Conference time! I’m at New Media Days in Copenhagen and we’re about to listen to Doc Searls talk. Should be good, his talk at Reboot was excellent but I hope he does something slightly different today. If you’re here, come over and say hello. I’m the one not wearing a dress shirt (which narrows it down to about ten), but with a scarf and a Milkcrate Athletics t-shirt instead. tags technorati : NMD06 docsearls conference […]
I just finished watching Fight Club for the second time. Apart from being a good film, it raises the issue of consumption being the shackles of society. This would fit nicely along with my previous post on identity through non-ownership. That is, if all consumption leads to ownership – which of course it does not. The consumption of material things differ from services or disposable items such as food or drink, through binding up money […]
If there are any readers that happen to live in Jönköping (bit of a long shot, I admit) – come over to the IHH and say hello tomorrow (Thursday). I will be discussing the future of the internet together with a few very interesting names. But there will be plenty of time to talk to others as well. tags technorati : jsa debate jönköping tags bloggar.se: jsa, jönköping, debatt
Every now and then I accidentally press the folder in Bloglines, instead of a link. This means that all the unread posts open at the same time, and there is no way of cancelling it either (please fix this Mr Bloglines). Anyway, every time I do this I have to go through a few hundred posts just to make sure that I don’t miss anything. I guess this is good in some sort of way, […]
Or at least it’s better looking. Thanks Olof and Peter. If something looks a bit shifty, try and reloading the page. Everything doesn’t seem to follow through straight away.
London last weekend was a treat. I met three inspiring women that left my head spinning all through Sunday. I love this travelling life, it’s what keeps me on point I think. I’m already looking forward to going back even if Warsaw or something like that is probably up next. Just a short post now – three sites that I saw and heard of in London: Ocado A Supermarket-service that delivers food and groceries from […]
Copied from Good Old Tech: We are looking for a freelance programmer who’s familiar with dojo & django and has a working knowledge of databases, PgSql in particular. A lack of formal education isn’t a problem, but a lack of experience in the form of professional or hobby projects is. …and taking interns If there are any Swedish students that are interested in doing their “exjobb” with us you are welcome to contact us with […]
Rob Curley is a strange man, no doubt about it. But he has a knack for seeing the obvious when it comes to newspaper-centred web development. After creating an award winning Mark Twain site, an online music calendar and now lately an extensive podcast library in Naples, Florida – the time has come. He’s going to the Washington Post. And so he should. I visited him in Lawrence when I used to work for the […]
As a follow up to my last post I thought I’d write about the trend that has interested me the most lately. The urge to own as little as possible, but at the same time have access to everything. This fits me the best at the moment. Trend consultant Kristina Dryza (who I’ll be meeting for tea tomorrow!) wrote an insightful report on this issue. You should definitely read all of it, but before you […]
Buying physical things (clothes, cars, gadgets) as a part of creating your identity has been going on since the beginning of commerce. Strangely enough this is one of the few behaviours that haven’t followed us to the internet. Consumption on the internet in there, paying for premium levels or online shopping, but not the connection between the consumption of physical things and your online identity. Until now. First the steps that preceded this: 1. Identity […]
