Ebay - what way ?

2006-05-26T01:31:00.000+02:00

One of my favorite blogs is badmouthing Ebay - I think to conclusive - but u seldomly see smoke without a fire ?

Vonage Shoot in both knees

2006-05-26T00:00:00.000+02:00

Vonage stock offer went SO DOWN TODAY - I think because Skype to SkypeOut free in US - here is a blogger who talks my kind of language (Andy Kessler)
This is a classic high stakes Wall Street sucker punch...F-ing brilliant. I’d like to shake the hand of the person that thought this out. Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, and UBS now have to work a lot harder to sell this deal. Boo-hoo.

Ibiza Design Villas

2006-05-25T23:50:00.000+02:00

My very close friend Lars who has some very nice designerish houses on Ibiza - is now also doing some very interesting new hotel projects - with the people who has this fantastic hotel in Marokko. This island is getting hot as a finnish sauna ;) - even tough still very few people know - proof: all villas has been rented for the full summer since decemeber :)

Interesting site

2006-05-25T11:20:00.000+02:00

I never think I will understand wine - and be that wellknowing old guy who recommends on year and grape... But since I do consume enourmous ammounts of wine - it would be nice to learn a bit - and this migth be the way. http://corkd.com

Privacy

2006-05-24T13:56:00.000+02:00

Some days ago 35mio US veterans got their identity leaked by some government arm. And when I use some new webservices they have an IMPORT FUNCTION - to import all addresses from YahooMail, Gmail... I can see this ID Theft going ballistic the next coming years.. DAMN It stupid.

So when I turn 65 my grandchildren will ask me: "So Granny how was life back then with Secure Identity and no obesity ?".

Southern France (new)

2006-05-24T13:53:00.000+02:00

I really like ~~Southern France~~ Nice - only one major problem. Too many rich 45+ people - who have nothing to do but putting their bad taste and boredom into the beautifull area.

Journalist and Primeminister

2006-05-19T07:54:00.000+02:00

My absolute favorite Danish journalist (and entrepanuer and author and artcollector) with our primeminister. These guys have a very strange and very close relationship - where they use and abuse eachother in something like a Spin game - with a huge touch of humor.

Integration Aquisitions

2006-05-17T01:33:00.000+02:00

Google is integrating all their services to ONE LOGIN, today I was meet with a MERGE ACCOUNTS SCREEN when I visited Orkut, first time this year. And Google had done a VERY smoth integration / same thing happened at Flick where I got the chance to merge my Yahoo account/login - also a VERY NICE JOB. Hurray.

Ohh my God

2006-05-12T02:19:00.000+02:00

I had a fantastic conversation the other day - about religion, politics, money as religion and all the stuff that is nearly to dangerous to touch these days. And I have to say that Im rally in extreme doubts about these questions. I would love to be the kind of dude who just has an opinion - but Im really changing my mind oftenly. But I would like:
* to make religions be VERY EVERYTHING to its users - but without being defined by hitting a something else...
* to make money/materialism become less of a religion
* to get marketing out of the game as a religion
* to find some cure for the 2,4bio people who go to bed hungry daily

Im getting afraid of just being a happy go lucky greedy materilistic fuck - who will do no change (or have tried to) in this life.

Looking at what I just wrote - I see the problem: It sounds patetic, naiv and stupid to have such goals. Darn!

RED HERRING, Paris

2006-05-11T01:38:00.000+02:00

Ii must say that I respect the Red Herring team and organisation very much / for their way of keeping a high standard at the endless stream of conferences. RESPECT! And for the networking these conferences are GOOD+. Only minus is the crazy price.

Pairs

2006-05-10T21:58:00.000+02:00

I fucking love Paris - all doors are huge and beautifull, the waiters are rude like hell (prefer that over SugarSweetBudSucking US waiters) - and then they have Collete the only store in the world that can make me go shopping.

Small [4] countries

2006-05-07T07:30:00.000+02:00

Its VERY nice to go to Iceland - everyone know eachother (the separation of 6 degrees is down to 2) and when my wife forgot her driving lisence - she just called the police station - and they faxed a copy to HErtz so we could rent a car. NEAR/CLOSE/UNITED is good for the soul - it made me happy to see a socierty where people care for eachother - and bureukrats act like thay care (maybe because everyone very like could be a friends friend).

