Im scared - really danm scared. As I wrote some weeks ago - the banks dont call their bad dept (keep your head up). This weekend I saw the worst possible thing: A GOOD and HEALTHY real eastate company (400mioEUR was injected and 600mioEUR lent) - was forced into bankrupsy bacause one of the smaller loans was called from a suffering bank - this will mean that we are ONLY SEING THE TIP ICE THE FINANCIAL TSUNAMI.

Have a great day - and think about something positive / PLEASE!!

Im in a weird stage of my life - so insecure and jet so full of power and new ideas and hope for the post financial crisis… At Leweb I tried not to say anything planned - just talk from the top of my brain.

And I have to say that I get so nervous everytime - but love the effect everytime - 50-100 emails from people who where moved (felt a change in their life) from my silly ideas…

This fantastic Lady (Danish Journalist and blogger and my friend) has been digging up the biggest IT scandal in Danish history - and I really want to show my deepest respect and regret that I did not help her more when she was on the track of IT Factorys founder Stein Baggers highly criminel setup (100mio$ leasing and interbilling loop). Im simply to naiv to see fraud when its just in front of my eyes. And since Im a close friend of Asger Jensby (we had wine and talked about how fantastic the company was - last wednesday) - I simply wanted to believe in the story - despite the fact that NO ONE WANTED TO SHOW ME THE SOFTWARE. Mygdal and Nyholm and Albertsen have all been extremely negative from the very early beginning - and I only know Stein from spinning classes - never talked to him.

Biggest respect to Dorte Toft - because she has handled this with elegance and not like an ego boost.  And also think I know her well enough to believe that she had a dream inside (as all of us) that it was not fake - and that Denmark could have a new TECH SUPERSTAR making 62mioEUR profit this year and 110mioEUR next year… BUT NO - so sad and so psyked…

CNN is showing something as unTV’ish as can be - they are celebrating a good stories and good people. No killings and disaster tonight!!!!! Heroes is all about normal people who makes a difference - read more at CNN.com/heroes

And also read about the worlds coolest (and luckiest) nanny…

And suddenly I remember the founder of CNN - Mr. UberCOOL - Ted Turner:

In 1998, Turner pledged to donate $1 billion of his then $3 billion to United Nations causes, and created the United Nations Foundation to administer the gift. The foundation “builds and implements public-private partnerships to address the world’s most pressing problems, and broadens support for the UN through advocacy and public outreach.” In 2006, the foundation delivered its billionth dollar to UN causes — $600m of which came from Turner and $400m from public and private partners. Turner has pledged to use the remaining $400m of his commitment to leverage additional funds for UN causes and activities.

Sime.nu in Stokholm was a fantastic event for the online and new media industry - the energy is second to none - and ONLY Ola Alverson (and his energy bomb team) can give this event to SPARK as it does… AMASING. 1200 people showing up in the middle of ressesion - and all smiles and power to change is just fantastic.

I spoke first time at Sime 1998 - and I love the show and profesionalism SO MUCH.

Here is some of the video (wacked crazy as it is)

Kevin Kelly (co-founder of Wired) is one of the best technology thinkers and bloggers - this is how I would like to blog getting VERY QUALIFYED RESPONSE.

I have been growing up with butchers and new rich people instantly bying B&O - as soon as the had the chance - and the high flyers had a B&O-LINK system (interhouse). It is a minimum 20.000$ investment - and you need to really be B&O geeky to use it… Now - with music on all devices - PC, Mac, Phones, iPods - it even more relevant with a system for the whole house - and there are 4-5 systems that seems good like

Sonos Digital Music System VERY EXSPENSIVE
Logitech Squize Box DID NOT REALLY WORK WHEN I TRIED

But as (always) Apple seems to be most simple and first - iTunes in mind - but Airport Express and iPhone with Remote Access is simple and not that expensive. WOW - see this simple Apple tutorial Video

This FT article is tough shit

PLEASE WATH THIS VIDEO

This is probobly the best pratical joke ever - and most sizeable..

The TheYesMen.org (UPDATED) made 1,2mio copies of a fake and VERY POSITIVE version of New York Times - and distributed them yesterday. Stating that the war in Iraq is over, ads telling that all the bad guy companies in Iraq will know help USA with building infrastructure…. READ the full story here

This a true example on people who ACT - dont talk…

A chat with Peter a my room
The Pirate Bay has 60% of all BitTorrent trafic - and BitTorrent trafic is 80% of all internet trafic. Im nearly lost my ears when i heard that. (Im getting really handicapped - no legs no arms and now..)

A chat with Dan Dubno on the street
There probobly where some weapons of massdistruction in Iraq - and they where distributed to the countries around… (scary). More scary is the fact that - due to the extreme speed of developement in technology and knowledge sharing - its proboly gonno be very possible to make a Nuclear Bomb in 10 years… And scientists have geneticly modyfied human shit to smell like banana… (sorry Dear Reader its not nice info) - but the point from Dan D is that chemical warfare posibilities will be CRAZY OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS- imagine a chimical injected into water in Israel that would make all men sterile (SCARY - but scientist can do it (Dan is pretty/very much jewish thereor this example - darn Im turning political correct/afraid)….

