Well about four weeks ago I finally got my first car. Due to taxes in Denmark and the level of insurance costs – my initial plan of getting a Mercedes Benz had to be changed.

Here she is it’s a beauty!

A near mint condition Toyota Corolla 1,6 XLI from 1994. She’s only got around 100 000 kilometers on her and even though I saw this program that stated that we have nearly depleted all oil resources and some nonsense about the arctic melting I don’t care.

From now on there is no more walking or taking the bus. Global warming You say – well it’s cold and rainy in Denmark :-)

Why are humans wired that way?

Intresting point made by one of the grand old men of blogging.

To me, Web 2.0 is about trying to get right those layers of the stack that we weren’t able to get right the last time around.

One of the central themes of Web 2.0 is the ability for users to control their own data and the ability for people to share and remix. In this context, many, if not most good Web 2.0 services allow users to download, link and reuse all if not a substantial part of the content they work on.

I think that hits one of the new web2 paradigms right on. Don’t lock users in by holding their data captive – allow them to export, and keep offering a service that is so good that they don’t want to do it.

Still I also find youtube.com to be web 2 – even thoght it does not offer a one zip file download of the users content.

Remember asteoriods? the game where you are a little vector spaceship that needs to shoot huge rocks asteroids?

Well some one turned it around.

You are now an asteroid that need to hit ships that shoots at you @ flashninjaclan.com/
