HAMLET IN DENMARK!

Thanks to the good folks at Innovation Lab, a Danish technology/futurist center, I'll be traveling to Denmark in a couple weeks to speak at their "Knock Knock" conference.  As their speaker bio page says, "In 2003 he proceeded to write himself into the Internet universe Second Life, where, until this February, he acted as so-called embedded journalist for the newspaper New World Notes covering the daily life in the virtual world. Gain an insight into the life and work of a virtual journalist."  According to conference director Anders Morgan, "There are still roughly 40 seats available and... the conference will be streamed live on the Internet-- so people from around the globe can follow along on at www.innovationlab.dk."  Of course, I hope to meet a few NWN readers in person there.  And maybe visit Elsinore.  (Though I know the castle's relation to Shakespeare's Hamlet is even more virtual than my avatar is to me.)

Congrats. Be sure and visit Free Town, if you are stopping in Copenhagen.

Denmark is awesome.

If you have the time and your in kopenhagen, try to visit the self-governing neighborhood "Christiania". (skip the mermaid)

Hey Hamlet, bring some warm clothes for your sensitive Californian skin and take it from a Dane that Christiania is more your kind of castle than Kronborg in Elsinore :)

Thanks for the advice! I can't wait to go.
