From #twehab: Hi! My name Is Kim Bach and I’m a tweetaholic

Dear Friends,
Number of tweets made by kim_bach today
Hi! My name is Kim Bach, and I’m a tweetaholic.

Yes, it seems that I’m a tweetaholic, and it really took a wakeup call from my good friend Rasmus Lückow for me to realise that something had to be done about it.

What he did was that he developed a small app, I’d go as far as calling it a “self help app”, that can display the daily number of tweets by me! YES the page IS called kim.php, and it defaults to show tweets by me ;-). It seems that I yesterday averaged close to 1 tweet every 5 minutes, that is just a little over the top.

Rasmus also asked me if I didn’t have more important things to do? Well of course I have, for one I have a job to do, but I also needed a break from it for highly personal reasons, that the people close to me are aware of, and I’ll tell you if you ask me, my e-mail address is kim.bach@gmail.com, you can also use that to hook up using Google Waves.

Not sure what happened, but it could be related to me being high on the Ordskælv! project, but you know, I’ve actually gained some really interesting contacts on Twitter over the last week, so despite being in “twehab” now, I’d recommend annyone to step out of their usually predictable, avoiding the word boring here ;-), self once in a while and do a tweetathon, like I did – I was in a total state of flow – now I need some more Zen!

Postludium: In #twehab now thanks to my wonderful friend @rasmusluckow, See you on the other side (the blogosphere and facebook)

Kind regards

Kim Bach in #twehab

ps. I’ll keep tweeting links to my pictures, blog-posts and what have you, and I will engage in dialogue on twitter, but I’d really prefer the dialogue to take place on the blog, Google Wave, Chat, IRC or Mail.

Superlative?

Stay while I recount the crazy TF2 kill I managed yesterday, my friends.
I’ll spare you my dream then…Nah…Thugs were trying to kill me because they didn’t like that I tried to stop them from killing dogs, for fun, by wailing like a ghost. A kid in the supermarket wouldn’t stop his lift, just kept on going, sliding me through the aisle, eventually dropping the load. The he gave me two bananas that began morphing into a potted plastic flower that spewed some nasty stuff, I told him that I hoped he had to cover the damages from his allowance! BAD! BAD! Kid – ugly too, a nasty redheaded geek with glasses and pimples. That’s when I woke up – thank God!

The comic-stip is from the wonderful xkdc, this one really hit home, and I’ve been waiting for the chance to use it a blog post.

The Perfect Gentleman

Creepy

OK, I need your advise.

An attractive, rather thrashed, woman walks up to me asking for directions to a bar, I find it using my tech-wizardry, she MUST have known where it was, she claimed that she had lived in that street, I wished her a pleasant night, and we went our seperate ways.

I now see that there were several other doors I could have choosen:

1. Showed her the way
2. Asked if I could join her
3. Suggested that we went somewhere else

Did I choose the right door, in post-cog I think that I should have tried door number 3, I was high on culture from last nights Kulturnat event, and there are several places that are better suited for spirtual encounters than Wessels Kro.

ps. I think that I should have, at least, tried door number 1, it would have let to the possibility of choosing the other two. Hey I might finally be getting the rules if this game, it is a very strange game, and I thought the only way to win is by not playing https://www.kimbach.org/2009/06/28/game-theory/

pps. Suggesting that you go “somewhere else”, is much like saying you want to “park the car” – I should have picked door #1.

Kindle and Sony PRS-505I’ve been waiting for the Kindle to be launched in Denmark, I’ve wanted one since I laid my hands on one at Reboot 11 in June. So now I know what I’m getting for my birthday.

Yes, the Kindle has it’s problems, and I fear that it will end in my hardware graveyard, alongside my Palm Vx (which I loved, and read books on) and my Compaq PDA (which I loved, and read books on), but the Kindle is a different creature, much like the iPod, it’s focusing on a specific application and has connected that with a clear business model, I see it as a connected object, a beautiful combination of form and function, something Microsoft has never understood, and that Apple has abandoned, except with the iPod Shuffle.

KISS!

For those oblivious to what a Kindle is, it’s an eBook reader developed by Amazon. Amazon’s vision is to make all books ever published available in digital form, and Jeff Bezos can repeat after Steve Jobs: “we have xx millions of accounts, AND they come with creditcards”. I believe that it will take talent for Amazon to fumble this.

Attending atoms&bits Camp in Berlin this weekend. Looking forward to, once again, operate with a blown mind

Anb Logo 512I’m really exited about going to Berlin for the first time, my visit will not be your typical tourist trip, because I’ve signed up for the atoms&bits Camp than will take place this Saturday and Sunday the 26th and 27th of September-2009.

So what is atoms&bits about? The website http://www.atomsandbits.net/english sums it up:

Atoms and bits – the smallest elements in our modern society.
From these tiny elements our daily lives are composed, we can use these to build new ways to improve our lives.
This realization is the first step towards change and also the basis of a new movement, that does not yet exist.

atoms&bits is a festival that culminates with a two day Camp is following the rules of BarCamp, and I’ve signed up for both days.

I’m already familiar with the rules of BarCamp, having participated in the three we’ve had in Copenhagen, as a co-organiser of the two previous BarCamps in Copenhagen, as well as the recent SocialmediaCamp Copenhagen.

I just love the format of BarCamp, but must admit that we’ve been in a crisis, so one of the main reasons I’m going to Berlin is to get inspiration to grow BarCamp in Copenhagen and Denmark.

I must admit that I’ve been too passive, and just followed in the footsteps of my partner in crime, the wonderful Henriette Weber of Tootheless Tiger, who’s a bundle of energy. She knows me, and she’s given me good challenges for the Camps we’ve co-organised, she’s doing the hardest part of the organising, like finding a venue, but I’m getting ready to do more.

Looking forward to meeting some wonderful people, having lots of fun helping giving birth to this new movement and to, once again, operate with a blown mind!

Please accept my sincere apologies for violating your privacy and sending out tons of facebook invites

Dear Friends,

Please accept my sincere apologies for being so reckless as to giving my e-mail credentials to facebook, resulting in you getting reminders to join facebook.

What happened was that I had this crazy idea July 3rd 2009, that I should invite everyone I knew to join facebook, I should have known better, since I’ve done something similar in the past (“Angels” and “Demons” are lurking in your web-mail – kim.bach invites you to join Zorpia).

What I didn’t realise was that facebook sends out reminders to the people that you’ve invited, and that they do that approximately every fortnight, not good.

Facebook is behaving very aggressive, because you don’t get notifications that they’ve sent out reminders.

I’m begining to understand how facebook is building their empire. First facebook uses e-mail to spread, removing trust in e-mail, meaning that people look to things like facebook’s integrated mail system because it’s private.

I hope that I’ve put an end to this, by removing all pending invites and deleting all my e-mail invitations from the Invite History.

You can manage your invitations by selecting the menu item “Friends/Invite” and then selecting “View all invitations”. A list of all the invitations that you’ve sent out should appear, and you can manage the invitations from there.

So please accept my sincere apologies, and I promise that it will not happen again. I have the faint hope that you, at some point – in the distant future – might considering trusting me again.

Kind regards and sorry

Kim Bach
