For the Love of Kilen

I had meetings in the Kilen building all morning today. The first meeting was ‘brainstorming for ICEpower and Bang & Olufson’. It was part of one of my classes. But, the particularly serene part of the day was just being in Kilen. If there was a Kilen Fan Club, I’ld join it. I know I’ve said it before, but I love that building. The photos are meant to show the contrast between the interior and exterior. There are some really lovely exterior photos on flicker (not mine). But I just felt the need to share a rainy morning at Kilen with you all. Even on a gray rainy day, it feels warm and light inside.

(Of course, the acedemic value of our brainstorming session was beyond question.)

Innovation Hits the Road

You remember back in August and September when I was writing about the Innovation Bubbles? Well, I was walking by to have a look yesterday and it looks like they’re packing up to hit the road. It was pretty interesting to see the poor bubbles with their tops blown off, little plastic half-orbs laying around the park, ideas moving on.

The third picture (up there to the right) is an invention called the “tongue sucker”. This is an interesting concept in that it allows a person with little or no first aid cpr experience to clear an airway immediately. Interesting little device. I have left that file a little bigger than the rest so that those interested in reading more about it can read the info on the photo (above).

DIGRESSITORICAL SIDENOTES: If having these pictures on this blog slows down the loading of the page, please drop me an email or leave me a comment. I may start just putting them up on flicker and linking to a flicker page.

Also, all the photos on this blog, so far, have been taken with my cellphone camera. I have a Sony Ericsson K800i. I love my phone.

On an academic note, I had a meeting with the company and my advisor regarding the finalization of the direction of my project while I am here. It took an unexpectedly interesting turn. What I though was so obvious and necessary was only scratching the surface. There is so much to learn. More on that later.
Hope everyone is having a fantastic day! The sun is breaking through the rain laden clouds as I write this. A little afternoon sunshine bathes this very damp city. Copenhagen’s weather is almost as unpredictable as Boston’s.
