WOW – Women on their way kickoff

9.28.2005 | 0 Comments

me and Susanne at WOW kick off

Susanne Hoeck has brought together 8 years of network research and experience in a network she initiated called WOW – Women on their way . So far the danish and the norwegian WOW are open to members.
It was a buzzing kick off – with a lot of women from acknowledged companies . WOW is going to be a network of women who allready has a job – but needs a network.
I think we are going to hear more (loads more) about WOW in the different medias ( preferably also blogs).. I wonder if they are going to have one in their network ?


GMO according to politicians and corporations

9.27.2005 | 0 Comments

it seems like politicians and corporations like monsanto are the only instances who claims that GMO is not dangerous.
I remember I saw a program on BBC about GMO and it scared me breathless. there are soo many things in GMO that hasn’t been researched.
Did you know that if you used GMO to create bigger salmons – and the GMO salmons got out into the real “wilderness” the real salmons would be instinct within two years. Why ? because the female salmons is attracted to the biggest and most beautiful male salmon, meaning that the GMO salmon ( because it’s bigger and probably also shinier) would outconquor the real male salmons.

and this is just some of the points that has been researched.. I wonder where we are heading .. I am not supporting GMO ever though.


I’ll be damned!

mikronet

9.25.2005 | 0 Comments

Mikronet has ended and I am wondering if a new project I have been thinking about is going to see the dawn of day. name and content will be added to this blog later…

But Mikronet was cool, but not an eyeopener for me.
One of the reasons could be that the participants were so different. So many different companies. with the one common thing that they all were “freelancers” or “microcompanies”

I was really surprised when I met a lady there who was living on Bogø ( a little island right below Sjælland) and she actually had a Zebra called zigzag- walking around together with her horses. she wrote a childrens book about it. For sure it is going on my baby’s wishlist for christmas…
she also has kindergardens and preschool kids coming to see it all the time. I love the idea – basically because it is so different and yet so natural.


Mikronet take off

9.23.2005 | 0 Comments

this whole weekend I will be at the mikronet conference in Nykøbing Falster.. I packed my PC so I can do my mindmanager and my digital Camera is fully charged and I will take pictures of the convention and upload them to my photoblog on 23 I am not going to be able to do any podcast but Martin Thorborg is going to be streamed today at 17. And I look forward to see Abelone Glahn as well

As usually the part that I am looking most forward to, is meeting new people. maybe even likeminded!
I packed a thousand of my cards so people can see where I come from ( again it is the ones that no one can read, where the design is REALLY bad ( write and ask Dragos Novac) AND on top of that it doesn’t even state my blog URL! – I decided to bring a pantone marker ( on of the expensive ones) so I can write on the myself and be really artsy fartsy..

Tomorrow I wont attend the conference, except for in the morning – because my lovely cousin Olivia and my grandfather has a birthday.

I will be sleeping in my aunts sanctuary at Bogø. The most beautiful place in the world, and my city getaway !..

Ohh yeah.. I applied for a job at creative labs.. let’s see, I have a really good feeling about this one *s*

uhh that was an awful lot of links and information…

do geeks eat sushi ?

9.18.2005 | 1 Comment

Since I have launched a Copenhagen geek dinner , I have had many comments – some went some ” well geeks don’t eat Sushi “…

I eat sushi !

Im not a geek though, or am I ?

hmmm

let’s see when you enter ITU ( IT- University Copenhagen) with a copy of William gibson’s “Pattern Recognition” in your bag and don’t want start reading it because you might appear to geeky. Well maybe you are a geek.

anyway I don’t like to be stereotyped.

When I was 15 I was the biggest Nirvana fan on earth
When I turned 17, all that mattered to me was NIN and electronic punk
19, hmm goth period.
21, indie chick
25, übergeek/marketing/networking female with one child and a happy relationship..

let’s face it. I will never be mainstream. And maybe I am a geek.. who cares ?

rewriting prograes

9.13.2005 | 0 Comments

Prograes, as many of you now is still on the drawing board. it takes time to build the worlds first embassy of creativity.. and now the process is going to be further delayed.

why ?

because what I originally did is just not good enough anymore. my progress over the last 4 months has been really hard and eyeopening..

working with Prograes has shown me strength and weaknesses… I should be better at project control. I should push people more. otherwise it will never get done.

I am currently at some absurd crossroads… and I am going to jump. ( or take the one path or whatever)

I need to be focused and not let myself or my projects linger. I guess that’s your main challenge when you are creative and entrepreneurial. you get completely hyped over a projects and if it lingers too long you use focus and start questioning the project.

now fellas, I have work to be done.. I need to find funding and redo my project – the idea still gets me hyped and I want to see it live ( or stumble and fall) …
