Wendy My <3 - Rest In Peace

Categories: Featured · StoriesTags: · · · · · · 5 Comments

Today, at 15.25, Wendy took her last breath. Right now, I am out of words. I can only say, that I lost one of my three most beloved in my life – a family member I got the pure joy, bliss and happinness to spend four and a half years with. I had the privilege to get fully adopted by a sweet, unique, sensitive, intelligent, charming, wonderful beauty of a Queen. I let the pictures speak for themselves for the moment. I will update this posting with captions, to tell the full story. Later. Now, we will try to get…

Reflections on The Art, Space and Time for Macroblogging

Categories: Featured · StoriesTags: · · · · · · · · · · · · 1 Comment

There is something magic in the expressions of intentions, and I believe they work only if you express them for yourself. My belief is that some intentions make things happen the way you envision it if you express them with the one’s sharing them, and yet some only if you express them, silently, for yourself. I never got to the spot to actually get into regular “macroblogging”. Maybe it is in the language you use, programming yourself. “I will…” instead of “I am…”. And when it comes to my regular blogging in the longer format, here on my latest “blog…

The Flow Society Seminars – From the Lab and Beyond

Categories: #FlowSocietySeminars · #TheFlowSociety · FeaturedLeave a comment

One of the core activities to drive the conversation and insight generation forward regards the understanding of the Flow Society is the series of Flow Society Seminars. As reported lately through the Social Media Club and a contribution I made via the Editorial Team – “The Flow Society Projects 2012 – An (Inter)Action Report” – I intend to give a series of seminars also online, beyond the offline brainjams that already have taken place at Coffice in Norrköping. To get familiar with this format (I have only given one webinar before), I will get the Flow Society Webinars to the…

Music is the Answer – Love is the Meaning

Categories: Featured · MusicTags: · · · · · · · · Leave a comment

For those who have followed me through the years – both before and after the “age of the social web” – know I have a deep passion for music. An old version of my “musical biography” (covering up until 2008) can be found over at the archived wp.com here (to be updated, edited and published here in time). I have three aliases, representing different styles – “DJ Anders” (the beats from now and then, aimed to make you move and mostly versions of electronic dance music from all over the spectrum), “aBreathing” (meditative and with no or soft beats), and…

Getting conversational – positive and negative feedback loops

Categories: Conversations · FeaturedTags: · · · · · · · · · · Leave a comment

The category of “rants, raves, reviews and responses” is coming from a need to directly aim “textual energy” in one direction or another. But “targeted” is the word. It sprung from the need to write “an open letter” towards a person for the “pepping” in a positive manner, and also in another context to write in somewhat “negative terms” in third person. Thus “rants” and “raves”. But it’s not only persons, it could be brands, companies, products, services … whatever. In all means, it’s about more direct and hands-on conversation with and in relation to a “subject” of some kind….

Creating material for telling the stories – events and experiences

Categories: Events · FeaturedTags: · · · · · · · · · · Leave a comment

In all respect to the virtual worlds of the immaterial part of the “social web” – there is something special with the “physical meeting”, one to one, one to a few, few to a few, or many among many. I arrange a lot of events, and I am also parts of the “stage”, besides the arranger. Through the years, many types of events have been passed – as guest, as “artist” (the DJ or the Speaker), as event blogger with the blogger’s pass, from the “minimalistic” to the “big”. What can be when the flows are right – is the…

From blogging ideas not ready to articles, chapters and books

Categories: Featured · ReflectionsTags: · · · · · · · · · Leave a comment

The web have changed our knowledge development in many dimensions, not to say the least when it comes to its reach – we now can co-develop and converse on a global scale and share stories and experiences. When it comes to the concrete “industry” of the “word”, it has also challenged old presumptions going from “idea”, to first “draft” over maybe to a “book”. Nowadays, a book can be fully “electronic”, and not even going to print with all the pads, tablets and different kind of e-readers out there. I have been in the loop of that “book making” for…

News and Updates – Weekday Post Tagging

Categories: #CommunityWednesday · #IdentityTuesday · #MondayMacroscope · #ProjectThursday · FeaturedTags: · · · Leave a comment

In my first version of my Personal Community Hub, I introduced the idea of focusing different aspects of my life on specific weekdays in respective postings, named after the weekday. The News and Updates will now be the general stream that collects these updates for the Monday to Thursday taggings: #MondayMacroscope On Mondays, here and there I will post general summaries, with a bit of holistic reflection, on what’s going on in my life at large – and sum up key statuses of things going on in all aspects – private, personal and professional, and some short comments on what…

Currently, this is the lineup of committments: #TheFlowSociety – Web, Seminars/Webinars and Books In order to conceptualize and increase insights about a society in profound transition, I have now levelled the effort from the monthly writeups through the Social Media Club Editorial Team and aggregated these postings in an own web-space – http://flowsociety.org. Associated activities is a seminar series offline, and a webinar series online, together with a project to get two associated…

Life in constant change – You Are what You Think and Do

Categories: Featured · StoriesLeave a comment

Two years ago, according to a service out there on the social web, I was revamping my profile – starting with updating my avatars. I have now reached this loop in the same kind of process again. The hardest trick was to find what categories to include on this Personal Community Hub. I did not get all the way last time, last year, but now I feel quite comfortable with them. So – with that, I will introduce every stream with an initial posting, in this new version of my hub/home on the web!

Building a Personal Community Hub

Categories: Featured · Web DevelopmentLeave a comment

Hi – this is just a short note, saying that I just found the appropriate theme to build up the rest of this Personal Community Hub. So what you see at the moment is truly a Work in Progress! The major mind-boggling work right now is to define the fixed categories that will be streaming in their respective flow partitions – to which you see some dummies for testing right now. You will see categories being added, one by one, when postings are being added, one by one. The challenge is to get something that is enough to be separated…
