I've had some whiskey, and I've been thinkin'.

Gdansk and Wikimania

Wherein I remember the Wikimania conference in Gdansk, Poland.

So, I went to Gdańsk to attend the 2010 Wikimania conference. I took some photos. You can see them below.

Many things may not make sense out of context. Let me break down some weird-ass events for you.

  • A bunch of us trespassed into a part of the old town that had been bombed into oblivion 60+ years ago and took photos. We pretended to not know what the signs meant even though one of us spoke the language and was actually born in Gdansk.
  • While out to dinner, an unexpected parade passed us. A parade of pirates. Pirates on stilts.
  • Several of us went to a museum. A museum of amber (a local precious “gemstone”) and torture.
  • I met a dog with one eye.
