Two days ago I got the news that my application for a TEDx license was approved. My idea is to host an event for around 75 people in Viggbyholm, Täby where I live. The focus of the event will be visualization and how design shape our ideas about the future.

The event will be held in Täby, Sweden on 18th April.  18:00 – 22:00.

Now there’s three things you can do:

1. Apply for a ticket – because the seats are limited there will be a draw monday next week.
2. Suggest speakers – if you know someone that can speak 5-10 minutes on visualization, let me know.
3. Spread the word. Tweet this post or copy the url of the TEDxViggbyholm site and spread it in your network.

Leon is a planner at the Stockholm branch of Jung von Matt. Apart from that he’s running a blog called The Planning Lab that I tap into on a daily basis. The other day he posted the sweet little visualization of the planning process above. 

Here’s two recommendations.
1. Read Leons blog.
2. Download the planning process if you’re into things like that. If not, do it anyway – you might learn something new!

Saturday. Got my sister’s kids over. After 20 books, 10 songs and probably 10 extra visits to the toilette (without result) before the little devils finally fell asleep there’s really no room for blogging. But while waiting for one of them to fall asleep I found this great visualization of innovation opportunities on Dion Hinchcliffe’s web 2.0 blog.

I love wine. I’ve been a wine collector since 18 years. I still have a problem defining what a certain grape or wine actually tastes like. Enjoying it is more important than the actual definition of it. That said, I’m glad to show you this wonderful visualization of wines by Carl Tashian found on Infosthetics, a great blog on just that. As said before – design differentiates and putting that extra time into the small things truly brings an extra level to any brand.

It’s in the details!
