So apparently, all it takes to get me blogging is for someone to quote me in a decent blog post. Lars did that, and I felt I needed to give my two cents.

Twitter me this

I answered a question on Twitter tonight. The question was something to the effect of ‘how would you like to see politicians use Twitter’ and my answer was something to the effect of ‘whichever way works best for them’.

[UPDATE]: scratch the liive-blogging thing. doing a bit of video instead.
I’ve already blogged about Copenhagen Twestival over at Re: but I thought I’d give a shout out to the project and the two great Danes who spearhead the event here at appoulsen.dk as well (nice one guys – you ROCK).

365 days
928 uploads to Flickr
Some 40 videos on Vimeo
A facebook page
A blog of his very own
A whole new set of worries
A whole new outlook on life and love

Happy b-day Alvin.
Your dad loves you very much.

I really wasn’t going to write about Obama

Since the rest of the world seems to be doing it 24/7 these days. In fact, I’ve kinda had it with the hype (don’t get me wrong. I agree. The right guy won. History is made. Change and hope and all that).
