Read Part I first.

Actually, the first thing the royal prince asked me about when I was introduced to him as the Head of the Department of Digital Aesthetics & Communication, was: "I understand what digital communication means, but what does digital aesthetics mean?". Not a bad question, so we talked a bit about that, and I said that it could also mean the aesthetics of computer games (because he had mentioned games in his opening speech), and then we talked a lot about computer games and the SMMOG project (Students Massive Multiplayer Game)which he was really impressed by and which was also pitched by Mads Tofte, our dean who was an interested bystander to the entire conversation.

Somehow we just never got around to the weblog question, but next time...if there is any....I'll be ready to give this long talk about the relation between digital aesthetics, digital communication, weblogs and...basically everything else. Lesson learned: it requires a quick-thinking woman to keep up with a professional conversation-maker.
