Month August 2005

Happiness at work

In the same vein as the previous post: what I’ve been so stressed about the last 24 hours and the reason why I didn’t get my full nights sleep (making me somewhat grouchy) – the final editing of a series of filmed lectures about happiness at work.

Heh. The irony of it all.

Lifehack

If I weren’t so busy and stressed out, I would go read the articles at Lifehack.org – “Daily digest and pointer on productivity, getting things done and lifehacks“.

Language upgrade

Well, here goes. Hold your horses. As from now, the primary language of this weblog will be English.

I think.

Is the ambition.

The thought of switching has led to intense self-scrutiny, has caused mild anxiety attacks and is not something I take lightly. I’m not saying that I possess the means to make myself as comprehensible as I did in Danish, but, if all goes well, it will extend the conversational space and lube up some of those connectivity-dynamics. Besides, I do 99% of my reading in English, most of the webtools I use have English interfaces, and finally it might put back that creative distance in my writing I felt I had, when I was blissfully unaware of readers. For a long time I’ve been censoring myself, because I felt the readers were too close. The chances of meeting some of them here in Copenhagen is quite big, and by changing language, I can act as if they don’t exist anymore.

Drawbacks: reverse engineering of the wordpress-template, an eerie sense of betrayal, and the potential estrangement of existing readers…

Let’s see how it pans out. My tailor is rich.

Blogbot, do you copy?

Blogbot er forsvundet fra radaren. Bekymrende.

Teltpløkkerne rives op igen

Tilbage igen fra en lille ferie, og mit liv er jo en kliché med den så berømte overfyldte inbox, de nye gode idéer der skal kæmpe med den gamle to-do liste, en sværm af mentale skitser til blogpostings, født med potentialet til aldrig at blive skrevet. Så derfor, i stikordsform, nedenfor, hvad jeg gerne ville kunne publicere om, hvis jeg en dag får tid:

  1. Om det at tage på Camping
  2. Om “den kreative klasse“, debat igangsat af Henrik Føhns
  3. Om det at være entreprenør
  4. Lateral tænkning – uddybning af denne post om problemknusning
  5. WordPress workshoppen vi holdt, Joachim og jeg
  6. Film: En introduktion til Istedgade
  7. Podcast: “Stylesheets, Kærlighed og den mulige sammenhæng mellem de to”
  8. Hvordan mit subjekt er defineret af udefrakommende faktorer såsom biologiske, aldermæssige, økonomiske og demografiske fordele
  9. Politik: endelig at have forstået forskellen på idealisme og materialisme
  10. Mine børns fantastiske evne til at generere lykke
  11. Playeren, love of my life (næst efter hende selvfølgelig)
  12. Beslutningen om at udfase den humanistiske ambition om at kunne skrive som Hans-Magnus Enzensberger (her).
  13. Forskellige teorier om hvorfor ægteskaber går i stykker
  14. Om hvordan alting her i livet på en eller anden måde handler om skalerbarhed

Ak ja. Tik-Tok.
