21.11.02 13:02 Memphis memories… When I lived in Mississippi, out-side of Memphis, Big-Daddy Lynn would always sit in his recliner. He’d have a red spit-cup in one hand and his beer in the other and when I came into the room he would tap the beer on the side of the chair and with sing to me: ‘Hey little girl with the red dress on – come loving your big-daddy all night long…’ Loved that deep southern voice... For twelve years that line has been stuck in my head – a fond memory. Last night I was humming it and when Jonas heard me he picked up my guitar and sang me the whole song… Johnny Bye Bye
8.11.02 Dia de los Muertos went to the South on the Day of the Dead. The sun was a black rose in a turquoise sky, my eyes hollow sockets, my bones rattling as I walked. All this felt familiar. The village children screamed in fright and ran away. They are so beautiful, I thought, but I understood their fear. The women though, some of them, would come out to greet me, weave flowers through my ribcage, around my hips, which they would kiss with great longing, remembering love. And the men, some of them, would take off their hats, cast their eyes down. My heart went out to them. Why only now do we see, I wondered, blessing as best I could our blindness. I was looking for you there, a sudden memory from another time. The day faded into night but I could see everything for miles. Coyotes and scorpions came to me out of the desert and sat around me in a circle. I sat down too. There was nowhere to go. I wept. Waiting for you as I have always waited, knowing you will never come.
12:46 Went to a marketing meeting in Stockholm and staid - once again - at the Nordic Sea Hotel right by the World trade center. They have built this totally hilarious concept bar all made of ice since I was there last time. People had to wear metallic spacesuits and gloves and actually drank from glasses made of ice. Sony's Nordic management team and Market managers also came to Stockholm so we all had dinner together. It's funny - when I started working for Sony I felt like this totally misplaced kid. Always wondered what all the men in the suits thought when I did my little presentations. But over the years I have really begun to like these people. There is a really good spirit in Sony. People might wear suits but they are generally good humored and relaxed and all in all very, very nice. I feel totally comfortable in their company. So nice trip to Stockholm! Since I got home I've been running around like a busy little bee. Yesterday evening I went to guitar class. Yes, I started playing guitar - HA! Thought that I was getting complacent and lacy - felt I needed to challenge my self with new interesting hobby. I love it. Felt good when I finally had 'I caught a bug' down... Tonight I'm going on a smooching dinner-thing with one of our agencies. These guys knows how to arrange a killer night so should be fun and this weekend I will spend time exploring nature or maybe hang out at Christiania??? - so hasata luego work. Will leave laptop here till Monday...
1.11.02 No matter how hard I try... zen-thing earlier mentioned on this blog seems not to be my thing at all. Really, really would love to develop more cool, calm and collected inner core and live a sensible and controlled life - but it doesn't work at all for me. Today I'm moving - AGAIN! - I'm getting my old apartment back so at least i won't have to move again too soon This time around moving will be a complex logistic project. I have to get furniture out of a warehouse - pack down everything where I live now, pack down what ever is left at ex's apartment and get necessities that I have left in some forgotten attic in Ikea. And then I have to go around and collect everything. Already looking forward to a well deserved beer later tonight! So please, please, please God - don't send any irresistible, incomprehensible sweet-talkers my way too soon. Need a little quite-time - hæ hæ...

30.10.02 Too bad - I'm so messed up - don't think I'm good marriage material these days ;-) - HA!
10:54 The former MD of British Airways - who on rare occasions does consultant work - and Sony's new CRM director Mathew Lang led the meeting. The point of the meeting was to establish a new organization within the organization and formulate a strategy for CRM related activities. I'll bet that Mathew already knew exactly what would come out of this meeting - but by involving the people he did and by making us formulate his agenda for him he has gained support from all the present country representatives. Very clever! Never saw anyone make such a smooth move in Sony-world before... It also became clear that Mathew has very strong support from top management. Tsurumi San - AKA Mike - our new European president joined the meeting. It was quite thrilling to see him in action. He told us about his plans for the future and about what he has done since he became president three months ago. He seemed like a great guy - dynamic and human. As my Swedish colleague Anders said - he seemed like someone you could easily go up to and have a chat with. Was there also a little speck of humor in those black Japanese eyes? One thing I love about meetings in Berlin is the meeting facilities of the impressive Sony Center on Postammer Platz' and the great food and hotel accommodations. This time I staid in a beautiful room at the Madison. I'd forgotten to bring a book but managed to get through the night watching the Osbornes with german sub-titles instead. Picked up a book in the airport going home though. It's called 'Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas' and is written by James Patterson. Even though the author is male I don't think that many guys will enjoy this book - It's about love and broken hearts and girly dreams of family and meeting Mr. Right and it's bitter-sweet and sad. Guess it fits well with my mood (bitter-sweet and sad???) these days though - almost made me cry on the bus this morning. Hope I'll feel more on top of things when I get my own apartment back on Friday - am so tired of living like a guest... By the way - the PR-gig I mentioned last week went well enough. There were no less than four representatives from the erotic Danish magazine for women called 'Tidens Kvinder'. Gave whole new meaning to the concept of form and function - HA!
