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 […]

There’s a been a lot of media and not so much trend in this Good Old Trend blog so far. I’ll try to balance the two a bit more ahead. Lately in life there’s been a lot of work as well, but I guess that’s another story. Springwise have addressed the issue of workplaces for working men and women on the move. It’s an interesting development and one that I’ve been thinking about myself for […]

My colleague Hugo just wrote an interesting post about a new project that we are planning: On the subject of contribution, and I think that there is something missing in the way people contribute code. As I was planning to package all the interesting Good Old-code as a dojo library, I realized that there is no such thing as a dojo library: people are expected to contribute directly to the dojo toolkit. I think that […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about intertextuality and connectivity lately. It connects both with Netocracy that I’m reading (although not with great haste I might add) and media strategies for a few clients that I have in mind. Eric Wahlforss went to see the Snakes on a Plane, and wrote an interesting passage about backchannels: We see a world that is becoming increasingly hypermediated. The idea of immediacy often attributed to the conversation seems to […]

Quick note to point you towards PSFK that has an interview with me today. Check it out!
