BBQ & BEER

How could I forget

My fellow and main act in this sitcom! Been with her for 2,5 years and seems to work out just fine. The only thing I don´t like about her is the white tail. Why couldn´t it be black? I will go out and prepare the BBQ. Just got another great idea. Fellow strategist I will keep you updated.

Blurry - but people want it!

Sorry for the resolution and quality. I didn´t give you a morning snap into my wardrobe, but here comes my uniform for today. I stick to brands I like. Therefore I´m wearing a pair of Vans (suede and Orange). A pair of shoes I spotted in the streets of Copenhagen and bought them on flatspot afterwards. My pants are from NN07, just like the ones I was wearing monday. These are just blue. The T-shirt is from American Apparel. Cheap and great quality. Bought in Berlin. The size is XL...

The sunglasses = an old timer. I will keep you posted. The weather is awesome today and I will be opening the balcony tonight. It´s time for some barbecue and beers... I had some help to create the logo for the up-coming event/thing I can´t reveal yet. But damn it looks cool. Thanks to the animal for helping me out on this one.

What Google Analytics can do

I just checked stats for today. Again I´m proud to announce an amazing thing happening: Someone from Uganda visited my blog. It made me think of Coming to America. It rocks - Prinz aus Zamunda.

I`m exhausted, filled with plenty of interesting thoughts of how to approach the digital world. Just do it!

Tennis...

Just been playing tennis for the first time in almost 8 months. It felt good. I´m still on with my old rackets and my old shoes. But I got talent!

Now I´m off for Dyrehaven to discuss business opportunities with my fellow digital strategists. That´s all for now. See you sooner than you think!

This is my Boss

Next to my boss is Sponge Bob, that broke his leg, but he´s still standing. A true survivor.

A bit blurry

But this is where I work. My spot. Looks very millenium like. The coffee is from the machine. I prefer that, very comfy and easy to access.

Today I´m wearing

I will be conservative dressed today. It didn´t take me plenty of time to put together the clothing recipe for this tuesday.

Again, I`m wearing a pair of Vans. I´ve switched from Chinos to some old, and very used jeans from Tiger. The shirt is from COS (bought in Berlin) and the shirt underneath is from H&M. I want to show you the watch I´m wearing today (and everyday). It´s from Casio, bought in Tokyo for around 10$. Very classic and I like it.

Better get of to work - I will keep you posted! Have an awesome day...

Goodmorning people!

When I woke up this morning I felt like this.

Now I feel like this.

Maybe it´s time for my morning coffee fix.

Me, Myself & Thomas Edison

Just saw on linkedin somebody quoting Thomas Edison: "Hell, there are no rules here, we are trying to accomplish something." It reminded me of my blog post and a blog post from ana andjelic summarizing: "The only rule in digital is that there are no rules." Again, it made me think of a quote I read in groundswell. "There is no one right way to engage with the groundswell". That´s what makes it so damn mind-blowing and frustrating all at once, but shouldn´t be an excuse not to have a social media strategy. Actually, I wasn´t suppose to discuss this now, but hey there are no rules.
I think I will grab a goodnight beer. To celebrate a successful monday. Before I will be closing my black bible, I want to share the only practical thing I have been up to today. I have an outdoor balcony (sounds royal); the best invention for someone living in the city. I´ve been giving it some oil, and finally today I got the furnitures and plants out. Not the most complicated task, I know. It´s ready for the season yr. 2009. Look.

Todays bedtime story - now I will go to sleep. Or maybe I should read the book that lies next to my bed.

Today is the greatest day

I just checked stats for today. Google Analytics if anyone would like to know. This is huge. Somebody searching for Russian Rock Blog got directed to my blog - and on a monday. Certainly the most important victory in my blogging career. Halleluja...

Here I am again

I´ve been busy all day. Client meeting far, far away from Copenhagen. A colleague showed me this. Check it out. I think it´s cool. We did a small experiment at the office today. It´s called augmented reality apparently.

Meet me

I forgot to introduce myself. Meet me. Christian - lives in Copenhagen; I´m passionate about work, cyberspace, music, some work out and some other stuff. Wow, what a unique and extraordinaire person! Maybe I am. This week will show. I think the coming week will be very busy, and I will try to be as updated as possible via all reasonable connections. I`m striving to be superconnected. Today I´m wearing a Ralph Lauren shirt, a pair of NN07 chinos, my blue (relative new) vans shoes, a Cheap Monday jacket and a pair of fake Rayban sunglasses. I will hit my Raleigh bike now. Hooray...

My morning run

Just been for a morning run. Normally, I run three times a week. It makes me feel good and my performance (I believe) during the day is much better. I get more energy. I´m actually training for Copenhagen Marathon that takes place end of may. It is really ambitious, since I haven´t been following a tight training programme. The morning trip is usually around Soendermarken. Today I´m wearing my hoodie from H&M, my pants I bought when trained for Vasaloppet, and my Adidas trainers. I`m always listening to music during my run. At the moment I´m really into Doves. Kingdom of Rust is a great album.

Just another thought

I`ve started to read Groundswell - until now a very interesting and useful book. For those of you that don´t know what the groundswell is (I didn´t know it) it´s defined as:

"A social trend in which people use technologies to get the things they need from each other, rather than from traditional institutions like corporations."

But, what I wanted to share with you is a quote from the back of the book. I think it´s very precisely said on the coming challenges (or obstacles) larger corporations will meet concerning social technology.

"The first phase of the Internet was about getting everyone connected. In this next phase, which changes the way we work, live, play, and learn, we´re starting to realize the value of those connections as well as the new communications and experiences those interactions lead to - the human network." - John T. Chambers, Chairman and CEO, Cisco

Most people are on Facebook and Myspace, more and more people are joining Twitter, we experience a growth in number of people blogging. We´re on our way to be connected, and now it´s time for corporations to figure out how to navigate within the field of technology and people. Most CEOs, CMOs etc. know they need to be present, but they don´t quite know why and how to. I think cookipedia is a brilliant example of this. A corporation using the term beta to cover up the missing social strategy. It got me thinking of how forrester classifies the segments they are dealing with in order to approach the groundswell in the right way. Corporations simply need to have a social technology strategy. I think there is an important task waiting for agencies, consulants, corporations to at first getting an understanding of the value of those connections, and the only way to succeed is through co-operation.
