I was going to blog about some interesting tidbits from the kingdom of Denmark when the future existence of my blog was called into question yesterday. So, while I was quite put off blogging, my thoughts did wander to Hamlet, of course.

Both because of his existential soul-searching - Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or take arms against a sea of troubles, blog about them and move to another blog provider as swift as possible – and because of Marcellus' 'Something is rotten in the state of Denmark'.

The latter quote came to mind because of my musings on one or two Danish media stories, but, while reading David Weinberger on lumpers and splitters yesterday somehow tempted me to lump all of these issues together in one post, reason told me to resist that temptation and rather put those media tidbits in one or two separate stories.

Oh, and I did manage to press the right button yesterday, updating my non-updated billing info, so the future of this blog seems to have been secured, though I'm not quite sure it will remain with Typepad...
