One day left. What’s up with this time thing. It felt like we passed midsummer only days ago. Scary!
I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. I’ll also take the opportunity to tell you that over at my other company JAJDO we’re giving away our apps for free as a christmas gift to children all over the world. So if you’ve got access to an iPhone or iPad. Head over to JAJDO and grab your gift!
psst. You haven't missed the new app for kids aged 1-9 years old? It's created by my other company JAJDO. Check it out in the App store
Some of you probably know about my little venture called JAJDO. Together with Jonas Theder and Andreas Wålm I’ve set out to build an app factory. So far it’s a small factory and it’s taken some time to fine tune the assembly line but we’ve finally made it. Our first app is live in the app store!

The first event is beeing held north of Stockholm with about 40 people attending the party and I’m honored to be one of them. Don’t worry – there will be new events following this one so get your but mouse over to the TEDx Stockholm website and show your interest.

Richard is asking us all to contribute with some sort of inspirational thing communication how to create the “best start in life for our children”.
As always I couldn’t keep my fingers out of the jam. 1 hour later I submitted this:
My parents always thought I spend to much time in front of my computer. Personally I’m afraid my kids won’t spend enough time there.
If there’s anything I’m sure of its the fact that kids growing up with a sound relation to computers will create a strong platform for the rest of their life.
This is why I love Scratch. Scratch is a programming language suitable for kids that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art — and share your creations on the web.
So, if you’ve got kids – move them from slaying other people in war games to building applications in Scratch.
