How to Become an Early Riser

Monday, March 27th, 2006

I have several times tried to become an early riser just to gain more time to write, but I’ve never had much success. And then I find this quite serious and at the same time quite weird blog of Steve Pavlina, who experiments with sleeping patterns. He sleeps less and less, but he is more energetic and productive than ever.

How to Become an Early Riser
May 23rd, 2005 by Steve Pavlina
It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.
- Aristotle

Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I rarely went to bed before midnight, and I’d almost always sleep in late. I usually didn’t start hitting my stride each day until late afternoon.

But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high correlation between success and rising early, even in my own life. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher, not just in the morning but all throughout the day. And I also noticed a significant feeling of well-being. So being the proactive goal-achiever I was, I set out to become a habitual e”

Folkets stemme: “MEDIEKOMMENTAR:
Podcasting er for alvor ved at vinde fodfæste i Danmark

‘De store statskanalers monopol på meningsdannelsen er forbi. For i fremtiden kommer vi alle til at have vores egen radiostation.’

Så svulstige er ordene fra ‘Djævlens Advokat’, en ny podcast, der vil angribe sine emner og interviewpersoner ud fra en liberal grundholdning. Formen er en P1-kopi, hvor indholdet får ros og skaber debat på http://advokaten.wordpress.com, men den tekniske udførelse halter. Og det skriver jeg ikke for at nedgøre de to producenter bag podcasten. Mange andre podcasts lider også under dårlig teknisk kvalitet, for lyd er nu engang sværere end skrift, ligesom tv er sværere end radio. Hvis man vil beherske hele fødekæden vel at mærke. Og det skal man, hvis man vil podcaste.

I 1926 skrev den tyske for…”

Ellevte episode - Mediesnak med Henrik Føhns (Jacobs podcast)

Friday, March 24th, 2006

Jacob Bøtter var forbi og interviewe mig til sin podcast. En lang snak om medier, globalisering og navlepilleri:

Ellevte episode - Mediesnak med Henrik Føhns (Jacobs podcast): “Ellevte episode - Mediesnak med Henrik Føhns
Her indleder jeg min første føljeton, startet på baggrund af mit interview med Anders Høeg Nissen. Det handler om medier, ikke nødvendigvis nye medier, men i højere grad mediernes nye rolle.

Som en start er jeg draget ud til Henrik Føhns, journalist igennem 20 år som derudover blogger og podcaster. I hans daglige arbejde fungerer han som redaktør på Samvirke. Vi taler om hvorfor danskerne ikke er hoppet på den store blogging bandwaggon, hvordan medierne stiller sig overfor det og trækker en masse parelleler til hvad der er sket før i tiden. En lang, men spændende, snak som giver et godt grundlag til mange flere diskussioner.

Dan Turélls hash udstilles på Politihistorisk Museum

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

dr.dk › Nyheder › Kultur › Dan Turélls hash udstilles på Politihistorisk Museum

The hash left behind by the late Danish author Dan Turéll in 1993 and ten years later confiscated by the police, when his widow wanted to sell his belongings by auction, can now be seen on display at the museum of Danish policehistory at Faelledvejen in Copenhagen. 11 gramme to be exact. I don’t know if he was ever translated into English. But he was the closest Denmark ever came to a beat poet. Apart from his friend Peter Laugesen of course.

I bike by every day. Maybe tomorrow I will go see the “rygeklump” of Uncle Danny and pay my due respect. He did some wonderfull and very witty poems about Buddha.