Lunch with Nobert Teufelberger, CEO BWIN
Nobert made it pretty clear to me that Deutche Bank would have gone down if AIG would not have been saved by the bail out plan.. Also I got a lot of interesting knowledge about the worlds number one gambling brand (sponsor at Real Madrid and Milan) - but I can tell :)… (sorry)

18th of October I uploaded this photo to Facebook via my BlackBerry - while walking in NYC - and asked the question:

What does this refer to?
Yesterday Casper (a Facebook friend answered) - and today Sam followed up - this really shows the power of these social networks - Im really seing and feeling BIG VALUE here!! The knowledge of your network becomes active and alive. WOW WOW WOW…

THE ANSWERS:

Casper Andrea wrote at 12:10pm yesterday It will have to be “Let them eat cake” (qu’ils mangent de la brioche). Said by Maria Theresa (French queen) during the french revolution. When a messenger told Marie that her people were starving due to bread shortage, she replied… “Let them eat cake…”. Hope this helps? :) Delete

I’m so ever impressed with Google Applications - www.google.com/a - and this blogpost show why

Im using it for Mail, Controling family mail, Writing docs, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Blogs…. Im nearly not using The Office Suite anymore…

One question: “How’s it hanging over there in Redmond?”

Here is a good and SUPER inspirring presentation of a potential next users interface… Weird how conservartive we users are… I just love when I see someone presenting his product - being proud like a king !!

Dear Valued Readers

NOTE: IM STILL VERY OPTIMISTIC: Keep the entrepreneurial spirit HIGH - its the perfect time to build and start fantastic companies - all the wannabes are gone - and drive can take you anywhere in this depressive finacial climate!!

TO MY POINT: Im not at all into stocks and not an expert (in anything) - but since Im spending most of my time with people at the higher end of the financial latter - I have decided to post the key points I have deciede to believe in - with a in this financial tsunami.

ON THE NEGATIVE

1) The national bailout plans seems to be very good in short term (and thank you to USA for bringing financial socialism back - its great fun to meet with all my ultra literalistic friends) - but be aware that its NOT necessarily a safe solution. It could easily be like peeing in the pants to get warm - since its also subsidizing VERY BAD BANKS that should have been shut down.
(The problem is that you cant see the good from the bad when you legislate troughout a whole sector).

2) Be aware of insane interest rates - since the bonds (behind mortgage loans) around the world that are about to be reissued - probably will have no (or very few) buyers - the interest of these can very likely explode.
*A mortgage loan is a loan secured by real property through the use of a mortgage

3) Be carefull with Bank stocks - I have seen a very clear pattern here in small Denmark - the banks are only calling the midsize trouble clients who have REAL VALUE in their arrangements (say 50% or more in real value) since they:

• a - get real money out of it
• b - take only a limited hit on they ballance = yearly reports = their stock.
• c - they only look moderately stupid

The banks try to do nothing (or areextremly carefull) - or even slightly hide the midsize clients in deep trouble with no real value (lets say a smalltime realesate developer with 2-3 buldings and 100% loan finansing) - since

• a - get NO money out of it
• b - take 100% hit on their ballance = yearly reports = stock.
• c - only ULTIMATELY stupid - and probobly breach the original idea of being a bank.

ON THE POSSITIVE SIDE
Buy compnaies dept (bonds) - they are 50% down in price and pay a fantastic interest - but remember its risky!!

The ba

Quote: “You not naive enough to believe we live in a democracy - buddy - its the free market” - the whole world have been believing in this bullshit from an old movie…. wow.

If someone had just shown this to Greenspan - he might not have been Greenspank now… But very straight and a real person (just shows that controle is beyond hard)- Quote: “I did not really get it”…see interview

PS. the real gaga was around last week when lost of big funds wnated the markets closed for 1-2 weeks - until stability would be around - but hey - no one asked for that after yesterdays US stocks 11% up…

Someone (maybe me) did this very simple to inspire and kick start your inner entrepreneur… Everyone and his dog is talking about recession - and NEARLY EVERYONE is HIT. But lets turn it upside down - this is the period of time where opportunity is MAX.

WARNING: its simple - not original / copy / paste / emotional.

Linus asked me “what can Robots do - are they real…” Hard question! Well - they can do nearly anything you can tech them - but cleaning your room might be difficult - but on the other hand they can play soccer… And they are used for industry - and for nerds to play with. A bit scary this movie - but also a proof of the trust we (engineres) have in these machines… And there is a fine line between real and dream with robots - watch this

I seldomly get really impressed with websites - but here is an eyeopener to USERINTERFACE+CONTENT+MAGIC - all in one. (You have to update Flash - but its SO WORTH IT). And OK - I admit it - Im a big Oasis fan.

I was speaking at the Art Directors Club in Berlin last week - and I got really passionate after a Speakers Dinner at a fantastic club the night before. These guys are all - smart - clever - good at thinking creatively and really (most of them) born to make change. (And they where mostly very cool - but - well - 30% of them not really proud of their work). So I gave this pretty hard - for germany - short pre presentation.

My bonus - was to meet Ralf Schmerberg - the guy behind this amassing Nike Video and the fantastic Dropping Knowledge (enjoy the start video). Im really moved by his way of looking at things - and the impact his visuals have…
