Book A Week Project

I proclaimed some time ago that I would spend a few months on catching up on a lot of literature that I have been wanting to read for a long time. My challenge was to read a book every week until my head was too full of information.

As we are very busy in our daily work and I am spending quite a few hours teaching every week I realized that use audio-books to retrieve my goal. After the first five or six books I lost count but today I did a little review and found out that I managed to read 12 books in 9 weeks.

I still have a few titles waiting on “the shelves” but I think that future goal is a book a month from now on. I might even read a good novel if somebody has a suggestion.

This is the list of books I have read so far:

Unleashing The Ideavirus - Seth Godin
The Circle Of Innovation - Tom Peters
Blue Ocean Strategy - W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne
Creating Customer Evangelists - Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba
The Ten Faces Of Innovation - Tom Kelly
Made To Stick - Chip Heath and Dan Heath
The Tipping Point - Malcolm Gladwell
Wikinomics - Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams
Blink - Malcolm Gladwell
Small Is The New Big - Seth Godin
All Marketers Are Liars - Seth Godin
Waiting For Your Cat To Bark? - Bryan Eisenberg and Jeffrey Eisenberg

Brand spanking new office!

It’s been a while without an update, this is what Narrow has been up to for the last couple of weeks:

46H

Together with our good friend and collegue Mette Ohlendorff, Thomas has been deeply involved in the reframing / rebranding of the New Media education “Multimediedesigneruddannelsen” in Køge. Thomas has been acting as a Concept developer and New Media Designer on the project. Thomas is also teaching New media design on the school. See 46H photos on Flickr

From Mette Ohlendorff’s blog:
“The name, 46h, is based on the geographical location of the school: Køge – the area code being 4600. Numbers are great because they put you on the top of lists and are easy to remember ;o). The visual identity is a manifestation of the physical framework and the educations core area: digital media. The logo consists of squares, which both illustrate the pixel, which is the corner stone of digital, visual communication. And represent the individual students desks that like lego can be put together in infinite, creative combinations.” Read the whole post on Mette’s blog

DSU
We’ve had a couple of really good meetings with the good people from DSU (Danish Social democratic Youth Party). Hopefully we will make a killer Web 2.0 production together over the summer. to help us with this, we’ve teamed up with Copenhagen’s nr. 1 Rock n’ Roll Drupla designer Morten.dk. He is the the one half of web design oldschoolers nogetmedild.dk. We don’t know Morten’s last name, but that doesn’t really matter, he’s just morten.dk to us.

Wonderfull Copenhagen
Hopefully we will soon get started writing the Social Software report to WoCo. We are really up for it! We have the final budget meeting with Woco in a couple of days, so hopefully it won’t be long.

Mads Reinholt
Mads is a cool Social democratic guy from Frederiksberg who is trying to make his way into “Folketinget”. We are helping Mads making some really cool guerilla marketing stunts and events over the next half a year. We will also make him a MySpace page, a Wordpress blog and a bunch of print materials.