Small Flat countries [2]

2006-05-07T07:29:00.000+02:00

Its strange to be from a flat country - when I fly over at maountain chain - I get "stressed on behalf of the country" thinking about how hard it is to build infra structure - compared to a country with the highest point being 123meter (Denmark).

Small countries [3]- big impact

2006-05-07T07:27:00.000+02:00

Quite som BIG social and political thinkers go to Iceland to pratice their ideas - since the IMPLEMEENTATION- and INCABATIONTIME is so low that change is actually possible within a lifetime ;)

Small coutnrties and Branding

2006-05-07T07:07:00.000+02:00

300.000 People inIcelandhas more brandshare then any city I can remember with 300.000 people. So small seems to work VERY well in branding as well - there must be 10.000 cities in the world with more then 300.000 inhabitants - and NO ONE KNOWS THE THOSE CITIES.

Sex is SUPER FACINATION (1+1=3)

2006-05-04T20:50:00.000+02:00

Suddenly I understood why sex is so endlessly facinationg (and nice). The ourcome is the only way I see that makes 1+1=3. ENDLESSLY INTERESTING

PS.Imagine how much power, money and energi the business&research-world is putting ino making 1+1=2,01 ;) - that migth save our energi problem. (my brain is a little strange today)

AirPort Security

2006-05-04T14:25:00.000+02:00

Today in Copenhagen Airport an old lady had hear 1960ís razor taken from her (strangely she had a 50% of small bird) in the security checkin - she was very sorry to loose it - very. Then my plane was delayed - and I went to the restaurant where the chef has HUGE KNIFES (I could easyly get under my coat) in th open kitchen and I get for and knife for my steak (and could VERY EASY take the MURDER WEAPONS :) in my pocket). Daaaahhh - pour old lady.

Political Spin My Ass

2006-05-04T14:19:00.000+02:00

Yesterday I spent with a crowd of VERY POLITICAL SPIN SAVY people (not because Im even thinking a nano second about going into politics) to discuss various topics and exchange brain bandwidth and social/political standpoints. The part of the crowd who really understood and works in&around the diciplin where all sharp as razorblades and very nice actually. BUT IT SCARED ME TO HEAR HOW THE DANISH DEMOCRACY IS TOTALY CONTROLED BY SpinDoctors and intrigues etc... shit. And then I start thinking about how crazy it must be in BIG COUNTRIES :/

2.0 or Just Fashionable Evolution ?

2006-04-30T09:06:00.000+02:00

Web business has a glimse of FASHION (people want new just to get new) - and for the smart (anti Yuppie) new generation of Startups (development companies) the initial cost of TAKING ON THE BIG ESTABLISHMENT IS VERY LOW. I have earlier been mentioning the Wunderkids from 37signals - with probably more users of their NO BRAINIER WEBSERVICES (not negative) in the SMB segment then Microsoft Business Solutions and for sure SAP. Not to mention www.successfactors.com who have +1,5mio B2B users on their people management ASP solution ;) - BRAVO BINGO - go home Mr. Selfish SuperEgo EllisonCopy Salesforce.com.

Im fallow a bit in love with the hyped guys at Shopify - who are smarter then the rest.
1) Shopify did a small friends and family round (Aug. 2005)
1A) - the founders don't take salary (love it !)
1AA) - that gives them 12 more months

2) - they use free software (

Ruby, bit too hyped though

)

3) - they play the buzz game better then even Mcculley Culkin in the early 90´ies. Even without launching (could backfire - but better the being stealth for life ;)

Online Video - Google Video

2006-04-29T15:24:00.000+02:00

These clips: Octo Eats Shark and Ninja Monkey- is a good entertainment. Google Video is in my opinion a better service then the very hip and VC-topiced Youtube.com

Me an entrepreneur ?

2006-04-27T09:57:00.000+02:00

Last week I found a dream house - it was VERY VERY nice. I had no doubt that I just HAD TO OWN it. The area is AMAZING - the house is cool - and well I had no clue what I wanted to do with it but - well make a place for all the guests we have at LundKenner and maybe a small apartment for Lisa ?

But but but - this project suddenly got to my stomach - I was dreaming about it / and had semi night mares.... Very strange since I normally cant feel stress - and I used to using more money on WAY MORE RISKY INVESTMENTS - and I deal with a lot of stuff I don't understand (maybe everything I do)... ;) So yesterday I had to use the escape clause at drop it - damn I feel good that I did it. But yet again my inner entrepreneur is standing there on my shoulder with a 3fork shouting: "Chicken Chicken Chicken... "

Is this interesting ?

