“It seems OZ5ACU is thinking”

Thursday, January 27th, 2005

If you can, why not do a do-it-yourself documentary? And if you have it, why not use a song that has morse codes in the lyrics?

Måske får han skiftet plasticskoene med jernsko midlertidigt

Tuesday, January 25th, 2005

Alt for længe troede kollega B at kollega A havde sendt en artikel om valg, fortalt i stærkt indforståede metaforer.

Det bliver spændende. Ellingtons sidste træning har været fin. Thomas kørte intervaller med ham i lørdags, og Camilla rider ham en tur på torsdag.

Et søm har generet Kipketer

Kipketer kommer snart ind på banen til hurtigarbejde igen, men lidt forsinket efter at han har fået en øm hov efter beskæring og påsætning af nye sko. Et søm har generet, og den ømhed (eller betændelse) skal lige helt væk, før han igen skal gå hurtigt på bane. Måske får han skiftet plasticskoene med jernsko midlertidigt.

Today’s subject line (3 in a series)

Saturday, January 22nd, 2005

Undauntedly, we continue our series of Today’s Subject Line, only because it’s so popular. Coming all the way from 1995, it demonstrates how short subject lines aren’t necessarily the best subject line. It’s an oldie but a whatever. In fact, this subject line is so old that, had it not been a subject line, but, say, a little boy or a girl, there would be a slight chance that it would want to work at a family restaurant.

Danish news sites, incoherently

Monday, January 10th, 2005

If you think Danish news sites are widely known for their being cutting-edge, none of us here at the secret agent office would agree. Let’s just mention bar fights. Or any other kind of fight. When they – hungry for the Next Big Thing in Making Lots of Money on the Internet (enormous front page banners and popups), tried to stop deep-linking, people, otherwise considered well-balanced and cheerful, became depressed, sad and heaven knew they were miserable then.

Today, only a few internet centuries later, the sites begin to loosen their ads-are-it tie. Following the August 2004 RSS breakout from public service broadcaster DR (pronounced “deia”), top-something-newspaper Politiken breaks the commercial ice with a handful of RSS feeds.

Another good thing is the Weekendavisen website’s new article layout. It’s actually the IHT basic layout, only more appealing – and clearly carrying design elements from the wooden edition. But that’s clearly off-topic, the editor says, and we all nod, yes it is, it will never make it to the final version. Unless we use the word incoherently in the headline, one agent says.

Turning back to feeds.dk, we find ourselves looking at perhaps one of the biggest steps ahead. Yes, the feed index has chosen to let you Styrelize any listed feed. If you don’t, then why are you still reading? Why is this in English? And there we have it, the all-embracing point and message of it all.

More feeds.

Body language for politicians

Thursday, January 6th, 2005

It’s boring because it’s old news. But, seriously, it’s more than half of anything we say. Danish politician Marianne Jelved knows this. And she’s not afraid to use it. The only question swimming around in the spin soup is if she’s being sarcastic or just stressing her point?
