June 30, 2010

Man that was tough. I’ve been lucky to have been scheduled in the first slot of the day at most talks I’ve done so far, but today I got the very last slot. And it was crazy hot in Olympia’s Pillar Hall in London where my Marketing Week talk was scheduled. Some talks are easier [...]

A Guilty Pirate Bay Verdict Will Make us Look Like Idiots in The History Books

Augmented Intelligence And 3 Other Ways of Saving The World (And The Music Industry) From The Internet

A few days after the fact I read this article on Realtid.se. The contents of the article are nothing jaw dropping. The comments on the article however, reflect the fact that so much of this discussion is taking place well outside the realm of relevance.
