There’s a new branch of the Guardian Angels, called Cyber Angels. They don’t wear red berets and jackets. They sit at home in front of their computers, looking for trouble-makers on the internet. I met Guardian Angels founder, Curtis Sliwa, and a volunteer cyber angel. You can listen to the result, here.

Today is Stop Cyberbullying Day!

Members rejoice. President of PuertoDansk, Solana Larsen, is interviewed by British newspaper The Guardian about Denmark and Puerto Rico being scientifically proven to be some of the happiest places in the world.

Guardian journalist Oliver Burkeman concludes: “I’ve joined the society, and look forward to becoming permanently joyful soon.”

Check the updates on the PuertoDansk website.

And here is the official view on Greenland from colonial superpower, the Danish Foreign Ministry: Santa Claus lives there.

Here’s another nice Danish radio interview with P1’s Harddisken about openDemocracy and debating politics online.

The conference in Denmark was followed by some neat interviews in the Danish press about openDemocracy (and moi). Here is interview with the newspaper Information, and an audio interview from P1’s Mennesker og Medier. The fact that I am able to link to the newspaper article, is thanks to a little contstructive controversy here: Danish / English.

Here is an audio interview with my father, Dan Larsen, on ComputerWorld about Web 2.0 and Danish media. He spoke at the conference too, and we both blogged about it in Danish, here: Blogbyblog.

I’ve been strolling around a Danish new media conference today, representing openDemocracy, and actually relishing the opportunity to talk and think about future strategies and ideas. This is me, being interviewed for a Danish podcast. The geeks among you will be excited to hear, that Doc Searls might become the next new member of the Danish-Puerto Rican Society (or so we jested). I was serious. Especially about the whole thing about the party in California.

So how did they do it? “Very carefully,” says one scientist. “In the mud,” says another.

Thanks to family and friends who keep sending me these links. Here’s another one: T-rex goes to Copenhagen city hall.

Experts in Pennsylvania are saying maybe 70% of all dinosaur species have not yet been discovered. Actual fact, or ploy to get more funding? They say they have hundreds of years of digging to do.

Most dinosaur leftovers have been found in North America, China, Mongolia and Argentina. But it seems Denmark (Bornholm) can boast of having been home to at least one Sauropod and an Ankylosaurus about 65 million years ago.

If you’re in the market for plastic dinosaurs, I suggest eBay.

The global political pressure group, PuertoDansk, lends its support to this important initiative to fix Denmark’s brand.

You have to read the book “FEDT” by my friend Martin (in Danish) to understand why the alternative URL for this website is fuckingdenmark.com – and even then you don’t really understand it.

The Danish-Puerto Rican Society is having its annual picnic in Prospect Park on Saturday. Email the president for more info. There’ll be music all day, since we’re piggy-backing on the Boricua Festival. Bring Carlsberg beer and multi-ethnic smiles. Near the Bandshell. 2pm.
