Hi! You've found me. This is kind of an experimental / placeholder journal, since the way LiveJournal has been changing recently worries me.
You can find me there under the username m03m. That's m-zero-three-m.

Since I'm (for now) primarily an LJ user, these entries have been copied from there. Some have even been copied from MySpace first!
That causes some problems with linkage. And if there's something about site changes and other ongoing events that makes you go 'huh?' because it doesn't seem to make any sense, it's probably about LiveJournal, not Scribbld. I apologize for any confusion and other kinds of inconvenience.

Oh, and copying the entries from elsewhere means losing all comments, as well.

I'm no good at tooting my own horn, so I'll just paste the News article here:

You can all stop biting your fingernails now. The votes have been cast and counted. (Over 1000 BookCrossers participated in our first ever online convention-location-voting. Wow!) We can now tell you who won the bid for the 2010 Anniversary Convention! (Drum roll...)

But first, who were the candidates again? There were three: Amsterdam, Boston and Washington, DC. Each of them had a great spokesperson. Presentations were done in London at the 2008 Convention by Moem, Tobysrus and Skyring (the in loco parentis representative for the "BC in DC" group.) It was really hard to decide which of these wonderful cities to vote for, especially after seeing the fabulous online presentations or hearing reports back from folks attending the Convention in London.

But the outcome was pretty clear: mark your calendars for April 2010 in Amsterdam! Congratulations to the Dutch organizing team: boekenxnl, chris147, fotomiep, Joanazinha, Luielezer, Moem, Phoenix-Flight, Rubberchicken. Keep your eyes on the Convention Info page for updates. They've already got a nice website going with plans and loads of information.

I'm still tired, but did we ever have fun! And there was so much interesting stuff going on. I'm interested in the technical side of things, so on many of the pics up on Flickr you'll see me talking to Matt or Wyando.
I actually didn't go to ANY of the talks and workshops because I was too busy talking to old friends, getting to know new friends, and getting to know old friends whom I'd only ever met online.
I did have time to taste a bit of London, which took the shape of sandwiches, fish & chips, excellent Indian food, and a nice pint of bitter.
This Convention has left me feeling hopeful and optimistic about many things concerning BookCrossing, one of them being our chance to host the 2010 Convention in the Netherlands.

Here's a video of the presentation of our bid: ( Cut for your viewing convenience )

Furthermore I just want to say that the Organisation of this Convention did a great job!
