I’m not particularly fond of underground maps used as illustrations – I think the metaphor is a bit worn. But once in a blue moon, someone puts the metaphor to good use, and Information Architects Japan did just that, when they released their web trends 2008 map. Check it out here.

Connecta is no more
As of today, connecta.dk is no longer active. The passing of one URL marks the birth of another. Connecta is now Wemind. The reasons for the new name are many, but first and foremost, the company is growing, and it seemed a natural time to mark the growth with a new name, identity and website. [...]
Company Karma
I was just at a very inspiring seminar hosted by engodsag.dk. Engodsag.dk is a great initiative, that allows online shoppers to donate money whilst purchasing consumer goods. Or rather – companies donate money when consumers using a special programme buy their goods. Brilliant idea, and a solution that leaves only winners. Money is raised for [...]

This year in music
Music’s been a huge part of my life this year. A lot of events, gadgets, bands and online initiatives have played a part in that, so I’ve decided to make a personal top ten of my year in music. 10) A spanking new iPod. Early on this year I got a 30gig black iPod, and [...]

Election time – tweets & social networks
So it’s election time in Denmark. This means an array of political blogs, Youtube profiles and Flickr accounts. All well and good. Personally, I could do without the super polished blog posts, the overly edited and TV-like Youtube vids, the head shots on Flickr (I want to see the pictures you TAKE, not pictures of [...]

Mariko Mori @ ARoS – Art and technology
This weekend I took a trip to the motherland – Jutland, that is – to visit my dad and my girlfriend’s parents. I had a great couple of days, and fortunately, I spent part of my sunday at ARoS (Aarhus art museum) looking at Mariko Mori’s exhibition ‘Oneness’. Mariko Mori is a photographer, artist and [...]
Google buys Jaiku
I’ve known for a while that there was something pretty amazing about Jaiku. Now I’m not saying that it has taken tremendous talent on my part, cause Jaiku (along with Twitter) has been all the rave for a year or so now, but anyway. Turns out the boys and girls at Google agree. They’ve just [...]
Flock revisited
I was an avid user of Flock a while back, but I went back to Firefox after a series of unexplainable crashes. However, I recently decided to give Flock another try, and man am I glad I did. The social web browser is just about to go 1.0 (currently 0.9.1.2) and it is bigger and [...]

OMG! YuoTube (mis)education
This is a class on using YouTube – from YouTube. College level, mind you. If that’s the state of higher education in relation to digital media / the web, then we’re in trouble. How are we ever going to keep up with what is actually going on? I guess we’re not, really. (Via)
Jaiku ups the ante – yet again
I’ve always preferred Jaiku to other micro-blogging platforms, and the fierce Fins have taken yet another few but important steps in the right direction. Other than releasing a new mobile app with – among other nifty features – a much needed power save option, they’ve also released Jaiku Bot. Jaiku Bot is an IM bot [...]
