After exactly one year in Copenhagen I am back in <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=utrecht+nl&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=52.091742,5.123062&amp;spn=0.224014,0.565109&amp;z=11&amp;iwloc=addr\">Utrecht<\/a>. I enjoyed my time in Denmark tremendously, it has proven to be a great place to start my new life as a freelance designer. Now I will continue <a href=\"http:\/\/leapfrog.nl\/\">my practice<\/a> over here. Different city, same international outlook. <\/p>\n<p>The final period in Copenhagen consisted mainly of me speaking at a lot of conferences. First there was <a href=\"https:\/\/leapfrog.nl\/blog\/archives\/2008\/05\/27\/urban-procedural-rhetorics-transcript-of-my-twab-2008-talk\/\">The Web and Beyond<\/a>, then came <a href=\"https:\/\/leapfrog.nl\/blog\/archives\/2008\/06\/23\/slides-and-summary-for-more-than-useful\/\">From Business to Buttons<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlgd.nl\/fog\/content\/view\/209\/1\/lang,en\/\">NLGD Festival of Games<\/a> and finally <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reboot.dk\/artefact-4305-en.html\">Reboot<\/a> &#8212; I could not have wished for a better going-away party.<\/p>\n<p>There is not much time to catch my breath, however. I have client projects happening throughout July and of course there is also plenty of unpacking and merging of the old and new life to be done. I hope to publish the NLGD and Reboot stuff shortly, but it might take me a while.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I am back in the Netherlands, I can also move forward with some small plans I\u2019ve had for some time: one being <strong>a local design event<\/strong> and the other <strong>a \u2018different\u2019 kind of office space<\/strong>. I am also still <strong>looking for a creative technologist<\/strong> to partner up with on <del datetime=\"2008-07-04T10:40:58+00:00\">potential<\/del> future projects.
