FACEBOOK feeling

Tomorrow SPIRE people have a seminar, and members of the SPIRE facebook group will know what it is about :-) 

A couple of weeks ago I was washing the dishes while having my computer open on Facebook, and I felt like writing in the field 'Ellen is ..' but not about dishwashing. The snow had been falling all evening, and I got an urge to write 'Ellen is walking in the snow with bare feet' - just to realize that I could not write that without actually having done so - Hence, for the first time in my life I went out on the lawn barefooted in the dark. It felt not nice, not bad, vaguely strange, though, and I returned quickly, but taken on my woolen socks afterwards felt SO good.
To those who think facebook is too virtual - NO!

TO KNOW WHERE YOU WANT TO GO DOES NOT PREVENT YOU FROM ENDING UP SOMEWHERE ELSE

Driving from Berlin to Sønderborg without map/tomtom/phone/ brought me to a village called Zabel, and three nice citizens  cheered me and lead me back on track - Hannes Wader's  'Wieder Unterwegs'-epos came to mind.
Monday the UCD-students start their work on usability-evaluating the SparOmeter, and I look forward to the information and the ideas, we can give back to SYDenergi and project Zero.
Wednesday is the official enauguration of the SPIRE Center - the program is great with DACAPO theater and Base of the Pyramid-seminar in the morning, and in the end the studio-housewarming presentations, all under the auxspicies of participatory innovation.
