Store begivenheder, der tiltrækker masser af opmærksomhed, mennesker og ressourcer, antænder en enorm idérigdom og kreativitet. Tag f.eks. månelandingen i 1969; den kastede et væld af opfindelser og produkter af sig, som vi bruger den dag i dag – tænk bare på staniol og mikrobølgeovnen. Uden sammenligning med raketter og måner i øvrigt, er slutrunden [...]

Vi afholder en ny omgang Inspirationsinjektion den 13. januar i Geekhouse. Seks toptunede og begejstrede indlæg på 10 minutter om alt det du ikke ved, du ikke ved. Serendipity at its best.

Jeg deltog for et par uger siden i den danske TED-konference, eller TEDxCopenhagen, som den officielle titel er. Konferencen er en ”individuelt arrangeret TED-event”, altså en slags franchising. TED har ikke så meget med den at gøre, andet end at udstikke regler for brug af deres brand, grafik, format etc..

Jeg vil i det følgende ikke diskutere oplæggene ret meget, dem kan man nemlig selv se på http://video.tedxcopenhagen.dk. I stedet vil jeg beskrive mine tanker omkring det at arrangere et ”event” af den karakter (oplæggene var generelt gode).

In May 2009 the Central Denmark Region (CDR) and the Science and Technology Commision of Shanghai signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen the scientific cooperation between Shanghai and CDR. To mark the signing of theMoU the administration asked us to orchestra a joint ideation process.

Det er lige gået op for mig, at jeg så småt er begyndt at springe folks tweets på 140 tegn over, fordi de er for lange. Da Twitter var ved at slå igennem talte alle om, hvor svært det var at udtrykke sig med kun 140 tegn. Men vi tilpasser os de nye medier – det har vi alle dage gjort. Og i dag er 140 tegn altså lige i overkanten og jeg bliver decideret småirriteret, når folk frådser og sender mig en 160-tegns sms i romanstørrelse. Faktisk tager jeg mig af og til i at ønske, at en ven eller medarbejders historie blev fortalt i twitter-form.

We’ve had a Kindle 2 lying around the office for a while, but we never really got round to actually getting anything worth reading on to it. During the weekend I finally transferred a bunch of Gutenberg books to it, along with the new Dan Brown book.

Chris Anderson published his much talked about “Free” book recently and naturally is was (and is) free from several sources. It can be downloaded as an audiobook read by Chris himself or as an eBook for most platforms.
This post isn’t about that though, the book’s already been discussed at length all over the web. This [...]

I was invited to speak in Lancaster the other day at Art Of Digital, a learning lab focusing on the organizational use of digital technologies in the arts sector. The presentation was on our work with digital lead users at 48HoursInDenmark.
Art of Digital is a partnership project between Arts Council England and FACT (Foundation for [...]

The classic russian puzzler Tetris celebrated 25 year of falling blocks on the 6th of June. To celebrate I’ve collected a bunch of Tetris links I’ve stolen from around the web.

The essential parts of Tetris remain the same, even after 25 years. While there have been additions and subtractions from the original format (such as [...]
