Heineken is trying to tap into club culture with an interactive bottle design that uses micro sensors and wireless technology to interact with drinkers. The LED lights react when people toast each other and sip from the bottle, and they can be synchronized to music as well.

This is Patrick Watson with Blackwind.
I’ve liked Patrick, even since I heard him sing To Build A Home. A song that’s really close to my heart.

View from the skies. All the way from France, through Belgium, Holland, Germany, and home to Denmark.

This is the reason for the silence on the blog this past week. I went to the conference and festival South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas once again. This year I only went for Interactive though. And not Music and Film, as I did last year.

Yet again it was an explosion of inputs. Wherever you are, there’s cool and interesting people around you. It’s hard to choose which session to go to, because the amount of interesting topics is major. I always try to go to some, that are not the obvious choice for my field – to get another kind of inspiration, than what I usually get. If I only went to the obvious ones, we could all just sit there and agree – and not really feel that we received anything from it.

Asgeir Trausti – Heimförin

Asgeir Trausti - Heimförin 1 Asgeir Trausti - Heimförin 2

I’m such a sucker for men singing like they’re just about to burst into tears. The vulnerability that Icelandic Ásgeir Trausti shows is right up my alley. My God! I’ve heard it on repeat for two days now.

Live version of Heimförin from Ásgeir Trausti’s debut album “Dýrð í dauðaþögn”. Recorded at Hljóðriti studio for Kastljós of RUV (The Icelandic National Broadcasting Service) in september 2012.

Big thanks to @kaspervillum for sharing this with me!
