Klastrup's Cataclysms

<$BlogRSDURL$>

This is the research diary of researcher Lisbeth Klastrup, since february 2001 sharing her thoughts on life, universe, persistent online worlds, games, interactive stories and internet oddities with you on the www.

I am currently on leave from the IT University of Copenhagen, and from aug. 2006 - aug. 2007 working as Associate Research Professor at the Center for Design Research Copenhagen, an independant center situated at the School of Architecture. During this year, I will be working on a book about the development of aesthetics, design and interaction on the WWW, together with colleague Ida Engholm.

My blog often reflects how busy I am in general, so posting may be pretty irregular, as well as my potential response to comments. But I read them!

On the road

I'm about to take the road in more than one sense: I'm leaving on holiday today and won't be back online before mid-July (possibly). I've started taking my driver's license and this is possibly the most terrifying experience, I've ever put myself through. Today I was "on the road" with a car for the first time, and some of the holidays will be spent practising not to kill other people when I'm in traffic...

Oh, and the reason why I've started taking the driver's license is that I would really like to be able to hit the road when I go to Georgia in the fall: I've been warned that pedestrians don't stand many chances of fun in that place. It's a close race against time, but if I fail miserably in getting the driver's license before flying out, at least I tried.

Anyway, see you back her in mid-July, until then: enjoy your holidays!

Lisbeth - it's easy and cheap to get a license in US - I've got two, one in LA, one in Boston. You just drive (!) to the local DMV office, fill out a multi choice test and settle a date with an instructor (whom will expect you to turn up another day, again in your own car...) Terrifying, indeed!
