I guess this urge to express myself on line came about around Reboot-time last year. Mygdal – my former boss and current best friend – kept asking me why Ragegirl didn’t have her own site. (got the nickname Ragegirl after bonding with beautiful Christopher Locke aka (http://www.rageboy.com/) Rageboy).

Well I guess I really wanted to do this – but wouldn’t it be rather self centred to have a site if I didn’t have anything big and important to share with the world? This thought kept me from doing my own site. But then a few weeks ago the whole round-pool-hash-cookie-thing began and despite of low self esteem about what I have to share, it changed my perspective.

Things started happening when I decided to join the fun helping out with reboot once again as speaker hostess.

(http://www.reboot.dk) Reboot – a big IT-conference if anyone doesn’t know - was on Wednesday the 23rd but the first speaker arrived on the Saturday before and the last left the following Saturday so it was a whole week of reboot hostessing. But what a week. (http://www.reboot.dk/speakers/) The speakers this year were Mark Hurst, Evan Williams (and girlfriend Cammi), Dave Gray, Dave Winer, Douglas Ruskoff and notorious Justin Hall. They all turned out to be great people and everyone seemed to like each other very much so we had a fantastic time. As always reboot was a great experience for everyone. The topic was web-logs and as the day passed I got more and more excited about the whole idea. The following day most of us had a slight hangover (OK – I admit – all I wanted to do for the first few hours was hurl and sleep somewhere very, very cold) but we decided to make a whole day of it anyway.

We started with a chilly brunch on the lake and then we vent on a spa-adventure in DGI city. It’s funny how you forget your age and dignity when you jump into a pool with lots of floating toys. We fought and laughed and burned away all hangover residue.

While we were playing in the pool the sun came out so when we finally got tired of all the liquid fun we walked by the beautiful waterfront all the way to Christiania. The most daring among our little group ate a bunch of hash-cookies and we all quenched our thirst in cold beer and lots of water. When the cookies started kicking in we decided to walk around the surreal beautiful lake of Christiania. What a walk. The conversation was mind expanding, and very much evolved around the blogger/web-log concept. I don’t think the wonder cookies had so much to do with the extraordinarily interesting conversation. It seemed it was the common love for the work these people are doing, which ignited the wonderful mind-fucking on this memorable walk. A naked hippie looking angrily at us through a window when walked by his house and a little kid who jumped out on the road and splashed us with his water-pump-gun only added spice to the magical mood.

We ended up at BaseCamp where we had dinner and from there everybody went tired back to the hotel. Some of these guys I’ll probably never see again – but I don’t think I’ll forget this day soon. Dave Wine said he'll be back soon though.

A couple of days later Mygdal, a couple of our friends, Douglas Ruskoff and I had dinner a (http://www.zeleste.dk/engelsk/index1.htm) Zeleste. Mygdal once again asked me when I would get my own web-log. I told him and Douglas about my concern that I wouldn’t have anything very important to write about. But Douglas urged me on. He told me that I should call my site NannaManna. My words would be like the biblical manna that falls from the sky to the hungry people. A few days later I got a mail from Mygdal. He told me he signed me up at Blogger and got me nannamanna.org.

So here I am. Writing my own blog. I’m not sure anyone will perceive my words as manna falling from the sky, but it’s a great experiment and I’m having fun.

Thank you Mygdal!
