Data, Stories, Interaction, Products, Connection
interesting read:
Some questions marketers must ask: Does this interaction lead to connections? Do our products support our story? Is the story pulling in numbers that demonstrate that it’s working?

Back from Blantyre
I spent a couple of sunny, winter days in Malawi’s biggest city, visiting family and meeting friends.
I’ve started uploading some of my snapshots to Flickr. More to come as I sift thru the GBs of data.
Travel was uneventful, except for the fact that my luggage took 6 days to arrive in Blantyre. It […]
Jet lag
Last night was the second night that I couldn’t sleep cos of jet lag. Instead of trying to relax, I started googling for sites on combatting jet lag. One thing is sure, I’m doing it wrong. Apparently it takes one day of recovery for every timezone I crossed…
My current strategy is to go out and […]
giorni e nuvole
I watched this movie yesterday… and it get’s the label “problem film”. It’s ok. But throughout the film I was waiting for some major action.
It’s all about unemployment, and the subsequent downsizing, and the effect it has on this Italian couple somewhere in Italia. Reflecting the stagnant economy.
As I said not bad, but I […]
Categorize your Mess
Stumbled across this article on messiness at Green Tea Ice.
Some categories of mess:
MINIMESS — A contained, clearly delineated pocket of mess within a larger area, as on a counter, in a closet or a drawer, or on a bulletin board or a refrigerator.
CYCLICAL MESS — A mess that waxes and wanes in cycles. Some messes […]
I blog to share
like this Brian Solis post. And especially this quote:
Personally I blog to share information, ideas, and thoughts and observations that may or may not help people. I’m not in the news business. Nor am I in the blogging business. But even still, it is a significant commitment, one I’m currently weighing in the greater scheme […]
Baumgrenze
Started talking about the tree line in the Alps and looked up this page and this page.
Factors:
Depends on aspect of slope, rain, and distance to the poles (or how close it is to the equator), and in some cases vegetation…
Swiss Alps: 2100 m
Mount Kilmanjaro, Tanzania: 3000 m
Andes, South America: 3900 to 5200 m
Zimbabwe’s Future
Newspaper column by Peter Godwin in an Australian newspaper:
“Did you know that Zimbabweans have the highest IQ in the world?” she says. Hmm, that seems a little over-patriotic. “Yes,” she continues, “I queue for sugar, I queue for salt, I queue for fuel, I queue for cooking oil.” And she bursts into peals of laughter […]
The power of procrastination
No more work for today. I’m heading home to watch Tatort.
Note to myself:
alles wird gut
never give up
learn the unforced rhythms of grace
Questions
Check out this music video by John Legend. It’s part of the Show Me Campaign.
John (…) recently shot and released a music video in Tanzania for the Show Me Campaign to introduce his fans to critical global issues. Watch this story of a young boy overwhelmed by the weight of the world who is asking […]
free-wheeling anarchist individual
I read this in one of my Google Reader links:

On the other hand the very same people will complain that blogs are boring, describing everyday routines.
Don’t think any of the two adjectives describe the low key, reserved aims of this blog.
Architects and power
Daniel Libeskind on architects working in China:
“I won’t work for totalitarian regimes,” (…) “Architects should take a more ethical stance.”
