I'm writing this on a train ride to Florence from Rome where we've just had a beautiful vacation for the weekend that I'll write about...after this. We visited Canada for a quick 10 days but well worth it considering the visit to family and friends in the beautiful Vancouver summer. We started out after a relatively painfree flight by going home and having a great night of sushi and gyoza, fulfilling the tradition to have sushi as soon as we get home. It was nice because we got to eat at home and go to bed straight away afterwards which was [View Full Entry]

I actually have to go through my facebook photos to remember what the heck I've been doing for the past two months. Okay albums are: Cocktail party, June Random, Midsummer, and July So Far... so there we have it. We came back from Vegas and Tenerife, moved in, had a fantastic cocktail party with all our friends and a lot of homemade high style sushi, an then got settled into summer. I mean, I do recall laying on the boat two days and getting a suntan. I do recall going swimming in the harbor twice and watching people swim about ten [View Full Entry]

I wanted to wait a bit to write the next one since I thought putting one after the other (Scotland, then Tenerife/Vegas) would be too much to read but of course, that ended up being ridiculous since now its a month later and I finally have one morning to write!!! We had one week of chaos between Scotland and Tenerife. We left for Tenerife, desperate for a vacation and ensured that our three days there were beautiful and relaxed. Our original plan was to be there for 7 days of pure beach bliss but in Scotland we got an email from [View Full Entry]

As I write this, I'm in the air to Tenerife but let's start with last week. We went to Scotland, Dundee in particular to the HCIED 2009 conference. This is the same conference I went to last year in Rome, and is comprised of the educators of HCI so its a very interesting conference with a lot of people who are passionate about pushing HCI forward and exploring how it can be taught. Dzl and I were going to teach a workshop. It was our first conference workshop and hopefully, the first of many. We had five workshop participants, all of [View Full Entry]

So the time has finally come. I finished the last sentences of my thesis and felt like I could breathe for the first time in a long time. There's still loads of editing to do but at least its written. That was Sunday. Thursday I found out I was getting a Visa to Denmark to live and work here for at least a year, at which point I must renew. By the following Tuesday I had a social security number, health care, a bank account and a stamp in my passport. Wednesday was my first day of work at my new [View Full Entry]

Hmmm I wrote a huge entry here about my travels at Christmas and now its gone, I can't seem to find it anywhere and that makes me a bit sad. In short, I went to Canada and visited my family and friends for Christmas, which was great, I loved being home at Christmas time! I came back (home) to Scandinavia and immediately headed off to Madrid and Leon in Spain for an installation that Dzl was working on. We had a great time there, found an authentic tapas bar playing spanish bagpipes and had a big culture shock at another restaurant. [View Full Entry]

No exciting trips abroad this time, unless you count the daily cross country tour to get to work. The trains here have an interesting game they like to play with me, its called, go, go, stop. Canceled, delayed, move you confidently forward one stop, then canceled. Its all a head game and one has to outsmart them to survive. Find a job which is awesome, and doesn't mind when you come in and lets you work evenings when you need to, and weekends, or one that feeds you after you've spent two hours commuting, or one that regularly has great events [View Full Entry]

Before I start, I was just SO inspired by this guy's blog: http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/aspiringnomad/ check it out - he and his wife and now their new baby, have been everywhere and seen everything. Its incredible. Soooo let's see, its not been HORRIBLY long - just...over a month. :) Since Berlin, which was a great trip again, this time with Dzl so it was fun to go around to all the cafes with him, and check out a few new ones that Mads had found with his friend there. We went out on a couple all-nighters which was great, and considering the trip [View Full Entry]

Its been a looong time since I updated this. The short version. Half Machine was getting ready for Roskilde festival, I finished school (with an A on the last project no less) and went to Canada for thre weeks. Visited family and friends, went to Vegas with my mom, won at the PENNY slots, haha, and had a great time in both Canada and Vegas. Came back home to Denmark, spent a day with my then-very-new boyriend, and had a job interviw the next day, (didn't work out, but proves that I should not work for evil empires) next up, Roskilde [View Full Entry]

Let’s see how to explain this, my month of May was so busy that I actually didn’t write a thing, this is a problem since SO MUCH happened. :) 1)Submarine Party: http://halfmachine.dk/posts/158 We launched the world’s largest privately built submarine, the UC3 Nautilus, it was an inspiring and beautiful day followed by a perfect and fun party at the MS Half Machine. People were wearing sailor outfits, we had dancers, musicians, fantastic DJs, people doing visuals, composers (Andreas & Toby) prepared a theme song for the launch, and the press went INSANE with it which was [View Full Entry]
