The Planning Lab

See you in Cannes

This week has been detrimental for The Planning Lab (and anything else that's not work-related) as noticed by the amount of output lately. Luckily, I'll be recharging my batteries in south of France next week.

Hopefully I'll have time to blog from there next week.

Stuff to look forward to in 2008

After a long, blog-free holiday The Planning Lab is now open for business again. Here are some things I'm looking forward to in 2008:

#1. The death of Facebook apps

#2. A black US president

#3. Our new office

In a couple of weeks, our agency (StockholmOne) plus sister agency (IK Stockholm) are moving one block to Drottninggatan 92-94.

#4. The rebirth of a movie icon

#5. iPhone in Sweden

My apologies

Haven't updated The Planning Lab for a while, I know. We're putting all efforts into getting new clients to the firm, and are pitching for a travel agency, a chocolate company, a software & hardware giant and a supermarket chain.

Friday fun: YMCA in Finnish

The Finns are not only masters of mobile-phone making, they can also boogie.

Concentrated water - filed under stupid

Luxist writes about the world's most expensive water: Kona Nigiri, made from Hawaiian seawater that's high in minerals. A six centiliter bottle sells for 33.50 dollars (about SEK 3 775 per litre) and is meant to be diluted into regular water. Claimed benefits: weight loss, stress reduction, skin tone, and digestion.

Apparently, 80,000 bottles off the stuff go to Japan every day. I'm dumbstruck!

Mmm, bacon...