2006-04-27T09:42:00.000+02:00

On The 4th of next month, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning,the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.That won't ever happen again in our lifetime. In fact it will be approx. 400 generations before it happens again. May the 4th be with you

Letter to my LundKenner Partners

2006-04-18T08:49:00.000+02:00

WHY AM I ALL IN

Im all in this because I love to see a little or medium idea becomming a flying swan - and the journey to get there... Personally I know Im probobly one of the best in the world - actually I dont even doubt - but I also know how endlessly week I am after the first kiss/touch.. As soon as the pattern of the deal I have in my head is reality I loose a bit of interest - not 100% but I just start to see how I can get my next high from identifying a new thing - a new idea - a new team of poeple (or an old) - a new structure .... I cant even express how humble and happy I am to be in a setup like the one we already have (thats suposed to take years) - I see 4-5 people who will just give their left ball to make this happen - to make good companies and HIGH PROFITS FROM THE TIME and NETWORK and money we invest. Promise me guys that you jump this if you suddenly get another real interest in life. since what we are about to do is not about working halftime or fulltime - hey realise its LIFETIME. And if anyones doubts - Ive chosen to do this with first Soren and then ALL OF YOU GUYS - so lets fucking be agressive like NO ONE ELSE - and demanding. (When the inner Demand to yourself is SKYHIGH - then the souroundings gets it !). Dear valued partners - I cant wait to see where we will go.

PROUD PORTEFOLIO

I look at the stuff we have in our portefolio as an artcollection a carefully selected family - a part of me - that I want to be assosiated with. REALLY like a part of my personality - it BRANDS ME it is ME. BulLGuard ME - I am Maxthon - I am Wiseled - I tell people about it - and i act like I am Heleca.. Dear Partners if you have just a bit of emotions for any of the ventures we have - then dont hessitate to take all the hornor promote yourself for being part of it - BE FUCKING PROUD. Im proud of the team we have - really PROUD - and I cant wait to our next exit - where we can party and hug and be proud together - because we are in a DEEPLY RICKY business and failure is WAY MORE COMMON then SUCCES for our ventures - AND US. Dont start taking pills - but be realistic - this is extremely difycult and we will only survive if we BELIEVE IN IT AND STAY TOGETHER 100% for years.

HOW TO BEHAVE

I want us all to be humble as hell - and hornest like hell - and gentlemen - really gentlemen who hold the door for women and startups and talent. I have this fantastic picture in my head of someone who offered me ligth (when I was smoking) and 2nd time one evening someone did I was always just positive to them (no matter if I even liked them or talked to them)... More important we need a system to follow up on OPPERTUNITIES - or to be more frank - to reject......(taken out not to be copied)

GOALS

I want to

a) Make my mother and my wife proud of me - and disapoint as few people as posible !I

b) I want to have FUN - FUN and I want people to respect LundKenner and respect (be impressed by) our achivements and our ability to handle risk - and time after time turn risktaking into being lucky.

- Thats it folk. Dunno why I wrote this :)

I wish I had more time

2006-04-13T14:57:00.000+02:00

BullGuard exploding

2006-04-08T08:30:00.000+02:00

Maybe its a sign or maybe Im just lucky as always to have the VERY BEST PEOPLE around me - but the fact is that BullGuard has nearly doubled revenue since I gave the CEO title and the stearing wheel Heini (CEO) and to Theis (my co-founder). The people in Denmark, Romainia, UK are absolutely kicking ass and Im proud like a father!!!

Spearcast

2006-04-08T08:08:00.000+02:00

Im very proud to take part in this VERY INTERESTING company -> Spearcast who launched the Palora service. I really like the idea - and as always I go in with the best poeple - and Ive seen people as good as CEO Hannan
- the story is better told at Nets blog - Net actually did the connection - and is on hell of a dealmaker.

My new company (structure)

2006-04-07T10:28:00.000+02:00

I want to own the idea of Bubble3.0 - so now Im just sitting and waiting.
I love to deal in technology - and I want to become number one in the world at taking technology/products/idea to market (NOT VC, NOT INVENTOR). Soren Kenner - my partner in crime - has really given me the chance to go to next level - and actually provide a more consistent set of values to startups and growtht companies. So Im humble humble happy. (and still wondering why I write this shit - am I the version100 of super narcisists ?)

