Apple event 7th March 2012

It is Nerd fest tonight. I’m glued to my Mac’s (yes both of them) and watching Cnet live stream and Engadget live blog. I’m not sure if it is a marketing trick by Apple to not stream their own events live and instead give everyone the chance to bring the own “live” news out on …

China and global social media

Hi The business man here. Last week I came back from a business trip in China where I visited two cities, Yantai and Shanghai. I have been to various countries in Asia many times before and always been amazed by what is going on there but China takes the price for me. I’m not quiet sure …

What is reality?

The Philosopher here. I have just finished an audio book called Infinite Reality by Jim Blascovich and Jeremy Baileson. It was a very fascinating book about what the future will look like when we combine our grounded reality with virtual reality.

Do we (really) need to unplug?

The Philosopher and The Nerd here. In the last couple of weeks there has been a debate in the Swedish media if we need to unplug from the Internet over the holidays or not. For me and my fellow Internet nerds this is a strange discussion and what is striking is that those who are …

Complexity is not complicated

The Businessman and The Philosopher here. This is my view of the difference between complexity and complicated. Quiet often I find my self in a situation where project progress is halted because people mix complexity with complicated. Let me make it very clear, complexity is not the same thing as complicated.  Complexity is in fact …

AppleTV recension

Hello The Nerd here. Another post in Swedish, use Google Translate or take a Swedish lesson. Denna post blir på svenska, mest för att det jag möjligen har att säga är mer intressant för svenska läsare än de engelska. AppleTV är ju på intet sätt någon ny gadget men det är först nu under hösten …

Business travel and new perspectives

Hello, The Business man here. When I start to write this  post I’m sitting on a flight between Vienna and Copenhagen. I have for some time had this thought in my head that traveling brings out ideas and new thoughts that does not come out when sitting in the office.  I have also noted that …

Vad vill du minnas?

The Philosopher here. I felt like writing a post in Swedish, it will happen from time to time so my English readers have to wait for the next one or use Google Translate and simply add the URL  :). Jag lyssnade idag på Filosofiska rummet om minnets funktion. Det är ett ämne jag funderat en hel del runt …

Can you handle creativity?

Hi The Businessman here. This blog post started when I, earlier this week, was on a business trip to Birmingham in the UK. To get to Birmingham from Stockholm, I had to fly via Frankfurt. I decided to use an electronic boarding pass, which was simply the boarding pass in a PDF format on my …
