  • My todo list for Copenhagen

    Copenhagen streetlights

    Copenhagen is still a new place for me. Ive been here a dozen time throughout the years but always on short visits. Now Im living here and I want to take advantage of that. This is my list of things I want to see and do in Copenhagen before I leave again.

  • Man – Oh yeah!

    Got up at three this morning and went to Parken the national football stadium here in Copenhagen. The reason was to get tickets for the Championship League game between FCK (Football Club Copenhagen) and Manchester United.

    There were already a lot of people when we got there but there was nothing else to do than sit down and wait – and wait. Here is a picture from when the sun came up.

    They started selling the tickets at 10 and we finally got to the booth around 12. And low and behold the guys are going to the ball game :)

    Femi with the tickets - yay!


  • Metablogging – Copenhagen bloggerdinner

    Yesterday I joined a group of bloggers in Copenhagen for dinner and socializing and it turned out to be really interesting.

    The dinner started out at a bar, moved on to a restaurant and ended in an apartment. I didnt know any of them personally and I doubt any knew who I was when I showed up. I knew who most of them were because they have been active in the Danish blogosphere in general and particular in the scene of corporate blogging and social software.

    It is very interesting whats going on around blogging right now, now that it seems to seriously hit mainstream in Denmark. Blogging is not exactly new anymore but a lot of people are starting to use it professionally – and the people that were here are some of the pioneers in Denmark that try to make a living providing services in social software.

    It was a really pleasant evening with some inspirational people and meeting people in person always adds an extra dimension when you only know them from their writtings.

    I didnt get around to talk to everybody but Copenhagen is pretty small so I will probably meet them again somewhere.

    BTW – this post is my first attempt with Microsoft Live Writer and its suprisingly cool.

  • Tourist in Copenhagen

    A couple of weeks ago Alberto and Luiz visited me in Copenhagen for a couple of days. It turned out to be a beer infused trip to some of the wonderful sights in the city of Copenhagen.

    We walked, biked and sailed around Copenhagen for three days. I shot some video along the way and cut it into this 12 minute video.

    See the video at Blip.TV or Google Video.

    The places visited in the video are (inspired by Anetq):

    The track in the credits is Love Shops Copenhagen Dreaming.

    The pictures from the trip can be seen at Flickr.

     

  • Mikaels, Jens og Jokerens København

    Ja, jeg er tilbage i Danmark og er ved at have etableret mig igen, og nu fik jeg så også taget mig sammen til at skrive et indlæg her.

    Min postnummer er 2000 og det har indtil videre været en god oplevelse at flytte til hovedstaden. Jeg har meldt mig ledig og skulle gerne få dagpenge fra fra slutningen af denne måned.

    Imens jeg har været her i København har musikken især stået på Mikael Simpson, Love Shop og Jokeren – og det passer meget godt til byens stemning, sådan en sær blanding af det afslappede, poetiske og det fanden-i-voldske.

    Roskilde var sjovt, men jeg tror jeg er ved at være blive for gammel til at holde festival en hel uge – eller også var det bare fordi jeg var ved at mættet for oplevelser. I hvert fald droppede jeg det meste af søndagens program, for at tage hjem for at sove.

    Et par dage efter jeg var flyttet ind kom Alberto og Luiz fra Puerto Rico forbi, så jeg tog dem med rundt i byen og var rigtig turist. Her er lige en samling turistbilleder fra vores tur, I kender nok de fleste steder.

  • Finnish, weird and cool

    Hvad er det lige der er med finnere? Jeg fik set 22-Pistepirkko i går og det var en fin koncert, men hvorfor er finnere så sære? Nu kender jeg ikke så mange (ingen) finnere, men det finske kultur jeg lige kan komme i tanken om, Leningrad Cowboys, Aki Kaurismäki og Mummitroldene, det er da sært.

    This is a low-fi but cool fi recording.

    En Koncert-DVD fra Märkbar fik jeg købt. Lidt spændt på at se hvad den indeholder, og nu bliver jeg helt sikkert nødt til at se
