Der er en amerikansk hjemmeside der lægger referater fra samtlige fjernsynsudsendelser ud på nettet de hedder “television without pity” og jeg vil godt efterlyse nogen der vil gøre denne idé efter på dansk, i blogformat..

Jeg ser kun fjernsyn som tidsfordriv ( og vil hellere se film) men jeg vil gerne kunne tale med venner og familie omkring de fremragende programmer der er på TV..

så en eller anden.. spar os allesammen for en masse TV tid og skriv ned hvad der sker og blog det… jeg har desværre ikke tid eller lyst til at skrive ned hvad der sker.

found this amongst my old documents – may it enlighten your path *s* don’t remember when I wrote it.

I am here to learn.
It excites me to be capable of learning and use what I have learned.
It excites me to know that I am nothing – and day by day I get smarter and smarter
I need to use this knowledge to change the world.
What knowledge have you got ?
What knowledge do you want to give to the world ?
Products do not excite me.
Brands do not excite me.

Interaction is what I do, every day.
I am not a networker to benefit.
I am a networker to give.
To pass it on.
To make people smarter
To hear their voice getting euphoric.

I am an ideatank.
Every person is.
Stating you’re not, is your biggest enemy
You

Other people are the most significant part of my life.

I want to
Give
Share
Listen

To network is to contribute.

Networking and contribution will change the world

Take the focus of yourself , your business.

Recognize what knowledge you have that you can share with other people

Sharing is very selfish.

Everybody knows that what you give is what you get.

While I can’t be at WeMedia on the other side of the pond Trine-Maria and Henrik Føhns are blogging from the venue. Trine-Maria wrote an excellent transcipt of Al Gore’s speech and here is the part of the transcript ( translated from danish) that moves me the most

“ It seems like we live in another universe. 3/4 of americans has replied that they believe that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11 – today 50 % of the american public still believes it! the OJ Simpson case was an earlier example of the obsession, which in larger and larger scale is categorizing the media nowadays.
. how can it be that we torture prisoners, and we aren’t rebelling against it ? even worse, we are not discussing it. If the gap between rich and poor are getting bigger – why is there more and more apathy next to this development ? Senator Burns asked, when the United States declared war on Iraq ” why is here so quiet ? why isn’t the debate lifting off the rooftop ? . The senators wasn’t there to debate, they were out at their tiers collecting money for the next tv commercial – and the commercials are hence, more important than the debate…

This is very very interesting, I need to reflect on it a bit more… the first word that comes to mind is “very scary”..

I wonder if it is the same in Denmark. Are the politicians too busy hiring spindoctors and winning elections instead of focusing on the actual problems. Is this the reason that the government is not focusing on the long term problems ?
Im chilled, it is getting cold in here..

the oddest thing occured to me a couple of weekends ago. I was wearing my “original” www.one.org wristband ( make poverty history campaign) ( the lower wristband on the pic saying “one” ) especially imported from the states for the purpose of the campaign and my lovely cousin had a faux wristband saying ” make poverty history”…

confused ? then see this :

I think it is great that people are copying the bracelets, even though I sincerely hope the money is collected for the “ONE” campaign… somehow I doubt it..

BUT still, it is better that people hear about “make poverty history ” from one to one ( the way they wish for it to spread) instead of not being heard at all..

ohh and if anybody is interested in receiving a free original “one” wristband… I have 5 at home I would like to give away for free.. just leave a comment or I will bring them to the infamous geek dinner as gifts !

heck, lets set up a tombola and bring our old teddybears !

Uhh a new conference I have to attend ! DAC 2005- I am allready submitted as participant ( initiator of Prograes) and Thomas ( from “as I raise my head to broadcast“) are going as well as designer from our project holding company.
December is looking crowded so far.. I also have a geek dinner in London to attend with Hugh and Scoble!

and a reminder of the Copenhagen Geek Dinner is also in place !

come on guys join us !

always wanted to do that headline, so here it is..

tell me all your old handle’s and I will tell you mine..

in the old internet days ( I guess we are talking 1996) I started out chatting ( like all other danish teenagers) at forum.dk…

my very first handle was “cuppa” ( it’s english slang for cup of .. something.. )
then along came “gandour” ( an arabic chewing gum.. lasted for years.. )
then I switched to “Evelyn Normal” ( also my alter Ego on stage in my punk band …were in 1999 now)
then came “Pippi Carlas largas ” ( or Pippi Longstocking if you will)
then I switched back to “Evelyn Normal”
then I became “touteencore”
then “redsoda”.. which I still am most places on the net…
then back to Evelyn Normal”
now I call my self Go Kitty Go.. or Redsoda or Evelyn Normal.. she will always be a part of me I guess..

so what are your handles ?

listen… (uh ah uh ah uuuuh) do you want to hear a secret ?

I am going to the bank next week to get some money for my new project: a consultancy business specializing in conferences, PR, blogvertising and new media.

why do I know I can do this ?
