Its been difficult finding time to blog from Denmark since there is just so much to do! The NextLibrary unconference starts tomorrow. Here’s a couple of brief observations.

First, I’m headed to the Hjørring Bibliotek in about an hour. Check out a timelapse youtube video of this place getting set up, and you’ll see why I’m so excited to go!

Also I thought people back in the USA might be interested to learn about “Hyves” the European social networking site. I just joined. I have no friends yet, so friend me! At a glance, it looks more like MySpace than anything else, but I look forward to playing with it more. One of the things that drove me to experiment: I’m locked out of Facebook on my laptop! Facebook seems to be detecting that I’m far from home and they sense something fishy, so I’m stuck! Whats funny is that it works fine on my iPhone. Twitter is the other way around- I can’t get Twitterific, my client of choice, to work right here. On the laptop its fine.

More later- I’m off to see a great library!

  • Again Nate, I’m stoked about the fact that you posted my timelapse. It’s a bit old though so I’m working on a newer version. Or perhaps something brand new. Been experimenting with attaching a camera to an old rollerblade. I’ll give you a heads up when it’s done.
