The problems with content rating

A popular, and in my opinion very important, Web 2.0 trend that many sites have embraced is to let users rate online content in different ways. Some of these sites, digg being a well known example, then promotes content in different ways based on the content’s user rating. While this often works great, I see […]


Deus Connectivus, the Online God

As social networking and the Web 2.0 grows bigger and bigger, we suddenly find ourselves in a world where we are no longer alone and insignificant.

I wrote and produced the vocals for this piece, but that work was nothing compared to […]

A growing collection of links

  • Fonts 500. Lots of free fonts for anyone to use. Most are crap, but there are a couple of gems in there.
  • Coda - an insanely great application. Just in case you missed it. Coda is the best thing for web developers in a long time.
  • Hans Rosling at TED. A truly inspiring presentation on international health by a fellow swede (opens in iTunes).
  • Why people still use tables and frames. Believe it or not, this is the personal web site of some swedish programming and web design teacher.
  • Rush - Snakes & Arrows This is some very nice artwork. I really like how that font is kind of clean but with a twist, especially the ampersand. Looking forward to the album too!
  • HTML is back on track. Now let's hope for a good relationship between W3C and WHATWG, so things can start happening.
  • May be old but this gorgeous animation about trusted computing must be seen!
