“A giant inflatable dog turd by American artist Paul McCarthy blew away from an exhibition in the garden of a Swiss museum, bringing down a power line and breaking a greenhouse window before it landed again, the museum said Monday.
Calvin Klein made a commercial which shows Eva Mendes’ nipple. This upset the US TV execs so they blocked it from the fragile minds of American viewers. This caused such good stir that you’d be forgiven to think it was done so by design.
You’d be wrong, apparently. The Youtube version is ‘no longer available due to violation of terms’. So either Calvin Klein asked YouTube to yank all copies off their servers due to copyright violation, or YouTube has done the same as their more traditional counterparts over at the networks.
Either way, somebody is not thinking.
I believe so much in the power of the idea, it hurts.
And when that idea is free, the power multiplies. Because the idea that travels, picks up speed and pace and potential as it hops from brain to brain, situation to situation until it finds its designated spot where it can stop, wait and be the lightning rod for change, is an idea that has real value.
So in this spirt, I’d like to give away ideas. I’ve set up an idea stream on leonjacobs.com called Vonk!
Vonk is the Afrikaans word for spark.
Many sparks make a flame. Geddit?
You are free to browse, use, and do with these whatever you like – as long if you attribute them back to the source page on the site. Importantly, I implore you to try and build on the ideas that you’d like to use. They are by no means perfect, they are merely a stab in the dark. Incomplete, a moment of inspiration, waiting to be improved upon.
According to Marc Benioff, guest blogging on Techcrunch, Web 3.0 is here. Apparently is works like this:
Guesses for 4.0?