Computers making money

Dear valued reader - on my journey to complete independency (before dying) I´ve done something I promise NEVER to do again. I´ve invested in artificial intelligence used for predicting the stockmarket (soory again - I know it sounds like something nouveaux riche smalltimers does when they loose contact to reality - to become instant oldschool rich...) - but this things seems to work - and will enable me to fullfill a couple of ideological dreams beyond owning my own softice-machine :) Read a bit on it.

Have a GR8 day - and dont loose the edge!

Greedy and Ethical

2006-04-06T15:04:00.000+02:00

Ive found out that I think that very very good business people have a special combination of hidden greed combined with very high moral - weird to see these words together. But on the other hand - the best sportsmen (athletes)are also very greedy in they aim for metal made of gold...

My best deal ever

2006-03-25T19:02:00.000+01:00

Today I structured one of the best deal I´ve ever done. And ts not only extremely potential in profis - IT A SOCIAL DEAL IN THE FINANCIAL WORLD. I met 3 guys trough a friend 7 months ago - and they are real scientists - but also very socially skilled. They have fumbled a bit and developed a lot - but been very very hornest. Today they (we) signed with a Swiss partner who will cover the company for the next 2 years - and move the guys down.. So why me so happy and proud: The deal was done via trust and handshake and everybody gave more then they promised - the scientists gave the new partner 2% extra shares just to show they where sirous - the Swiss dude just signed after skimming the termsheet.. UNREAL. Mark (Chief Practical Dealmaker at LundKenner) didnt even believe his own ears - no one was greedy - everyone was giving and humble. I LOVE IT - when there are no greedy asses bithing.

Gawker - Stalker - FUCKER
I have been following the Gawker dude pretty close since 2001 - and he has been pretty forefront - without being special. If he was a bear he would be a fancy Bud - nothing more. But inovative ( beyond my legeau ) within media. But now - he seemed to miss attention or money or both - and launched the STALKER service - where you can report via SMS where you saw a celeb - UGLY UGLY UGLY IDEA - like Gawkers own brain must be... (sorry I dont even wanna link.)

Bubble2.0 - underlined - buy instead of develop

Russ - has comment of the week - after Writely is sold to Google:

Alright! Weve got ourselves another winner! Congratulations to Writely - the latest winner in the Web 2.0 Acquisition Lottery! Sorry to all the other web-WYSIWYG editors out there for losing out on this time. DonÂ?t fret, however, another round for deals with AOL, MSN or Yahoo! will have begun today, IÂ?m sure.

Step right this way folks, you too can play! Dont delay!

-Russ

PS. Its cool that OddPost and Toni did a Web2.0 sale 2years ago.
PPS. It gives great hope entrepreneursuers - but remember outthere - its not so easy - and you cant really sell a company - companies get bought.

Thesis: Bloggers are Narcissists
Everyone (like me) who have a blog must be suffering from some kind of neo Narcissism - since they wanna publish their life and probobly use quite some time polishing thier egos and tracking how they perform. THEREFOR there must be quite a business oppertunity in make a nice and simple stat tool - that will be the MIRROR for bloggers to enjoy their impact. (Im far out here - but it was on my mind - so I had to dump it).

Conclusion:
Performancing Alpha Site | Helping Bloggers Succeed will be very succesfull. Nick is a brigth nut.

In love with life.
Yesterday I spend at home with the kids (plus one of Lauras kindergarten friends) - having 3 meetings at home with partners and friends during the day - and 2 meetings out of the house in the late afternoon. I cant even express how extremely lucky and happy I feel when everything seems to FIT: Family, Friends, Work, Bizz and Mentalhealth. Im NOT stating that Im mentally healthy - my ambitions and extreme eager to do business ventures - has been categorized by my psychologist as: Pure Out of Controle Gambling obsession ;). But darn - Im happy to have not big difference between the different aspects of life. Maybe Im also even more happy - since I see good traction in my endless amount of crazy projects.

Dear valued reader: ;) - enjoy the weekend

Mr. Ikea rocks !
Forbes-toppen - so rich is he from the sucks ass swedish site DagensPS.
Funny thing is that yesterday I had lunch with Richard Bunck - the overne of Danmarks biggest distribution company and a national free sunday paper - who had stories about Mr. Ikea (Kamrad) 20 years ago - calling him on sundays to check ho the distribution of the Ikea catalog in Denmark went ;).
Lesson: We all start from scratch - and tis guy has become number 4 rich globally - in a EXTREMELY comptitive market - just by being HARDWORKING and STREETSMART.

