Installing WP Thesis on Host Gator. Don’t Let Them Fool You!

October 22, 2009

Those stubborn bastards! It took me hours in the live chat with several different support people, a bunch of emails, and even flashing a bit of the famous Walter rage to get the USA-based web hosting service Host Gator to listen. But finally they did. Here’s the story: I was working on a WordPress Thesis [...]

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

April 17, 2009

In about an hour we will know the verdict in the Pirate Bay-trials. Let’s hope that people are being smart about this. Because a guilty verdict would not be good for anyone. Especially not for art and artists. A guilty verdict would do little to boost sales. I believe we’ll see the opposite result. Darknets [...]

Clarity, Censorship, and a Confused Editorial by Hanne Kjöller

March 20, 2009

In this morning’s newspaper (DN) I read an editorial by Hanne Kjöller about government communications. What has upset Hanne is the fact that the government office Stockholm’s Stad have developed rules for how to talk to the press, and distributed small reminder cards to remind of these rules. Granted, this could have been a problem [...]

Björn Rietz New CEO – A Promising New Beginning For The AAS.

February 18, 2009

Björn Rietz is the new CEO for the Advertising Association of Sweden. I guess I should comment on that. “The World is Changing” is perhaps one of the most worn out phrases in trend analysis. And it’s always true. But now, the rate of change for our context as marketing professionals act is extreme. Not [...]

The Elevator Pitch is Dead. Enter The Twitter Pitch.

February 5, 2009

– “What’s your elevator pitch”? I hear the words of my mentor ringing in my ear. – Well… errhm… let me get back to you on that. I wander off in the office thinking about how to compress my story into a six floor elevator ride. In my head, of course, it’s quite complex with [...]

Will The Death of Privacy Make The World A Better Place?

November 12, 2008

Some things in life are just taken for granted and are rarely questioned. Privacy is one of those things. It’s implicitly agreed upon by everybody that privacy is a good thing, and that maintaining personal integrity is one of the major challenges of web 2.0. I would like to question this. Let’s go back to [...]

Design Talks: Supercars of the late 60′s

August 4, 2008

On my new little section “Design Talks” I’ll look at some design case studies that interest me. First out is the supercars of the late 60′s and early 70′s. They are interesting for several reasons. The designs have sprung from technical innovations like the mid-engine layout, but are also politically inspired by the space age [...]

You Have Spoken

May 12, 2008

The poll regarding the language of this blog ended up fairly close to a draw. And considering only 35 people actually voted, I conclude that the rest of you don’t mind English (or don’t understand it, haha!). So, ladies and gentlemen, dear readers, the court rules in favor of keeping the blog in English.

Det finns kontor och kontor

February 29, 2008

En sån här dag skall man inte jobba från kontoret. Man skall sitta någonstans där det är skön stämning, många fönster där man kan se solen och havet, generös takhöjd, bryggkaffe, sköna fåtöljer framför en öppen eld. Kanske… J! Wireless internet rules.
