Reboot 10 is on the way

Official Page (will be) here. By good fortune of being nearby in London at the time last year (close enough right?) I managed to catch the first for me, but amazingly ninth annual, Reboot conference in Copenhagen. Reboot is the grand-mum of open/un/bar-like conferences. A lot of smart people, 3 days and the conference is pretty much everything you make of it as an attendee.

You’ll know your in Copenhagen by the downtown bicycle traffic jams, preponderance of impossibly good-looking womenfolk (with babies everywhere, which seems hardly a coincidence), and blinding sunshine at nearly all hours of the day/night etc.

Thomas Mygdal says:

“it’s time to reboot our minds again. the 10th edition of reboot will take place in copenhagen, denmark the 26-27 of june.

reboot10 is an exploration of “free” – in every incarnation of the word. free information, free individuals, free culture, free societies, free markets, free products and services, free ideas, free culture, free knowledge, free tools, free platforms, free minds – you continue the list…

a real invitation to participate and a new version of the website including videos from last year (finally!) will be online and out in some days, but use this opportunity to book you calendar, book your flights and hotels cheaply, etc.

in terms of your planning reboot will start at 10am on the 26th (registration from 8am) and will run into the evening on the 27th with lounge/afterparty. ticket price is 250 euro for early bird and 350 euro for late birds.”

The difference between Apple and Microsoft

is that apple designs products for the end user. Microsoft designs products for channel partners and IT departments. And it shows.

Who doesn’t appreciate a delicious sandwich?

My old friend and recent-torontonian Jody Sugrue (portfolio) has launched a new design blog Eating Sandwiches. You may now add it to your reader.

For an unusual project, she is also looking for people to contribute pictures taken at exactly 10:15 a.m. This is much harder than you think. I have thus far forgotten to take a picture at exactly 10:15am for approximately 17 consecutive days (and counting).
