Blogs Are The Television of Our Time. Meet Foki.

February 15, 2010

After a hard night out on the town me and my beautiful (albeit occasionally hot tempered) girlfriend Katja went out for a cozy Valentine’s day walk on Södermalm. We started out with pizza (hey, we were out until 6 in the morning last night, give us a break), and went on to pick up a [...]

What Bill Clinton And Tiger Woods Could Learn From Amazing Ursula

February 12, 2010

“I did not have sex with that woman… miss Lewinsky” is not a good strategy. Why? Because it’s untrue. If you think back at the Clinton/Lewinsky-affair, the big issue wasn’t really that Bill was unfaithful, but rather that he kept lying himself into a corner. Tiger Woods did the same thing.

Screw Awards. Here Comes Truth Knocking on Your Door.

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

February 23, 2009

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. People are talking about whether or not artists should be [...]

Predictions And Afterthoughts

November 12, 2008

Times change, and it’s always easy to be smart when looking back. But when you’re back there, things are rarely that obvious. We can laugh at Bill Gates for saying that 640k of RAM is all anyone will ever need (or did he?), but predicting the future is a whole different ball game. An excellent [...]
