		<title>TV2 Wikipedia Gate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The attacks on participatory culture/models gets more and more bizarre.
Yesterday the main morning news show ran a story about how anyone can edit wikipedia. They make fun of a world where everyone can participate and spread fear about how dangerous it can be.
To prove the point they humorously tried to show that they had edited the hosts&#8217; own wikipedia entries with some prank statements. Like small bullies in kindergarden doing it on national television &#8211; f*** with our collective creation Wikipedia. Arrogance is a small word for it.
What they actually ...]]></description>

		<title>23 launches Visualblog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last couple of years i&#8217;ve spent a great deal of time exploring the visual paradigm, the shift from textual to visual communication and collaboration. A long the way i co-founded 23, a photo sharing service in 2005 -and saw people sharing unexpected photos. Small shops taking photos of their goods and the life in their store, organic farmers uploading photos of their lettuce in order to sell them, a small communication agency communicating through photos, big organizations sharing photos from their events &#8211; the story goes on,
But they we&#8217;re ...]]></description>

		<title>Crashing before rebooting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Discussing the idea of rebooting things/minds/societies with friends today a simple insight i astonishingly never had thought of. (not wanting to stretch the reboot metaphor too much).
Even though a preventive reboot of the system now and then could avoid a hard crash, most things first get rebooted when they&#8217;ve crashed hard and reached a standstill.
Could explain an absurdity or two in societies and organizations. And could point one&#8217;s energy towards rebooting the things that have crashed instead of doing preventive reboots of things that are still functioning somewhat however an ...]]></description>

		<title>Turning 30</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So today is the day.
Would never have believed 10-12 years ago that i would experience so much, make so many mistakes, meet so many interesting inspiring people, mess so many things up, try so many things and yet realize how little i understand of it all.
And as all the wise &#8220;elders&#8221; tells me these days &#8211; it only gets better if you let it. And that i guess is the hard part becoming more and more settled in one&#8217;s mind and relations.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m instigating and sponsoring The Copenhagen Project. 
A couple of months ago i &#8220;met&#8221; a talented bloke Jeppe Kabell in a comment thread in the latest flamebait between mainstream media folks and edge-media folks about protecting old business models, free vs. paid, amateurs vs. professionals, paper vs. digital and objectivity vs. subjectivity. All discussions that in our opinion is taking us away from the essential issue &#8220;how do we as humans keep up to date with whatâ€™s happening in the world and make sense of it all&#8221; &#8211; in a ...]]></description>

		<title>Second Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, this is something that really has been puzzling me for months. The Second Life hype. Today was the tipping point &#8211; i need to understand the dynamics of the hype &#8211; hope you can help.
A danish IDG arranged event called webchamp honoring great web solutions devotes about 80% of it&#8217;s full-day conference to Second Life.  Rest aside that Second Life has got nothing to do with the World Wide Web (Web) it&#8217;s interesting how mass media is pumping/hyping up Second Life.

		<title>Welcome Back on the Town Square</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did a presentation in the afternoon for a couple of hundred online marketing professionals at the DIA07 conference/award show. A basic cluetrainish message representing the individuals view on the future of marketing customer/company relationship combined with some context and thougths on the customer-driven intentional marketplace.
Started by reading aloud 14 statements from the Cluetrain Manifesto &#8211; since they so beautifully captures the zeitgeist &#8211; even though they were written in 1999, soon almost 8 years ago. The statements/worldview apparently was somewhat controversial with the crowd, or at least with one of ...]]></description>

		<title>The future of libraries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did a gonzo presentation for 100 danish library leaders today. Ended up calling it &#8220;Excitement, Fundamentals and Implementation&#8221;. Discussing the excitement about the future many people are experiencing. Calling for the library to go back to the fundamentals of giving free access to information. Calling for the libraries to actually implement their core in a digital context by digitalizing all information in their archives and providing danish citizens free digital access to all material published whether in books, journals, dvd, etc. &#8211; effectively bridging the copyfight vs. the copyright cartels ...]]></description>

Happy Hour is 9 to 5 is the title of my friend Alexander&#8216;s new book (aka. Mr. Chief Happiness Officer). Read it online for free or buy a pdf/physical book to support Alexander and his work. Comes very well recommended.

		<title>Micro Lending</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My kid brother gave me a wonderful christmas gift &#8211; a gift card to do micro lending with Kiva. You can check out my portfolio and follow my adventures.
Kiva is a great prototype &#8211; but would love if the system could be more P2P than the current implementation &#8211; which is more of an add-on to existing instutional micro lending systems. (a lot of transaction costs that could be taken out of the system).

		<title>5 Things You May Not Know About Me</title>

 &#8211; I&#8217;m a high school dropout with no formal education. (technically probably still on leave from high school).
 &#8211; I&#8217;m 29 years old and live in Copenhagen, Denmark with my girlfriend and our two kids.
 &#8211; In my teens i was a hockey dj, actually the reason why my family got a real computer. DJ&#8217;ing for 1.000-2.500 people for ice hockey games &#8211; a great learning experience about the symbiosis ...]]></description>

		<title>The New Reality of the Net</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Was on the danish national broadcasters conversation show &#8220;Deadline 2nd section&#8221; in a conversation about &#8220;the new reality of the net&#8221; (their title) last sunday. Haven&#8217;t dared watching it myself, but if you&#8217;re adventurous you can watch it.
Interestingly how much attention Secondlife gets since it&#8217;s a very small trend compared to the major trends, interesting how such a tv show is produced (apart from the 3 camera people it&#8217;s very light staffing), how  scripted a conversation show on tv actually is &#8211; perhaps that what it takes to do ...]]></description>

		<title>Google Production Costs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This tidbit from the google quarterly earnings somehow stuck with me.

Other Cost of Revenues &#8211; Other cost of revenues, which is comprised primarily of data center operational expenses, as well as credit card processing charges, increased to $223 million, or 8% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2006, compared to $204 million, or 8% of revenues, in the second quarter.
So their raw production costs (which includes the the worlds largest datacenter) is 8% of revenues.

		<title>Copyright is Even More Right in the Digital Age</title>

 &#8211; &#8220;Copyright is even more right in the digital age because copyright compels  creativity. It furnishes the incentive to innovate. Therefore, limiting the protection of  copyrights threatens innovation.&#8221;
 &#8211; &#8220;Finally, at the risk of sounding naive, let me state the obvious: copyright is, well,  right. Itâ€™s inherently right for both the creator and the consumer.  Itâ€™s ...]]></description>

		<title>Dead Words Walking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did a presentation yesterday at the Shift conference on the use of language as technology/tool for change [PDF]. The last page is the participants suggestions of words we should say goodbye to and words they&#8217;d like to see appear/be used more widely. Shift is a great initiative, more momentum to the power of conferences with lot&#8217;s of perspective of human social use of technology and to conferences organized by passionate individuals not for profit or to make a living, but to create platforms for conversations.

		<title>The organization that was just a bit confused about whom it really was</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Al-Noor Ramji, Chief Executive Officer BT EXact and Group CIO, &#8220;At the end of the day, we (BT) are a telco&#8230; and by that I mean, we are fundamentally an infrastructure company&#8221;.
Five minutes later on the same panel:
Neil Rogers, Managing Director 21CN, BT says, &#8220;We are fundamentally a services company&#8221;
as reported by Malcolm Matson.
(Not that there&#8217;s anything wrong in being a bit confused about who you are &#8211; i&#8217;m that all the time &#8211; just not something that&#8217;s currently accepted in the corporate non-human world).
