Last week I gave my talk on Agile Banking at Reboot 11. This week I have taken my talk and turned it into a series of blog articles of which this is the final one. I have links at the bottom of the article to the previous articles. How do we build this? Open web standards are the way to do this. A lot of great work …

Kim Jong-Il the glorious leader of North Korea has long been the laughing stock of most of the world except of course the poor millions of North Koreans who happen to be stuck under his rule. So why is it that most medium to large companies blindly follow his doctrine? Why are so many startups sliding down the path of …

It’s easy to get swept into the excitement of the electoral process no matter where you live in the world. In the past couple of months I’ve found myself swept into the excitement for a candidate for the coming US presidential election, who I in reality have very few things to agree with and probably wouldn’t ever …

Living in SOMA San Francisco like I do, you often feel (rightly or wrongly) that you are part of this massive revolution. Earlier it was labelled the “dot com/bomb” revolution, now it’s more likely to be the “social network” or “Web 2.0” revolution. It can be argued that some of this is nothing more than just another …

For us people who tend to do things a bit different …

I know my last post Don’t listen to your family might be interpreted in a negative manner, it really wasn’t meant that way. Families can be and are mostly great. There are definitely examples out there where they aren’t, but generally speaking they are great. In particular if you learn to learn from them. As I said …

Well families can be great, however one of the hardest things to realise in particular if you have a great family is that their advise is almost never good news for you. Don’t get me wrong there are definitely …

Seth has a fantastic article about Understanding Local Max that should probably be read by all small entrepreneurs. I is about how you put effort into something and you reach a point where the effort pays off, but eventually starts decreasing. His point is that when you reach what he calls the local max, which is that …

So I ended up quitting my nine to five job. In Denmark you have to give 30 days notice to the end of a calendar month, so I actually did it a couple of weeks ago, but I couldn’t write about until today for various reasons. It became more and more difficult to do what I wanted to do next to a steady job, so it was time …
