Ted Rheingold tagged me to do a 5 things you may not know about me - so here we go.

- I’m a high school dropout with no formal education. (technically probably still on leave from high school).

- I’m 29 years old and live in Copenhagen, Denmark with my girlfriend and our two kids.

- In my teens i was a hockey dj, actually the reason why my family got a real computer. DJ’ing for 1.000-2.500 people for ice hockey games - a great learning experience about the symbiosis of top-down creating a motion and the crowd self organizing chanting - finding the balance between the two, feeling the vibe of the game/augmenting the game, but not becoming the game. I still believe great hockey dj’ing is deeply underestimated .

- I ran a pirate radio station in school broadcasting 30 minutes each day with Christian Schmidt. Still one of the neatest hacks ever when we (or he?) realized that a specific old cassette player connected to the school broadcasting system meant we could broadcast from the class room to the school at large. (along the way we went a bit over the line and it got institutionalized and quickly got very boring - going to the headmasters office and putting on the tape was a different experience .

- In the months before each years reboot i have frequent night mares about all that could go wrong (apparently something many conference/festival organizers have). My most bizarre nightmare is a reboot held on a beach (!) with 500 people without having done any planning having to make it up as the day goes along…

I’m tagging Nikolaj, Pind, Hartvig, Trine-Maria and Ralf Beuker to do the same.
