I have been in love with this joke – and all the irony and the spot on selfironic jokes about the ventures business.. But darn – Gary lost it this year ;( – or maybe there is just no more to say…

If u – like me – have trouble understanding the Subprime Crises – Rushkoff carves it out here

I meet this guys at Reboot 1999 – and never forgot about him. Follow his blog

I have been trying to do business in Russia or a long time – and I have not been succesfull. Im so chicken (scared) that I did not dare to go there 7years ago when the REAL BIG OPPERTUNIES.

But now – it look like we are going in…. :) – to be continued.

Once again I have had a good talk with two of the best Danish tech thinkers – Mygdal and Nyholm (weird that they are nw real grown up men – with kids :) . But it has really made me think A LOT – here is a sketch of what I might think i do…

I did not see this – until today – Apples performance is 3 times better – that is insanely beautifull.

I had to do his deeper post on this event. And first of all give the deepest of all respect to the team. Its the most welldone conference I ever attended.

Program – was really worked trough – better then any other conference iI attended this year.

Speakers – the best i could imagine (Only Mygdal an Reeboot can match it – but Reboots problem is always that I dont understand how cool the speakers are until 2-3yeras later). I Still dont really understand what I do in this crowd. I must say that I had expected a REAL SUPERSTAR – Bono, Sergey, Larry or Jobs…

Food – was fantastic (above fantastic)
(Its not Loics fault that the waiters are working according to French law and rules – and have no problem looking right trough you :)

Attendees – the crowd was THE BEST AND MOST INTERNATIONAL possible.

Loic – the energy and charm beats everyone. I still have to see the brilliant intelectual and business man – but Im very sure he is inside the Showman, Blogger, Father, Husband, Frechman without attitude (nice!), International Connector, Feinschmecker (there is a whole extra dimension to this guy – the blogosphere dont know), Politician (he did help Sarkozy – is invited to the whitehouse – and had him at last year LeWeb), Entrepanuer (history shows) and most of a überNetworker. Im so impressed.
So why dont I believe in the large conference format. Well I just think its to big and non personal – and I saw a lot of people who looked a bit lonely among the big crowd (I dare to refer to Sartre – my first and probobly last ever littertre reference). And I have to say that even I – salesman and pumped with selfconfdence – felt a little strange walking next to all these superstars I know from Blogs/Videos/Twitter/Etc – and where so so busy talking to eachother – Calacanis, Scoble…. (Guys I have even been emaiing with). Size matters ;)

(Thanx Wendel)

Basicly a good conference – for me its fantastic to hag out with like minded people… But Im a little afraid that the “large conference format” i dead.

Postcard made for LeWeb3. Im so afraid of all the people coming with all the talk that will be – and very few people will remember that talk and conferences s max. 5% of doing a business.

PS. I like this very much. Even though I did pass on it.

Well I do oversell some times – but its like being late due to lack of calculations and realism…. Yesterday I posted a deal on Twitter that I had SUPER MUSIC startup shares for sale – and I did get some interest – but NO ONE REALLY HAVE BALLS THEE DAYS. So its now closed for 7-8 months

And now my partners in the business did a demo – that really made my hair sit straigh backwards… Search for “Sexual Healing” (its pretty good – for my smashng bad taste) and lots of people have done a cver version…. For every cover verson you chose – make a “compilation with tracks that have the same “DNA” – AND IT FUCKING WORKS SO MUCH HAT I GOT GOOSE BUMS. Marvin Gaye verson suggests 14 cool slow sexy tracks – Kate Bush version suggests 9 more hardcore and raw – but good tracks…. WOW WOW – Nw I will get a chance to buy music with only clicking on TOP20 and Most Sold… Aso Massive Attack – gave me amasing sugestions that I had NO CLUE I LIKED….

BIG NOTE: Im musically f**ked – and still prefer Whitney Huston, Popmusic, Oasis and U2…

My notes from an amasing 48h San Francisco trip with Rasmus – maybe I shoud go there one day just t be where he competition is the hardest. WOW – at any Cafe you hear people pitching ideas or closing deals – or selling companies…

This morning SF time I spoke in Danish Fåborg via Video – as you see I was a little rusty ;) – and with Chinese “morning eyes” ;)

It was a bit strange to speak with out feeling the audience – but I will ask the Ruparena to comment on it. I got all on about not leting ayone hold you down – and mostly not yourself and your fear of others judgement. (But I have to admit that I was close to cancel the sepaking when I was i my bed here in SF – and got a bit nervous about what all these 19y olds would thin about me – and their teachers and their parrents… Im fucked up :).

Stil cant believe the impact of Youtube – it can only be a matter of time until its the biggest Channel in the world. Lisa has evening with her friends where YouTube is the fun source – its like VJ/DJ’ing…

Someone in Helsingør has put my name on a wall.. (Probobly not mine)

Words are not enough – just watch it

(I would become a client just to support them).

As Im getting older I think its underwhelming that

1) Swedish waiters ad bartenders are even worse then Danish (its off course just because of the welfare) – but its strange that one have to apologize to get early to a Cafe to the staff – who are all mad and morning pissed (and stay pissed all day)…

2) That its so embarasing to have been wrongly charged at the Hotel Movie system – that even I really dont like to complain… :)

3) Its absolutely UNDERWHELMING to see so many BIG COMPANIES not follow compaetition and open the HIGHWAYS OF OPPORTUNITY to young (and old) and worksome risktakers – in the OVERWHELMING technology space called THE INTERNET

4 ) Its underwhelming that NO ONE does better movies – with the low price of production and the easy access to editing on a PC. In Denmark – HE GOVERNEMENT pay 40% of ANY HALF GOOD MOVIE IDEA – and you cant even imagine the amount of crab comming out – its UNDERWHELMING.

5) Im underwhelmed that I wrote this – in stead of celebrating life… But Im a bit down – and complain about 1000% more then normally…

I know its such a kliche (like everything else in my life) – but im really addicted to running.

I feel GOOD
I controle my weight
I get high – and keep my short term memory ;)
I really feel that my body works better – and recovers better
Im less agressive … :-/

Im soo impressed with Nike and the way they have cornered all this – ANYTHING ACCESSORIES.

Being a “5min attentionspan guy” – Im just very afraid of loosing this new hobby….
