What makes you smile?

I know I fell for this viral attempted. Probably because it’s Friday and I’m smiling a lot today. Not only because it’s Friday but because I live in the best city (top 5 at least) in the world Barcelona, the sun is shining from a blue sky, the weather is still great even though it’s October, I feel that our plans for the future are becoming much more “clearly” if you know what I mean. 31 years old and I think I have finally realised what it is I want to do for a living and how I am going to be able to do just that.

BBC want you to share what makes you smile on their new site Headroom. Or you can let me know in the comments! :)

Twits: Episode 1

The first episode of Washington Post’s “internet show” (not really sure what to call this one) called Twits launched the other day. To explain what it is I’ll just copy their own words:

“Finally, celebrity Twitter feeds get the attention they deserve: dramatic readings.”

Twitter and similar real time updates can be a good tool to express and consume information, but it is also a tool for extremely self absorbed people to get even more attention… And they do :)

Actually this does reminds me a bit of my own little attempted to summarise what people (not necesarly celebrities…) talk about on micro blogs called Mikrobloggar.se (in Swedish). Didn’t continue with that one though. But who knows, the site might come to life again in a different shape. I’ll just have to focus on the other pile of business ideas at the moment. Also if you haven’t seen Tweetweek (from which I got the idea to do something similar in Swedish) go check it out. Even though it seems like Julia Roy also got other things to do than telling people about what other people tweet these days.

Improv Everywhere produces a yearbook…

I just love what the people at Improv Everywhere do. I can’t remember one single of their “missions” being a bad one. You probably heard of the more famous ones: Frozen Grand Central, No Pants subway ride and Food Court Musical.

Yesterday they put up yet another video on their blog and this time the people of New York City got their picture taken for an “upcoming yearbook”. If you needed you could also borrow a mirror to make sure you look good.

To capture people like this with a photo in their every day life isn’t such a bad idea actually. It would be really fun to be able to go back and look at your own “yearbook photo” taken in the streets or why not on the subway. I’m up for it and I would absolutely be interested in seeing a “yearbook” of how the people in my city looked liked and the surroundings at that very moment in time. Well at least to be able to go back to a specific date and watch it on a web site.
