Årstiden er kommet, hvor man skal undgå alle medier. Lamme artikler, genudsendelser og fjogede sommerværter på Red Bull.
Træk stikket ud og bliv havemand, vandmand, vildmand, grillmand eller bogorm.
Du kan også vælge blot at lade tomheden fylde dig op… Go’ sommer = mondofunza.com er tomhed det næste stykke tid…
I 1999 havde min kollega Anders K og jeg en ide på Harddisken. Telefonbokse over hele byen og på Roskilde Festivalen, hvor man kunne gå ind og skrige til et kamera, som automatisk uploadede ens skrig til websitet skrig.dk. Vi fik aldrig ført den ud i livet, men memet levede åbenbart videre for at blive til virkelighed på årets Roskilde Festival: Karin Høgh blogger om det.
NEW YORK — Digg.com, a Web site that ranks and displays news items based on recommendations from its users, is expanding to include video and topics beyond technology.
Currently, users are limited to posting and reading items on security, digital music, robots and other tech-related categories. Beginning Monday, they’ll get world, business and entertainment news
as well, along with non-news video. Games and science also will break out of the general technology section.
Users also will get more options for sorting and displaying items.
An amazing new instrument, but where can I hear it?

E-newspapers just around the corner. Really

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The newspapers of the future - cheap digital screens that can be rolled up and stuffed into a back pocket - have been just around the corner for the last three decades.
But as early as this year, the future may finally arrive. Some of the world’s top newspapers publishers are planning to introduce a form of electronic newspaper that will allow users to download entire editions from the Web on to reflective digital screens said to be easier on the eyes than light-emitting laptop or cellphone displays.
Flexible versions of these readers nay be available as early as 2007.”

I wrote this several months ago attending the Transmediale in Berlin. It somehow stayed stuck in my drafts folder. Well here it is, some random notes on the grand old man of electronic music:
Presentation by the pioner in electronic music the Frenchman Jean Jacques Perrey. A very joyful elderly gentleman.
He was a musician already at the age of four - the accordion. French chanson kinda stuff. He shows pictures of his childhood and youth. There is a picture of him meeting the creater of the ondioline. And we hear an example. He played three shows on the luxury steamer France on the Atlantic on the way to USA. He made a record to put people to sleep “and it worked”.
He was also a friend of Django Reinhard.
Around the world in 80 ways was the name of Perrey’s show. His friend Edith Piaf told him to go to America to get the success he deserved. Piaf found him a sponsor. Two weeks later he received planetickets by mail. He had a studio with 4-track recording equipment in New York and his sponsor gave it to him. In 1962 he met Walt Disney. Also Angelo Badalamenti in the sixties, they worked together on doing a commercial for Esso. In two channel stereo.
The In Sound From Way Out. His most famous record. Harry Brewer.
Perrey wanted to be the Spike Jones of electronic music. He did a tour with Bob Moog in Scotland. Lots of humor and he taught Perrey to play the Moog. He did some records with it.
Elektronics. His first sampler was analog. He cut up tapes with a razorblade and spliced them together to construct loops. a full node 8 centimeters.- halfnode four centimeters etc. And then he played along with the loops. The loop made the rhythm.
Trine-Maria skriver om selvcensur. Har vi den ikke alle? Og handler det ikke blot om at få sig et alter ego i blogosfæren, hvis man absolut VIL fortælle alt. Minder mig om John Perry Barlow fra Electronic Frontier Foundation, da vi interviewede ham i Harddisken way back: Jeg fortæller alt, sagde han. Om stoffer og det hele. Jo færre hemmeligheder du har, desto mindre kan “de” ramme dig.
Total åbenhed, men hvis man skal tro Trine-Marie og artiklen i New York Times, som hun refererer, så lukker det i den grad også døre at være SÅ åben og ærlig.
Læs i den sammenhæng interviewet med forfatteren Knud Romer Jørgensen i Berlingske M/S fra i går søndag. Han fortæller, hvordan han begik kommercielt selvmord i den danske reklamebranche for at få frihed til at kæmpe mod sine indre dæmoner. Interessant. Og i øvrigt hamrende velskrevet interview.
Din kommende chef bruger Google og læser din weblog!: “
New York Times skriver i artiklen: For Some, Online Persona Undermines a Résumé , at flere og flere rekrutteringsfolk i større virksomheder søger efter ansøgernes profiler på nettet i sociale netværkstjenester som My Space og Facebook.
Mange af ansøgerne er færdige studerende, som indtil for en måneds tid siden har levet et helt almindeligt kollegie-liv, med alt hvad det indebærer af larm og druk.
Desværre forstår rekrutteringsfolk ikke altid, at bare fordi man kører 2 på en cykel ned ad en trappe fra 2. sal (for at checke, om man egentlig kan, efter 12 Bacardi Breezers) betyder det ikke nødvendigvis, at man vil gøre det samme på lederseminaret i næste måned:
At New York University, recruiters from about 30 companies told career counselors that they were looking at the sites, said Trudy G. Steinfeld, executive director of the center for career development.
‘The term they’ve used over and over is red flags,’ Ms. Steinfeld said. ‘Is there something about their lifestyle that we might find questionable or that we might find goes against the core values of our corporation?’
Det sjove er at rådene i artiklen IKKE handler om, at de unge mennesker skal holde op med at ryge og drikke, men om, at de skal beskytte deres profiler/weblogs med adgangskoder - eller holde op med at skrive om alle de pinlige ting.
Man kunne vel også argumentere for at rekrutteringsfolkene skulle vænne sig til, at det de ansætter, er mennesker? Gad vide om de ikke selv har været unge og boet på kollegie og drukket en øl for meget og pralet af deres tømmermænd?
Og hvis man ikke tør skrive om sin egen idioti på sin weblog, så tør man vel heller ikke skrive om de virkelig alvorlige former for idioti man møder senere? For eksempel den tåbelige chef og de bureaukratiske strukturer, der dræner virksomheden for kreativitet og gør, at man har mere lyst til at køre på cykel hele vejen ned fra 13. etage, end at deltage i næste afdelingsmøde?
