Understanding Web Copy and Why it Will Cost You Big Bucks!

September 21, 2009

It was more than eleven years ago that I started my academic career at the M.Sc.-program for media technology at Linköping Institute of Technology. Way back then, the web was completely different, Google didn’t exist (it was actually founded the same year), and ICQ was the name of the game for communication. But it wasn’t [...]

I Love You Johnny Lee. For Making Me Believe.

November 17, 2008

I thought for a while about where to post this post because it’s really as personal as it is professional, but eventually I decided to post it here instead of on my personal blog. It is a post about inspiration. I’m going to show you a film clip here that is not exactly new (or, [...]

When You Get $40,000 Image Quality For $500, The Singularity is Near

November 17, 2008

The prosumer revolution is no joke. And it has been brought about by different factors. One, obviously, is the ease of publishing and distribution along with its the radical drop in cost. Another is the set of psychological incentives activated by social media. And yet another is the dramatic democratization of production equipment, which is [...]

Chief Innovation Officer Anna Sävenstedt To Aftonbladet

August 19, 2008

Organization of creativity and innovation is one of my favorite topics. I haven’t written about it much here, but I actually wrote my masters thesis on the subject for my M.Sc. in Media Technology back in 2003. More advanced organizational principles and technological aids for innovation are rare in the media industry, at least in [...]

Passwords, pass-pics and pass-songs. Could this be made into a campaign?

August 12, 2008

We all hate memorizing passwords. I do too. Computer Security was one of the last advanced courses I took before getting my media technology M.Sc., and still, I’m as bad as anyone at maintaining good password security routines. It’s just a pain. Enter ObPwd, another achronym representing “Object-Based Passwords”. What if a song, a picture [...]

Technology Clowning

June 23, 2008

There was A LOT of talk about technology at Cannes this year. A lot of talk about social networks. And mobile. I think there is much confusion about technology. Being an old media technology engineer, I guess I should embrace and defend technology, but even though I love technology, I don’t view it as an [...]

Winning

May 28, 2008

“Winning” is a concept that fascinates us humans. Especially men seem to be fascinated by it, and have been since we were still just mamals butting heads. But there are really three types of winning. The first type is when you compete with your friends, family, spouse, girl-/boyfriend, or even kids. Not a very rewarding [...]

February 22, 2008

Yeehj! The presentation of my masters thesis went great, and I’m now just a signature away from my M.Sc. (civilingenjör) in Media Technology. Took me ten years, but hey… I’ve been busy working for god sake! After taking the train back to Stockholm I met up with the amazing Sara for some chilled Pol Roger [...]

Hard Drop the Idiots of Facebook!

December 5, 2007

I have an L.A-friend, who is one of the smartest guys I know. We went to college together to get our M.Sc’s in Media Technology, started a Magazine together, and basically had a lot of fun for four years. He ended up in Hollywood making all these cool superhero-films at Sony Imageworks, and I ended [...]
