see this is why playing with laptops is fun!

but on a serious side they are a great tool for us to record what we think and in some cases directly from folk over here.

so more fun videos and some more journals to come…

Hey everybody,

So we have successfully registered for the conference and got our tickets for the gala dinner on Thursday night. We spent today using Stockholm excellent transportation to see around the city, highlights would include the oldest dragoon regiment in the world doing their thing with horses and music and also the Vasa museum. The Vasa is a ship that sunk in the 17th century and was raised up and restored. Twas quite the sight!

At the registration event in at the Forum in Kista we meant loads of interesting people, and found out about some cool projects like www.socialactions.com. It aggreates projects and opportunties to get involved from around the internet into a single site, perhaps a WIMPS feed might be in order. Certainly the site owner seemed interested!!

The guys will probably do a video post later but for now here are some pictures..

Hey everybody,

This will be our blog during the great Stockholm trip, Nathan, Chris and Ben will update it during the conference with impressions, thoughts and pictures.

We are finalists in the Education category of the Stockholm Challenge 08 (link) and get to take part in the Challenge Week, May 19 – 22, which include workshops, conference, exhibitions and the award celebrations in the Stockholm City Hall on the last day of the event.

Currently 20:20pm and probably should be heading to bed before the 4:00am start.
