Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

WCU07 had teams from a lot of different countries and for the first time in WCU’s history there were also a team from Lithuania - Discoholics from Vilnius.

I’m not sure I’m a big fan of their pink/read shirts, but they were cool guys these Discoholics…

More than 140 Ultimate matches at Wonderfull Copenhagen Ultimate 2007

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

I dont know where to start in describing Wonderfull Copenhagen Ultimate 2007 - WCU07 had more than 140 Ultimate matches, more than 650 players, 28 Open teams, 14 womens team and I got a ton of photo’s (but not that many pictures from the matches… my pictures are more about all the stuff around the matches), so this will for sure be a lot of blogging from different angels over the next weeks.. ;-)
And I also should remember to blog a bit about my nice Thailand vacation…

And with some many matches WCU07 had teams playing on 9-11 fields all the time…

WCU07 tournament setup and the TD.I.L.F

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

Thursday at 15.00 was the time for the first match, so the WCU07 crew was working from early Tuesday to arranging the WCU-city, the pitches and all the logistics…
When it comes to all the matches Mattias ‘TD.I.L.F’ was the ‘mastermind’ with his humble servants Bo and I… and all the people helping us to to make the matches and results running… THANX guys.

And watch the TD.I.L.F (self acclaimed..) - if he wasnt in control he certainly looks like a man in control!

New website for Copenhagen Malt Whisky Tasting Society

Monday, May 7th, 2007

It has for a very long time been a thorn in my eye to look at the website for Copenhagen Malt Whisky Tasting Society (CMWTS, www.cmwts.dk) - the great Malt Whisky Club that I have been a member of for more than 8 years and it have had the same ugly version 1 website with animated gif’s and no news at all… yeah, its not a pretty sight..

Old CMWTS site

(its a pitty that you cant see the animated glass… ;-) )

But now CMWTS has finally got a new one… yes, I did have something to do with it…
We decided to go for a blog-style website and that is really an improvement in the design and the site-administration - it was rather difficult just to write an article in the old one… I certainly do think (and hope) that this blog-styled CMWTS.dk will give the club a more dynamic website… feel free to write in there

Boo is back!

Monday, May 7th, 2007

But this time Boo.com is not about fancy designer clothes presented in 3D by an avatar and with a FORTUNE spend on development, a private jet, huge parties and Gurkha guards…. this time Boo.com is about travel and Boo.com is a travel site based on web 2.0’s user participation in another combination….

Great sun for WCU07

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

It seems like getting more than 650 of the best Ultimate players to Copenhagen is not enough - the spring (and more) has certainly also joint WCU07, now upgraded (again this year) with a great sunshine and certainly some of the best Ultimate matches on European ground - really great to be there!

Time for Ultimate!

Friday, May 4th, 2007

Yeah, now its time for the best Ultimate in Europe and I’m so much looking forward to see all these people running, catching and diving for that Frisbee… to just get that important point… I just love to see that Frisbee in the air!
And I guess you might call me a dog for a Frisbee (or disc of any kind), if I see a Frisbee in the air I just get drawn to the spot and ask if I can join…. happend many times on my vacation Thailand - yeah, I was not only diving Koh Samet and Koh Chang, I was also Frisbeeing/Discing Koh Samet and Koh Chang… ;-)

The cold sensation is in Copenhagen now

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

Yes sir, Absolut Vodka has now opened their concept bar Absolut Icebar in Copenhagen and even though they charge 150 DKk for a 45 minutes visit and the first shot I better check it out some day…. not for the Vodka - Absolut is certainly not the best one and vodka is not my favorite, but I gotta see the concept… ;-)
