Vlogging is more entertaining than blogging – I changed my scene… Yup! What I mean is that I usually wrote a lot before but now I can’t hold back anymore. I needed to talk and walk at the same time and record it. A lot of my blog posts are now actually video vlogs instead. As I think video makes more of a presence and feels better to interact with my viewers.

What platform should I use? Youtube or Facebook…

I started to use youtube some years back on my company channel youtube.com/macgeni and after some time I started my own private channel and removed irrelevant videos and just started uploading vlog videos. My goal is to make more videos with inspirational content or just my advise.

Why should I be interesting in a video?

I thought about this a lot as I feel I am a private person. But as I follow others like Peter McKinnon, Cody Wanner and Casey Neistat I started to feel that it doesn’t matter who you are. If I can inspire just 1 person – that will make me very satisfied. And I also have a lot of knowhow because of my interest for photography and video in my company barnerdesign.com I knew my interest will fuel my passion for creative creation.

I find that everyone is interesting if you find the time for them to find that something in them or their passion! I really enjoy people talt about their passions – and I love talking about my own and giving out good advice.

With that in mind I am not worried and after filming for a year though only releasing about 5-6 videos.

Editing videos – just takes a lot of time!

Perfectionists are impossible – and I am one… It just takes time to cut, edit, soundedit and color correct and much much more… Wow! I knew this before but now it seems I have just gotten better at making videos but that also takes me more time. I recommend keeping a schedule of when to upload. But I don’t have a lot of subscribers just yet. Maybe it will never happen – but I guess I am fine with it. As long as one person or more feels inspired.

What language should I speak!?

Yes I am a dane and I speak Danish as all other Danes in Denmark. But I can see on my MacGeni Channel on youtube that my English videos perform way better and the respons is just awesome. We as Danes do not ‘like’ things that much on social media it seems. We are not a very outgoing people – we tend to think “don’t think you are better than me!” which is a typical feeling many Danes will have. And I don’t care for it… So: I decided to speak English in my videos and yes that also makes me edit more video where I cut out all the mistakes haha!

Brands can use the ‘sharded self’ trend positivelyThanks to the internet, everyone has a voice. But it’s not always the nicest voice: “There are a lot of trolls out there,” pointed out Walker.One trend seen in the work submitted to this year’s D&AD Awards is that brands are starting to reformulate the negativity into a positive message. A standout project mentioned by both The Future Laboratory and the White Pencil panel was This Is Wholesome by Honey Maid, a traditional American snack brand that wanted to reposition itself as progressive.Last year, Honey Maid launched a bold campaign featuring divorced, interracial and same-sex families. It brought the company a lot of attention – not all of it good. So this year, the brand responded to its trolls with another ad juxtaposing the hate with the love.It took the negative tweets, printed them and made an instalation that spelled ‘love’, which it surrounded with positive tweets [above]. “If you want to be relevant, you have to be able to exist in the world that’s happening around you,” said Google Creative Lab executive creative director Steve Vranakis, who was on the White Pencil jury.

A gadget that is named as the world’s first projection watch, doing precisely what you would anticipate: project the time on your skin of your hand when you need it to. Then again, this is simply one feature of what the device does.

We have a masterpiece that’s the size of a very fashionable bracelet which fits in perfectly with the requirements of fashion cautious folks. whereas the android Wear watches are pretty bulk-ish, this one is tiny and therefore the use of projection technology is sensible.

Extra features

At first look, Ritot will solely tell you the time however that’s not the case. It also acts sort of a notification device, giving info about text messages, incoming call IDs, emails, calendar reminders, messages on social networks and additional. Everything is practically projected on the back of the user’s hand and vibration is used to tell the user subtly once notifications exist.

Those intrigued can change projection shading on included remote charging cushion. Shaking your hand also charges the watch. After you push the button on the smartwatch, the data is shown for ten seconds.

Ritot’s battery lasts for 150 hours of projection time. The gadget is waterproof and you can wear it on both arms.

Funny IKEA commercial making fun of Apple. I love when people take other companies perspectives or in this case make fun of what actually works when Apple creates a TV commercial / ad. IKEA decided to take on that concept and see if it works. Also it has references to a norwegian joke about Book support, that you can watch here.

IKEA does a great job at re-selling the concept of a book in a tech world filled with tablets, iPads, iPhone and tech – a bookbook = a free IKEA catalog.

I laughed so much and also because it is so well though. Nice spin-off of Apple commercials and ads. Enjoy 🙂
