apps and services at global level

As more and more people start to create small niched services/apps etc (just think about the 40 billion downloads on iOS recently announced http://feber.se/ios/art/260612/40_miljarder_appar_nedladdade_/ [link to swe text]).

I think more and more providers need to consider how to scale services or be able to export concepts faster.
This also includes the big players. Being out side of US the amount of content is experienced as very very limited.

I had realized it more and more after leaving US 2012 autumn with a new Android Nexus tablet. Even do the Nexus is available in Sweden, when you seen all the content available in US usage isn't as overwhelming anymore.

Of course quality of content is an issue it self, since there is so much, but still. Not being able to browse the "magazine" section in the Google Play store was a experience set back for me. And does not help me to move towards a paperless life-stile yet. (and no i'm not taking any short cut around it proxy:ing etc).

So how will digital consumption vs rights owners work this out?
And how quickly?

Training update

As winter progress and the indoor move is done, maintenance of stamina is ongoing. And re-building some core strength. Some really good first results. Going to be interesting to see how a run will go around new years.

Training winter season

It's that time again, to protect your health it will require you to invest in it as well. So this is why I got back to the gym now for the indoor season, the winter. To ensure i'm coming out strong and ready for spring. Let's see how it goes! There will be some target's shaping up here on the blog!

Time vs Value

As more and more people spend loads of time on "face time" at an office. Understanding value of time and effort becomes more and more challenging. http://blogs.hbr.org/hbsfaculty/2012/06/stop-working-all-those-hours.html

Pandas, cartons and others in companies and music videos?

Many people most likely remember a song and a character from and old jeans commercial "Mr. Oizo Flat Beat". And it's on a rampage back in to loads of this things... There is even a Spotify Panda that keeps hanging out at the office and the company party's!

Get fresh air and go to the gym!

Gym's out door in Stockholm is something only a few people might find when out exploring and or running!

So here is a link to explain more and also a map!

Enjoy!

Sports, workout, running or surfing

After a tricky period of daily schedule challenges, lack of focus and overview the irregular training got to me. First it did not really bother me, however, today when rebuild it does make reminders...

However, the important thing is the lesson learned. Movement, sports exercise is what will keep you going and healthy.
Healthy is happy.

Don't forget simple workout will keep you happy in this computerized world of sitting down and in meetings...
