Never Ever Ever Piss Off Creative People!

July 21, 2009

If you break something, you fix it. If only United Airlines would have had this moral policy when they broke Dave Carroll’s Taylor guitar, they wouldn’t have suffered. But they did. Oh, they did. Because creative people aren’t like ordinary people. They don’t fight back with legal action that huge and rich organizations can defend [...]

Planner Must Read: Were You, Are You, or Will You Be?

July 9, 2009

Cover via Amazon With his new book called The Time Paradox, social psychologist Dr Philip Zimbardo lays out behavioral patterns of past-, present-, and future oriented personality types. It’s an incredibly simple, yet insightful theory he puts forth, and one which really highlights the weaknesses of our ordinary demographic segmentation of target groups. I would [...]

Google Amazing Wave Keeps Me Awake at Night

June 3, 2009

After digging through everything I have been able to get my hands on about Google Wave, I’m in awe. This to me changes the game completely. I am not even going to begin trying to explain what Wave is (others have done so already), but trust me, it’s extremely cool. And ambitious. I love it. [...]

Spotify Goes Mobile and Offline!

May 28, 2009

When I lectured at Stockholm School of Economics about the future of music and video I remember receiving a few critical questions about mobility: “What about when you’re mobile?”, “What about when you’re on a plane?”, “What about when you don’t have an internet connection?”. Ladies and gentlemen, here is your answer: And by the [...]

New Exciting Speaking Opportunity on the Adriatic Coast

May 25, 2009

The other day I accepted the invitation to speak at SEMPL 12 in Slovenia in November 2009. A very exciting opportunity to be sure! 500-600 people are expected to attend, and the setting in Portorož on the Adriatic coast puts most other conferences to shame. I will let you know more about this talk as [...]

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 [...]

Your Business Card is Crap

April 13, 2009

The Honesty business cards are printed with Helvetica on uncoated paper. Slightly larger type to improve clarity. Simple as can be. It’s precisely the type of business card that this guy would HATE. Thanks to Frenne for sharing.

Christian Lander of Stuff White People Like Was Good But Canned

April 2, 2009

Yesterday we saw Christian Lander, writer of the the super successful blog and book Stuff White People Like,  talk at Rival. And yes, it was really very interesting. In fact, it’s an extraordinary story of “overnight”-success. However, for those of us who do our homework beforehand, it was a bit of a disappointment. Why? Well, [...]

Impressive Talk by Naoki Iko The Highlight of The Week

April 1, 2009

Microsoft delivered today. There were two excellent talks, the first one being by Nick Bailey of AKQA. It was a fairly traditional presentation of some very good work. Fiat’s Eco Drive, an in-car-USB-powered Nike+ for cars. Cool. Though I think that it would have been even cooler with an industry-wide call to action where Fiat [...]

From The Creator of The World Wide Web…. drumroll…

March 17, 2009

Okay everybody, are you ready for some inspiration? Here we go. This TED-talk is not just by any TED-speaker. It’s by the guy who INVENTED the world wide web. Yep. That’s right. Mr Tim Berners-Lee himself. And he’s talking about something that has had me hooked since I took my first database programming course back [...]

I Never Want To Be Anything But An Amateur.

March 15, 2009

I‘m sitting here reading a blog post by Ted Valentin where he reminds me of a quote from Chris Andersson’s The Long Tail: “… In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the combination of the electric guitar, the arrival of cheap multitrack recorders, and the fine example set by Sex Pistols gave licence to a [...]

Charlene Li’s Predictions. Right or Wrong?

Seesmic’s Got Me Hooked. I Think.

January 25, 2009

So, Seesmic has my attention. What du you think of this Twitter-ish video service. Either it’s an amazing way to build relationships or it’s TOO intimate and will meet the same fate as video-calls on 3G-phones. (At least here in Sweden, video-calls are just dead). But so far I’m intrigued. This seems really cool to [...]

Virals, Obama and Street Fighting

January 21, 2009

Lesson number one. Never release a “viral” close to the inauguration speech, if it’s not a spoof of it. Pretty much everything spreading fast right now is Obama in one form or another. That said, I think that one of the fastest growing non-Obama-virals right now is quite interesting conceptually. They’ve actually created a rudimentary [...]

There is also an interesting comment on that post by Michael Dahlén where he talks about information symmetry, a theme that I’ll adress later in this post. In this second part I will show you [...]
