And Jerry Michalski is also finally opening his mind once again. Great!

Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) - “making it easier to find information”

Me - the terrorist?
Called IBM regarding my old faulty ibm thinkpad. After giving my contact information i out of nowhere got the question “Are you a terrorist?” - i stumbled an “Aeeh, No!” answer - only to get the follow up question “Are you sure?”. The guy then proceeded by checking my name against a a database of known terrorists.
That’s what it takes to get computer support these days!

To clarify…
My statement that the next danish prime minister will have a blog is just basic future forecasting since he/she will serve from year 2005-2009. There’s no way that i believe that you can be in power in year 2009 and not use the equivalent of a weblog to have conversations with the society around you and participate as the human being you are - and not the role your spindoctor’s wants to project you into.
But hey it’s also a hope - but i’ll definately try to make sure that the prediction happens
Thanks for the link, Dave! (I’ll get those permalinks fixed - real soon!]
PS. I wouldn’t make the same future forecast for the role of the president of the united states - but that’s a totally different discussion and a problem only you americans can resolve…

A new record this week:
Got seven direct mail offers from real estate agents this week all stating something close to “we’ve got a buyer for your apartment ready”. Hey, shouldn’t the economy be cooling off?
The weird and irritating part is that each time your mind takes a tour around the question - that marketing stuff can be effective

John Patrick: Wi-Fi and free lunches
“The advent of Wi-Fi is about to change all of our lives in a major–and positive–way. I’ll go further: Wi-Fi is one of those grassroots phenomena that will soon become as ubiquitous as the PC itself. The latest laptops have Wi-Fi antennas built into the lids, while the wireless access points, which send and receive the Wi-Fi signals, now cost less than $100.”

Ohh, let the secret out…
I can now finally officially announce that Mr. Hartvig/090978.org has stopped blogging to have more time to become a father.
The best reason for stopping to blog i’ve ever heard of.

The first candidate for US Congress to have a weblog. Funny discussed it with a friend over lunch who was on his way to a meeting with the former prime minister of Denmark who’s rebuilding his campaign and party for the next election.
Suggested that one of the tools to show a more modern open human side of politics would be for the politician to have a weblog. He shrugged it off right away as being too progressive- but take my words - the next danish prime minister will have a weblog sometime in his/her time of service…
A Long Bet anyone?
