I just got a new hero (or kind of – not in the Bono league) Y Combinator

UPDATE: I will buy a nice small building in Copenhagen and copy the concept. – well if Mr. Kennner will agree off course :)

Yesterday I spend at home with the kids (plus one of Lauras kindergarten friends) – having 3 meetings at home with partners and friends during the day – and 2 meetings out of the house in the late afternoon. I cant even express how extremely lucky and happy I feel when everything seems to FIT: Family, Friends, Work, Bizz and Mentalhealth. Im NOT stating that Im mentally healthy – my ambitions and extreme eager to do business ventures – has been categorized by my psychologist as: Pure Out of Controle Gambling obsession ;). But darn – Im happy to have not big difference between the different aspects of life. Maybe Im also even more happy – since I see good traction in my endless amount of crazy projects.

Dear valued reader: ;) – enjoy the weekend

This guy is crazy – and lives very well from it.

Forbes-toppen – so rich is he from the sucks ass swedish site DagensPS.
Funny thing is that yesterday I had lunch with Richard Bunck – the overne of Danmarks biggest distribution company and a national free sunday paper – who had stories about Mr. Ikea (Kamrad) 20 years ago – calling him on sundays to check ho the distribution of the Ikea catalog in Denmark went ;).
Lesson: We all start from scratch – and tis guy has become number 4 rich globally – in a EXTREMELY comptitive market – just by being HARDWORKING and STREETSMART.

JAJAH – web activated telephony interesting Voip play – or should I say connection play. Problem: Idont remember any numbers… (via take off phenomenon.

Spoke at a Incubator Conference today. ‘

O’Reilly Radar > Entrepreneurial Proverbs -> just do it – stay realistic – say sorry – and trust your luck :)

Evaluations of small ideas are back at DOT COM HEY DAY LEVELS – and everything seems to have a Skype flavour these days – at least for the press Skype Funders Back AllPeers

Why didn?t I hear about this one until knoe ?The Corporation : Film

What the fuck is happening – why can Apple go an be in all cornersat the same time – when samsung cant? – where is the whole banking sector gonna go ? Will Kodak survive ? Telcos are still insanely evaluated even though OIP is eating their les and arms (foreign minutes) ? Will eCommerce B2C and even B2SMB change 100% ? Who will win the in the dying Automotive industry (imagine the iPod of Cars) – could there be a future for public transport ?? Darnn – I wanna be into those things that will change – but I have no clue ;) – so conclusion: Morten you have to keep shooting – like a John Wayne with a brand new Winchester.

PS. I will NEVER go into weapons.

Yesterday we all went to the “Passifier tree” – where Linus said goodbye to his beloved paifiers. Crazy tradition – but seems to work (we only had to give him once this afternoon). (For the non parents: Kids gets? VERY BAD teeth postiiton from using pasifiers and therefor they must be stopped)

I just got this Red Herring article – The Vorlds hottest PC? – about Asad from ePlanet. This guy is very cool and Im very sure he hasent done hes last big kill. All though I have to say that my biggest VC HERO will stay Tim Draper – tMr. Tricker finger – with asecond to none good nose for business. Not only because of Hotmail, Skype… More because of all his small private deals like Oddpost and eFriendsNet.

Im getting a little afraid of the speed at LundKenner – my new venture. Well I hevent really released anything on yet / but yesterday I did change my email adress from BullGuard to LundKenner. And just after pleying (working with Soren Kenner) for only 5 months – get this feeling that the speed migth be a bit to agressive: BullGuard skyrocking, Maxthon hitting 50mio downloads, Play65 kicking ass, Gekko going bulistic, IIP, Haleca, Aresa going public…. Opening in Amsterdam, tel Aviv, Delhi, Beijing and soon Rio and hopefully Russia…. Mummmmmy Im not sure I know how to controle the skies.

Well it simple – not easy.

Sorry to waite your time – dear valued reader – with my worries.

Saturday most f the LundKenner crowd will be having a opening party at L43 *3 room hotel in Amterdam / Im very much looking forward. Duco the owner is tha mann / enjoy the pictures. And spread the word

RSS is just amazing – for filteringinformation – here u get 23 tips from
Chicago Tribune | Eric Zorn

Web20 and WebTools is gonna be everything – not just hype. The thing is that all kinds of business can be redone – with VERY SIMPLE STUFF. And I have to mention the 37Signal guys – I think they can be a tread to SAP on the longer run.I just hope so much they will stay independent.

Ive seen a lot people in my tons of ventures – and since it all comes down to sales when businesses succeed I must mention Rasmus Visby – the killer of all sales guys – running BullGuard Nordic. – this .crazy radio spotshows his endless commitment. (Im no too fan of the spot it self – but looove the execution).

Suddenly I understood that US is using 3bio$ a day (on wars and cashback deals on cars) – and that 45% of the money comes from issuing bonds to China and Japan. That must become a fu….. big poblem over time. Specially if the whole american idea of building a country on intelectual property(patents, entertainment, software…) fails. (But no wonder they throw a 100mio$ now and then to enforce intelectual property into countries like India and Brazil).

Why the f… do i think about stuff like this – well maybe Im getting old.

35% of the salesforce in the medical indutry in US – seems to be former Cheerleaders.

Buble is so back – 4mio? into Papardolls
