facebook and friendship

Via oskay
Last week me and a couple of dudes chatted over lunch about how your Facebook friends are in a group, which you treat in a certain way (unless you’re really good with privacy settings and group, which I think more people will be sooner rather than later). One guy said that it’s unthinkable to [...]

3 loosely connected thoughts

Ooooh, that title can mean anything. A loosely connected trinity. Sounds interesting. Now I’m going to ruin it.
1, A friend of mine, who don’t understand anything about what I do or why I have a blog (not even what blogs are) asked about the name funny you should ask. It’s hard to decide on a [...]

tits are a changing

Walked by a store that sells Lingerie. Sign said “85% of all women have the wrong braw size - are you one of them?”.
I guess they want women to go “wow, must find out”. But I think they’re wrong, because I think what they’ve found out is that 85% of all women are firm believers [...]

log out and log into your brain

2 weeks ago I was down in Hyper Island, Karlskrona for a 4 day long meetup with 25 other people from around the world, working on lot’s of stuff that’s not digital, believe it or not. Just leadership, group dynamics and ideation. Rule of the stay; no phones and no computers. In 2010, in a [...]

didn’t do (a.k.a. lizzard brain)

In Linchpin, Seth Godin writes about the lizzard brain and how it wants to sit still and not ship. At the same time, we often feel a bit more forced to deliver and do, if others (friends and family) can see if we’re doing it. There was an energy saving experiment I read about where [...]

to all you foreign readers

I recently read or saw a video of a smart planning director somewhere (I can’t remember) who talked about the future of planning (how long are we going to dwell on that??). He said two things. The first thing wasn’t very exciting so I can’t remember but the second thing was about understanding cultures. Something [...]

multitasking is a bad idea

Don’t multitask. A Harvard Business Review post very much worth reading. Seriously.
I have to remind myself again and again to focus on how I work. To focus on focusing. It’s sad, I know. For periods of time I’m really good, and sometimes I’m really crap at it. And I know, when I’m crap at it; [...]

a rapist robot

A robot conducts a wedding in Japan, PSFK reports. I think robot stuff is really cool and everything, but it seems to me that some people (cultures) are waaaay too friggin’ robot friendly.
I wonder; when a robot is caught attempting a rape (god forbid), because it will stop at an attempt seen as the metal [...]

twitter isn’t social

How funny; yesterday I had a thought running around my head about how “the medium is the message” doesn’t work anymore. As in, in a sense we can’t talk about it like that anymore.
Then today I trip over this presentation. It’s very data and stats heavy and holds more than one conclusion, but the “advertised” [...]

experience is the message

It’s quite a “do stuff” mentality nowadays, and I’ve read heaps of articles and had discussions lately about what web pages are in the future, who needs web pages and corporate sites vs. having platform presense. And I just reflected over the medium is the message and how it’s very much the experience is the [...]
