this just goes to show, what they always say in the conferences, "blogs make everything transparent".

We are done shooting and walking back to the car. We stumble on this grave stone of a bishop. It's so beautiful. It was a bit wierd today. When i was making up stories in my mind to look the part of my shoot, i was kneeling at a grave stone and i started reading it just to have a focus point when the thought occurred to me that one day there's going to be a grave stone with anina.net written on it. And there will be people passing by who will read it like i was reading it. That was a spooky thought. Then i came back to reality: no there wont. I am going to be burned and have my ashes spread in the wind. All the future people will just look my website and they will know who i am.
I wonder what typepad's death policy is? Will they delete my blog after time? Will my web site die when i die? Tapio and i were talking about this death notification stuff. Like, what happens if someone suddenly dies and you dont know about it. You keep emailing them and they don't answer and you get really pissed off at them. It's like they would leave then with a bad rap. There could be a service you sign up for that notifies all the communities and contacts when you die so they take you off their contact list. My phone rings an alarm for one contact of mine who is dead. And i wonder-should i erase her from my contacts so the birthday alarm stops ringing or do i leave it to remember her on that day?

TheNextWeb.org - The European Next Web Conference.
On July 7, 2006 The Next Web conference will take place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands at the Barbizon Palace St. Olofskapel. The Next Web conference is a one day event with the best speakers from all around the world who will give their view on how new web-technology will influence the way we surf, the way we do business and the way we live. The Next Web is a must attend for every web-savvy in Europe.
Today i am meeting the first blogger ever, Justin Hall. We are helping Jury to prepare his speech for the conference. The conference is on Wed. Interestingly enough, i was nit picking about "on" the wiki as opposed to "in" the wiki. Justin said it was semantics, that it was not yet clear with social software. Is a wiki a container you fill or a surface you inscribe upon? I think this will be very interesting conversation at the conference.
///it's interesting, because of the phone and posting by lifeblog, the software does not know when is the good moment to catch the photo. i think it just takes the first frame when it posts a thumbnail. however, with photograhy it's all about catching the person at the right moment when they really look as you see them with your eye. i took down the photo cuz it didnt do justin justice!
