Henriette Weber

So, last week I was invited to Finland to check out their startups and the overall techscene – also I visited the Mindtrek conference as a part of the tour. The program was packed with really cool startups, inspiration and great people (especially my tourmates who I hanged out with for 4 days where nothing short of phenomenal people)..

After arriving to Helsinki last tuesday the first company to check out was the Nokia Research Center and the Nokia Betalab where we where introduced IRL to some of their newest projects. fx Nokia Point & Find

Also the braille reader and their gaze-tracking glasses was shown to us. It was all good and well, but I felt a bit underestimated as a blogger – maybe because I thought that Nokia would use the possibility of having some of the smartest bloggers (writing for some of the biggest blogs) to show new stuff. Not that the above mentioned projects aren’t new – but they are already on the internet… (which in tech-age isn’t new)

I had done some research on both Nokia Research and Betalabs before going to Finland and all the projects that they showed to us I had already checked out prior to the visit to Nokia. It’s all good and well, but I would have used this fantastic opportunity to launch something exclusively via the bloggers who visited and make it a more underground launch. Also I had really hoped to get to toy around with some of the newest cutting edge phones…

I guess what I am saying is that I saw this as a wasted opportunity to actually reach some of the people interested in tech with something new, not by normal PR but by showing stuff to us that weren’t out there before.

However it was very inspiring to see the demo’s live and kickin – and Nokia has some of the nicest and coolest people working for them =)

So today’s stuff column is about the ladies on twitter I spend my days with =)

@loadedbow two canadian chicks arming the female entrepreneur. Wonderfulness

@mettealleslev - the wise woman – one of the greatest and kindest ladies around

@pernillerosen – she rocks my world and gives me adventure  =)

@lauramaki - documentary/social geekgirl and dear dear friend

@luisac -Crafty project manager for Signal Digital with cool hairdo

@karinhoegh - the danish podcast queen

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 !

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…

Henriette

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*

loads of things – I am working on a project together with the other Henriette.. it is going to be sooo interesting and fun I think and I am really thrilled about it.
Also me and my beau are doing a lot of idea casting back and forward – and there is so many possibilities coming up. and then off cause trying to convince people that they are missing out on something…

still I want to do the internet project on rudeness and if anybody has Thomas Madsen- Mygdal’s emailadress give me a shout ! – I have a really good idea for next reboot..

also the project on fictionary people – I want to do a blog about a complete redneck rockstar.. ( which off cause is fiction).. does anyone have a good name for such a project.

ohh yeah if I had all the money and time in the world I would go to Ladyfest Berlin – and attend the girl geek dinner in London… but let’s see…

well I kinda like the template.. but it is not quite me, but it will do so far… it is more convinient then blogger.com though.. and not as commercialised !

today my friends is a big day – thomas started blogging! ( aka. my partner in crime )
also I hope to join the girl geek dinner in london
but let’s see, money ain’t exactly flowing at the moment and off cause I have my french exam on next thursday which is occupying quite a lot of my time right now..

but wanted to spread the word about the girl geek dinner *s*
