Top 10 Rules

1) Make it only 3 – no one wants to read 10 rules – and no one can remember 10 points – it’s seem that the ten commandments are pretty hard to remember for quite some (I’m no saint)…

2) Spend your time on something more interesting – and if you absolutely HAVE to make top lists then put in losts of links. (Link to something funny and relevant should have been here)…

3) Go to 1 – and do it 3 times and then read #1 again – that makes it 10. (Im not drunk or high!)

Off course there are no rules – we all just want some – to structure the absolute chaos in our lifes. Specially after the internet and EVERYONES free option to publish whatever crab…. Information is bit’ing like mosquitoes by the lake in a hot wet summer – while You are surfing, having your phone on, opening the radio or should you be a twitdictve like me… It’s simply nice to digest from someone else’s list of 10 or whatever list… Just be carefull and be extremely critical – since I know personally that the last 3-4 rules on a top 10 oftenly are a little made up (well that what I do myself) – off course unless I really have something on my hearth.

Michael & Jesus

I dont have a BIG BIG thing with Michael Jackson – well the LP’s – Jackson5 and Thriller where the first ones on my first little stereo in my room from age 9 – and yes I did do some moves in my mirror while I was tying my leather tie… But I have to say that as a father – it’s impossible to overhear that the guy had chosen to payoff 3-4 kids who sued him for doing stuff he should not do to them. It’s not impossible – it makes you want to kill people who molest kids. END OF STORY. Here we have a guy who maybe talked trough God – well he moved all of most of us and he moved like no one else while dancing – and he did have a REALLY WEIRD life – but he also did everything possible to appear strange – changed from black to cast white, swinging a baby over a balcony, having a monkey as a friend and a devine way of dressing as the ultimate king of pop he was.

Looking at his way to danced and his access to the überpassword of our music hearths – it seems that there was a direct connection beyond this earth – but then why the FUCK sleeping with kids in Neverland – KNOWING THE SICK AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEM…

Today I had a lifetime experience in business and people relations. (Ok – I cant talk about it – but I have taken a new job – yes a Job as in 80h workweek). And its much more then carefully selected – I have been 100% true to my rule number one.

RULE #1: No assholes.

Since no company (I ever heard of) has been building itself – I have gone with an extremely smart bunch of guys into something extremely difficult. Off course if 100% disruptive and huge – and potentially big failure – but that’s a given with me (as you prob know by now). These people are just hammering smart and extremely nice and humble – AND not too young AND know what they are doing.

So – today we met with a partner – and I had goosebumps from 20min into the meeting until the end 2h later. Imagine you meet a soulmate/bizzmate – that is just funny, nice, friendly, no attitude – and on top of that has everything you dont have (and will offer it to make thing happen) – AND you can actually make your bizzmate stronger and more profitable with the joint effort. THAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY for the first time in my bizzlife and Im still have a tickling feeling in my stomach and have no clue how I should ever fall a sleep again :) So the rules for a bizz partnership after today:

#2 Hearth driven – Its the only way to change stuff.

#3 Useful – think about partners/people – how they live, work, dream.

#4 Speed – can it be done in this century.

#5 Simple not easy – no mumbo jumbo – everyone really gets it.

#6 Involvement – does everyone have the needed time on hand.

#7 Innovative – no me 2.

#8 Universal – can it really change bizz in the whole world.

#9 Profitable – well we need lots of cash for new newspaper projects :)

#10 Proud – you cant wait to present it to your mum and your son.

CLOUD COMPUTING

I was 100% in chock when I learned how the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation – have been doing a Napster like “industry changing move” on e-procurement. The people behind this MUST get all the awards possible in the world for IMPLEMENTING anup and running alternative to EDS (the OOOLD shit system for companies to exchange invoices) – and breaking the monopoly between IBM, CSC… They simply build an infra structure so smooth and internet driven – that 1bioDKR (around 180mioUSD) in transaction fees disappeared from the BLUECHIP MONOPOLY GUYS – and now everyone can use a FREE OPENSOURCE infrastructure to exchange invoices. IM SO PROUD (not a fan of the Minister (he is like a Nice uncle for the far vest Denmark) – but the people in there are HERO’s). REAL HERO’s. Note: It’s all done in the cloud and has opened my eyes to the revolution just ahead us us – I have been posting about Amazon’s effort in the space before – but have a look at this. Founder Jeff B is a SMART cookie. I will also bable about this in my next post about Masdar…

NEWSPAPER vs ONLINE GOSSIP

Its kind of weird to think about what will happen to journalism when all the newspapers are suffering the way they are – and the money from online news websites are absoluty NOT PAYING THE BILLs. And I must say Im a bit worried when I see how much traffic goes to the gossip websites – Wimbledon being live – means that we get the most silly news about tennis players boobs - is that a sign of whats commming?

FUCK MY TELE-PROVIDER, PLEASE

TDC BAD BAD: ANGER “COSTUMER” MANAGEMENT.

Our national Telco is fucked up and the management should be taken to court for STEELING MONEY VIA FALSE INVOICING . TDC (monopoly danish telco – now owned by 5 private eqt funds who are all suffering from the insane dept the have loaded on our national carrier) have introduced a new pretty innovative product: Triple Play – phone, broadband and TV (on demand work nicely !!). Today the have blackmailed me 100% – by charging 3 technician hours and a weird fee for setup (500USD). And since we do not agree – they have just closed the lines . GREAT.  Then I did a call to their invoicing department – who told me that they would deduct it – because it was not true and not fair. WTF.

I know everyone has had these exspiriences – but it’s a bit new to me.

GOOD: HAPPY “COSTUMER” MANAGEMENT

Yesterday I went to a local store to buy a Tennis racket for me and Linus (we had everything stolen when the car was borrowed by some “guys” in late winther. And the people at the store are the most amasing – real – family feeling – people you can find. No bullshit – good service – and amasing prising. I really HAVE TO RECOMMEND THEM – http://whitesport.dk/ (and I have to say that White is refering to Tennis and Badminton – no race’s stuff involved). Go there.

Enjoy the weather – and remember: There is NOTHING to be afraid of.
