me thinking. Hell, I am never going to move back to the center of Copenhagen , suburbia is much to cozy for me… Copenhagen has become a melting pot of “hip”… which is very nice, but when you got a little girl it is much to expensive and has a real lack of nature – and a lot of cars…

I can breathe where we live now, still only 20 minutes from the center of Copenhagen by car, and we got so much more space..

Trashprint is very upcoming – so look out… Hekla is a real ambitious, creative and relaxed woman, with tons of ideas. All of them appealed to me – especially I am looking forward to read her book once it is published… we talked about blogs and Wiki’s and creativity and Prograes… she thought it was really geeky of me and my beau to have a wiki with all our ideas… which makes me smile as I write it.

Also I have been playing around with the idea of a movable office.. what I need is a lot of caf�s in Copenhagen to have WIFI access and I could work from there… I don’t have to pay for an office because it is movable and in my laptop..

I urged AOK ( all about Copenhagen) to find these caf�’s for me… it would be brilliant and real inspirational until I can afford my dream office myself .. wonder why no one has come up with that idea in Copenhagen yet?

in the middle east.. I must say he is one of the coolest artists in the 21st century – He moved me when I lived in London especially his giant paintings on brick lane, passing them everyday to work made me smile ( and still does when I am around)… but what he has done to this wall is truly amazing.. may it help the people in Israel and Palestina to join in peace…

I don’t like being categorized, but hey it might work for somebody..

my being a good blogger manifesto consists of two words ” be yourself ”

Blogging is about sharing the things you like , and adding questions.. – I think you should copy all the thoughts that makes you freeze.. and spread them..

blogging is about people and making people happier..

actually Blogging is about higher selfesteem on some level. it has hightened mine for sure!

as usual on my morning run around the forest – I started thinking. I have been trying 43things.com because it’s shows what genuine desires people has. there were so many people in there that wanted to do music or write a book. “be more creative”..

I want to be more creative too ! even though I run an embassy of Creativity there are so many creative things I want to do…

my question is just why?

why do people want to be more creative ?

why is there so many people out there who wants to write a book ?

I want to write a book too, but when I stop and think about it I can’t really be bothered.. I think that if you want to write a book, you need
1. a hell of a mindset to keep you going after the first 30 pages.
2. a sincere devotion that this is want you want to do

- this is really tough !… add to that if you want your book to get notised, it is even more hard work… you really have to have a good publisher who will publish your book and – make it famous.

I don’t really think that a lot of people out there are going to be able to find a niche as cool as J.K. Rowling or Dan Gillmore.. I even heard that there were publishers that wouldn’t publish John Grishams first book !

maybe it is the creative lifestyle that is so appealing ? does anyone of you ( dear readers) think about the creative things you do everyday ?

I have been doing some thinking again – it sprung from my danish women network where some of the members are real busy telling the network when they are in danish magazines. Frankly I am so very tired about these really cool women, displayed by the media, the way the media wants to display them. so the “old” media – such as newspapers, magazines, tv etc etc – they ask you questions.. you answer. they control the conversation…

they have the power – they ask the questions. they “scope” the interview or article or whatever.. anyway..

new media – whether it is wiki’s, blogs, podcasting or whatever puts you in charge !
you do the thinking – you scope the questions, you put out there what you genuinely want out there… and your customers ( and fellow networkers ) will answer – read you, know you !

you will be more reliable than you could ever be in the normal media.

you will be more visible…

remember: you only get what you put out there .. if you don’t ask the questions you really wont get the answers….

well I didn”t pass my french exam… it sucks big time.. every test out there says I am excellent at french. but my teachers say they don’t understand me…

and I really thought the exam went fine.. honestly I did.

So one has to wonder if I am doing the right thing? am I in the right education ? hell yeah !… I just have to learn how to speak french and every error needs to be corrected..

everybody is urging me to start doing design or fashion or something.. which I am not really interested in because it is so incredibly mainstream… and if there’s something I don’t catagorize my self as, then it is mainstream..

everyone I have met think I would be a good designer.. but hell, I like people, and I like design..

I like the business school and I do fine in all the other classes – or more then fine… but in french I completely and utterly fail…

so why am I still at the business school ? Maybe I should start at the ITU of copenhagen instead

I am so confused.

what do you guys think I am good at ?

anyway I will carry on my french classes, it’s really a challenge for me by now .. I want to succeed…

I hereby invite everyone of you to my housewarming !.. it is taking place on the 26th of August in my home..

write me at henriette@prograes.com for more details ! – ohh yeah I live near Copenhagen… *s*
