I am at www.fsf.se/sd08 the biggest national conference on small business and entrepreneurship. One hour ago Professor Bengt Johannisson got the informally coined 'little Nobel Prize on Entrepreneurship research, named as above. More detail later, lunch is over. My sincere and deep gratulations to a beyond well-deserved recognition for more than three decades of dedicated passion to understand the phenomenon. You're only half-time ;).
Yeah, we rise, and I hope I will also shine when I get up tomorrow morning to catch the morning train to Örebro...
The music will make me glow, anyways :) !
Yesterday I blogged about my ID tags (Identity Tags, my around 50 words capturing "me"). And, since I usually say "MUSIC - when words are not enough", I leave the rest of the blog post intentionally blank (where I just add to say that living up to the promise on how the ID tag entered my life in this case is shared in the biography section over at http://www.zude.com/djanders - my authorized musical biography), and instead share with you my primary energy source directly - go to my promo mixes section over at my community! http://djanders.ning.com!
Enjoy!

[MUSIC]

REFLECTION: Aha, someone up there has fun with me :). Today, need to rename this daily blog note Phrase of the Day, ha ha.
Here I begin and initiate a stream of XotD's - xomething of the day, and it is words and tunes. And of course, they had to be unified as phenomena - or at least one bridging to the other - by having the transferred (or shall I say trance-ferred ;) meaning in the Music field.
Flow continues.
I realize that the first ID tag comes natural (see post from yesterday) - "music". But, I have to ponder on how to phrase that tag that stands for my communication mode when I cannot find words enough ;). Heh. But I'll figure it out, I rest assured.
Today it struck me like that insight coming as a lightning, that one other optimal way to keep intense daily blogging as a routine strong like brushing your teeth besides adding Tunes and Words of the day (see tags wotd and totd), that I should devote one post per ID Tag. See my profile, here it is;

So, usually when this Tagged Interest form field shows up in different profile queries on the web, this amazingly wonderful connection of consciousness and utility for unification (thanks Tim-Berners Lee - I hope you take it to the next level with the Semantic Web!), I throw in this extended version, trying to grasp central elements of me (I have notes about this in my profile).
First time stumbled upon, credited Ecademy and their 50 Words, summer 2004. Now I have these as a way to "collapse degrees of separation" e. g. on the back of my business card, and the interesting thing that occurs, that in a millisecond when people see it, they land on a tag, and a conversation kicks off!
This is a way to avoid the stupid question, "what do you do for a living?", where you maybe should ask "what do you live for doing?". We are not professional identities, we are ourselves.
And the "doing" is our most powerful communication and transfer mode. There is no more powerful rhetoric than the deed.
In essence here lies non-violent communication. Or, I really do not like to talk in negatives, so let's talk about peaceful communication!
So, beginning today, I will devote one 300 to 500 word posting a day with a story why this ID tag entered in my walk of life, with relation: where, when, how, who - and what it means to me.
Now I have to rush to the library before they close, because I have spotted a book related to one of these tags :).
Peace,
Anders
With nothing more said than that. Mobile blogging.

REFLECTION: A word with a contrast
To neck a hen. Nah, not me, me no likes, me vegetarian. Dutch "nekken", to kill. Or to show love, to hug someone around the neck.
And by the way, "näck" in Swedish is semi-slang for "naked", or "naken" in normal Swedish. In the flesh, yeah. But do not kill and eat me :).
What an amazingly beautiful tune! From the Swedish producer Carl Barrdahl. Another Swede in the trancey corner of EDM making great success :). Watch out for that massive breakdown at 2.24...
Chasing Leaves? Maybe this was produced from an original spark, when the Autumn red-green-grey-yellow show started with trees getting naked :). Anyways, the epitome of playfulness - to chase things that fly in the air - leaves, butterflies, plastic bags, balloons, Airbus 380s...
Tune of the Day.
Not to distract the DJ Anders Blog from the kind-of professional and profession-related news (see www.djanders.info for the distribution of web presences), I followed my intuition and the moment of being to also introduce a reflection of the stream of energy that keeps up my "Qi" or "Prana" - and the mode of communication when I do not have words. Music.
Moment: The weather (tenki, japanese...) here in Norrköping this morning was very windy and rainy. Oh, what bad weather, I thought, and happy to be inside. Then Benyas mix from Global DJ Broadcast of Dec 13, 2007 was flowing from my Sony Ericsson P1i through the handsfree brain saving headphones - with the tune above. The tune harmonized with a sort-of Yin-Yang principle, two sides of everything, the one thing from one thing is there to be found in the other to keep harmony (ai) of life energy (ki) to follow your life path (do). Ai-Ki-Do.
These things are hard to transform with words, and as I say - Music, when Words are not Enough. Transfer and transcend in communication. So, paradoxically, the spirit of the tune in the mix, a remix of of Everything But The Girl "Missing" by Tenishia, together with one line - in Text! - got me going!
What was found with intuitive insight was this;
"I miss you
Like the desert miss the rain"
Yes, self-concluding.
The weather in Norrköping - rainy. Windy. Not nice.
But if we were in Kalahari or Nevada, it would be warmly welcomed, to go from hot to warm. Like the desert miss the rain.
When the insight came to me, the sun was breaking through the grey clouds, and now almost all the greyness is replaced with deep sky blue.
Time for N/A - Next Action, in order to GTD, get things done. Harmony prevails.
