About a month ago, I mentioned to my friend, Betty Toole, that I was going to Copenhagen, and she suggested that I touch base with her friend, Soren Riis, a lifetime resident of the area. Soren and I met up on Saturday, August 19, and he gave me an amazing walking tour of Copenhagen. He’s [...]
My interview with Ward Cunningham at WikiMania 2006 is now available as an MP3. Many thanks to the folks who made it available! (L4F)
(L3I) You can’t truly know another country until you know its food and its people. Thanks to Thomas Madsen Mygdal, I had a chance to do both last Friday in Copenhagen. Many thanks to all of you who came (14 in all!) and shared your stories and good vibes (and restaurant recommendations). Evan Prodromou [...]
Last Friday, mostly recovered from my jetlag, I set out to explore Copenhagen in earnest. I began my day walking up Norrebrogade towards Assitens Kirkegaard, a public cemetery and park where Soren Kierkegaard, Hans Christian Andersen, and Neils Bohr are buried. All along Norrebrogade were small ethnic shops and places to eat. (L33) I [...]

I arrived in Copenhagen today, a few hours late thanks to a caterers’ strike, which forced the plane coming to pick us up to stop first in Oslo for food. International travel never seems to be smooth, and that’s not even accounting for the terrorist scare. (L2A) The craziness started this morning (or rather, [...]
Thomas Madsen Mygdal and other good folks have very graciously organized a blogger meetup in Copenhagen this Friday at 6pm in my honor. I’m really looking forward to mind melding with some of the Danish thinkers and do’ers in this space and seeing what happens. Looks like there’s going to be a great crowd, and [...]
From Mark Szpakowski comes this wonderful quote by Otto Scharmer in Principles and Practices of Presencing for Leading Profound Change: (L23) The essence of leading profound change is about shifting the inner place from which a system operates: the source and structure of the social field — that is, the source from which our [...]
I’ll be doing an informal presentation on HyperScope at WebMonday (Silicon Valley) tonight at 6:30pm at Socialtext in Palo Alto. See the WebMonday Wiki for more information. Hope to see you there! (L22)
Esther Snyder, the founder of In-N-Out Burger, passed away last Friday. (See the Los Angeles Times obit.) For those of you who haven’t heard of In-N-Out, it’s a legendary burger joint that originated in California, but that’s now all over the western United States. I’m from Los Angeles, so In-N-Out is part of my blood [...]
