So Igor and I headed over to beautiful CPH and spent a few days there and took a short break from day-to-day work. [...]

So here’s some of what’s been on my mind last week: # Collaboratory Prep At the Google-initated Collaboratory on internet and society where I was kindly invited as an [...]

Come party with us! (Wed, 14 April, Berlin)
Next Wednesday (14 April) we’re going to have a party in Berlin. The city will be buzzing with our favorite Berlin geek event all year, re:publica.

My Conference Wishlist 2010
A scene from reboot11. I never really met the concentrated-looking person on this super-comfy sofa, but I have fond memories of the conference. (Which felt rather like a festival anyway.) Over the last few years I attended a whole lot of conferences. Which was great fun (I mean it!), but one of my resolutions for [...]