17.10.02 Am scared shit-less - have no idea why I said yes to do this. Am not a sales or PR person. Attended a Digital Imaging PR-thing the other day and I would never be able to pull off anything that slightly resembled the sales speech of our product manager. Found super cool movie that I will show them though, and I guess I'll do the storytelling/connectivity routine as well since all studies I've come across in my intensive 30-minute net research suggest that women primarily use technology to build and strengthen relationships. Seems that no less than 40% of all women has sent an apology via mail. As part of my research I have also asked all women wearing portable audio devices in my gym tons of questions the last couple of days: "Are you wearing a Walkman or a minidisk; when did you buy it; OK - but would you ever consider buying a minidisk - No? - hmmm... Does your boyfriend have a minidisk??? Ohhh... you don't know what an MP3 player is...". Wonder if this lacking passion for cool gadgets is only something that characterizes old women (+25)?...
18.6.01 ”On May 31 I started an ad campaign on Google. Anyone who searched for "arsdigita" would get a link to my Shaheen v. Greenspun page. Results: 1,274 impressions, 98 clicks, giving a clickthrough rate of 7.69%. Total cost: $19.11. Yep – (http://www.google.com/search?q=arsdigita&btnG=Google+Search) it’s there. Also love the Microsoft free friday - All-Microsoft Monday thing. Ha ha ha.... And our foreign reboot-friends and mentors are having fun as well. (http://www.peterme.com) Peter Wrote: And Dave's merry reply: Touché! Evan didn't bother with a comment.
17.6.01 Also seems like (http://www.bagstiv.dk/) Hartvig is having a good time. A la mother fucking dendro – eh? And Guan, whom I chatted with at the reboot after-party on Friday, is as obnoxious as always. His crusade against Speednames has reached new highs. "I have just sent (http://unicast.org/stuff/di-questions.guan) this e-mail to Martin Roll, VP Global Marketing at Speednames. They address a number of issues that developers and end-users might raise about Digital Identity, Speednames' new product. I promise now that if Speednames addresses these questions to my satisfaction, Unicast will have a DI service at their launch, if the specifications are made available to me in advance." – Says (http://unicast.org/) Guan . Wrote (http://scripting.com/) Dave about the party on Friday. But seems Guan beat me to it. Didn’t know those two are bonding. Guan must be right up Dave’s alley though. Microsoft free Friday and all.
16.6.01 As I've said, without many details, there's been a lot of death around lately. On the Web too. In a sense, everyone who participates in the Web as a writing medium (not just reading) is going through a grieving process now, whether we're aware of it or not. The Web as we knew it is gone. The thing we shared, the vision, the hope, it's hard to find in all the confusion. But at some point the grief stops being everything, and you go on and find what's new and alive. One thing's for sure, if you're reading this, you're alive. So let's have fun!" - (http://http://www.scripting.com) Dave Agree, agree!
15.6.01 Love my (http://experience.sony.dk/s.asp?i={DD39D9A6-9090-4D9A-8F83-57F5C070F312}& ) reboot-guys, and am so happy that (http://www.090978.org/) Niels and (http://www.commonme.org) Thomas finally got their web-logs up and running so that I’m always updated. Keep posting from Majorca Niels!
14.6.01 Oh! and by the way - mindfucking???? - Honey The only thing I want is to make movies and shop - It's as simple as that.

13:25 I've always been fascinated by the whole idea of storytelling - what it does to the listener and how the storyteller is also affected. I also guess that is what keeps me going with this blog. It's an experiment. I want to see how it affects me. I'm publishing my words and thereby exposing myself. There's probably nobodies watching but if anyone want to he or she can dig right in to my thoughts. So maybe I'm driven by a desire to be heard? - It's like I'm putting it all out there and maybe someday somewhere by chance someone will be affected by it. Like a message in a bottle. But there is more to it than that. It's also a historic record of who and what I am. Something semi-durable. But why am I keeping this record. Is it for the benefit of someone I might meet in the future who I would like to share who I am with? Maybe - but maybe it's also to assure my self that I'm alive. It's right there in front of me - the life that I'm living - if I can write about it it's real. I add value and meaning to my memories and ideas by making them tangible with words - they won’t just dissolve and drift away. So at least I'm affected by telling my story - I do have an audience - me. Did I wander away from the thoughts that arose when I read the statement on Evans site? "America is waiting for a message of some sort or another". No I guess my point is that this statement indicates that people are waiting for someone else to tell them a story - someone to enlighten and bring meaning. But maybe the whole point of this blogger thing isn't that. Maybe the important thing is this: by writing your own story YOU carve out the message and thereby YOU shape the meaning that you need to go on. It doesn't really matter if you don't have anything big and important to share with the whole world and your interpretation doesn’t have to be 'true' (whatever that is) as long as they make sense to you. It's one-2-one sensemaking. And hey - if someone stumbles upon these stories and is affected by them - that’s OK.
7.6.01 We've had some very interresting meetings the last two days. All of Sony's Nordic top management and marketing people met here to discuss issues corcerning new strategies and this summers marketing activities. It's always hard to implement huge shifts in strategy and the general ressession tendencies are hitting our market as well as the rest of the economy - but I guess Sony will manage quite all right. I've been a bit vasted, but have had some time to think a lot of issues through. I guess the next couple of months will be just as demanding as the one's I've just gone through, but I'm getting used to it. Looking forward to getting home tonight though. Tomorrow I'll try to focus on my totally overloaded mailbox. And then it's weekend and I'll try to relax and not do anything work related. Hmmm.....
