When I started my new job I got a new phone. To my great surprise it was an iPhone 4. This was fairly awkward for me, because I have been using an Android phone (HTC Desire) for the past year and I have been very satisfied. (Perhaps this would be a good time to state, [...]

New job

For the first time ever since I finished university I have changed my job. Last Monday I had my first day at Accenture. Professionally my tasks will be quite similar to what I have been doing so far (enterprise architecture, IT-strategy and related subjects). The main difference is the size of the organization I am [...]

How openness makes me a more loyal customer

If you use a lot of digital tools like I do, it is very common to leave a lot of information behind. Services expire, get acquired or die in different ways. The time, effort and data that the user puts in is lost or loses its value. When this happens more than a few times, [...]

Digital spring cleaning

So the sun is finally starting to peek through the clouds here in Denmark and I can finally see how dirty my windows are. But cleaning them is an easy task, water and soap will do the trick and I can track my progress very easily. But what about the digital equivalent? Do you know [...]

Goodbye Paris!

After more than 7 months in beautiful Paris, I am now fully moved back to Copenhagen. For the first time in more than 8 months I am in Denmark without plans for another trip to Paris. Living in Paris has been a great experience and I have really enjoyed being able to get to know [...]

How to check-in and annoy people

I’ve been used Foursquare for a while. It’s geeky and pointless, but something to do when you’re standing around and waiting for something or someone. It’s even been marginally useful when a lot of people check in at the same place and add tips. But Foursquare is for the geeks. Facebook Places was just launched [...]

The long tail of friendship

Quick, answer this question: how many people do you know in New York? How many in London? Would you be comfortable writing them an e-mail or calling them up, if you were in town? You may not have seen them for years, but that doesn’t mean you don’t want to see them now. Since you [...]

Moving to Paris

As you may already know if you are friends with me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter, I moved to Paris about two months ago, an internal transfer within my company, to work on a new collaboration platform for all +4000 employees. I thought I would write a description slightly longer here, just to [...]

State of the eUnion

I starten af sommeren kontaktede min ven og mentor John Gøtze mig, angående et spændende projekt han havde i støbeskeen. I forbindelse med ministerkonferencen om e-Government i Malmø 19.-20. november ville John samle en antologi med indlæg fra de innovative folk på området. Han spurgte mig om jeg ville give en hånd med og jeg [...]

4. maj 1945

På vej hjem fra arbejde blev jeg netop passeret af en lang kolonne af militærkøretøjer, udsmykket med danske og amerikanske flag, som en del af fejringen af befrielsen i 1945. Det fik mig til at komme i tanke om at jeg har noget aktuelt liggende fra familiearkiverne. Min morfar var i København d. 4. maj [...]