I think about this triangle every day
What the fuck is happening - why can Apple go an be in all cornersat the same time - when samsung cant? - where is the whole banking sector gonna go ? Will Kodak survive ? Telcos are still insanely evaluated even though OIP is eating their les and arms (foreign minutes) ? Will eCommerce B2C and even B2SMB change 100% ? Who will win the in the dying Automotive industry (imagine the iPod of Cars) - could there be a future for public transport ?? Darnn - I wanna be into those things that will change - but I have no clue ;) - so conclusion: Morten you have to keep shooting - like a John Wayne with a brand new Winchester.

PS. I will NEVER go into weapons.

A top VC
I just got this Red Herring article - The Vorlds hottest PC? - about Asad from ePlanet. This guy is very cool and Im very sure he hasent done hes last big kill. All though I have to say that my biggest VC HERO will stay Tim Draper - tMr. Tricker finger - with asecond to none good nose for business. Not only because of Hotmail, Skype... More because of all his small private deals like Oddpost and eFriendsNet.

Skiing downhill - going maybe too fast
Im getting a little afraid of the speed at LundKenner - my new venture. Well I hevent really released anything on yet / but yesterday I did change my email adress from BullGuard to LundKenner. And just after pleying (working with Soren Kenner) for only 5 months - get this feeling that the speed migth be a bit to agressive: BullGuard skyrocking, Maxthon hitting 50mio downloads, Play65 kicking ass, Gekko going bulistic, IIP, Haleca, Aresa going public.... Opening in Amsterdam, tel Aviv, Delhi, Beijing and soon Rio and hopefully Russia.... Mummmmmy Im not sure I know how to controle the skies.

Well it simple - not easy.

Sorry to waite your time - dear valued reader - with my worries.

Web20 and WebTools is gonna be everything - not just hype. The thing is that all kinds of business can be redone - with VERY SIMPLE STUFF. And I have to mention the 37Signal guys - I think they can be a tread to SAP on the longer run.I just hope so much they will stay independent.

Rasmus Visby
Ive seen a lot people in my tons of ventures - and since it all comes down to sales when businesses succeed I must mention Rasmus Visby - the killer of all sales guys - running BullGuard Nordic. - this .crazy radio spotshows his endless commitment. (Im no too fan of the spot it self - but looove the execution).

Im I gettin old ?
Suddenly I understood that US is using 3bio$ a day (on wars and cashback deals on cars) - and that 45% of the money comes from issuing bonds to China and Japan. That must become a fu..... big poblem over time. Specially if the whole american idea of building a country on intelectual property(patents, entertainment, software...) fails. (But no wonder they throw a 100mio$ now and then to enforce intelectual property into countries like India and Brazil).

Why the f... do i think about stuff like this - well maybe Im getting old.

"Dad, What new invetions can be done"
I went to Berlin with my 16y dauther Lisa - and we had a fantastic time shopping (spoiling her a bit) and visting the booming galleries and I attended DroppingKnowledge (post on that later).
...well - we ended up talking about how connected, cool and smart the info. and tech world is - me chekking hotel on my mobile, her txtíng like crazy - and both of us logging on wifi in the hotel - being live with friends as if home... I off course said that that this is only the beginning - and within 5y it will be so way more crazy withtechnology. Lisa jst replied - no way its all here... So I just went online to find some examples of whats comming. This japanese 3D technolgy seems like something that will change the whole media consumtion play. And this touchscreen also seems changing the picture... (Thanx to Marcus for links)

NEW phones comming
Ive been testing all kinds of phones for the last 2 years and have to (a bit shamefylly) admit that i use the Nokia 9300 without camera. But I see very cool stuff coming up - like
SAMSUNG i300 - and the Sony Ericsson Walkmann MP3 W800.... Going after the defacto standard of MP3 - IPOD. I think about iPods and iTunes every day - and still dont understand how Apple got to own that whole category ;) - andstill cant understand everyday the keep the position. And even make me considere bying one - despite the fact that i CANT CARRY MORE KABLS AND WIRES AND GADTES INMY BACKPACK.
