-#A productive week
+#A source of inspiration
 
-This was the week where I first saw an online talk with Aral Balkan.
-He is an english designer, software developer and human data rights
-activist. He moved from the UK because of new data anti encryption
-laws there and is currently living in Malmö. He and his wife Laura
-have a work platform Ind.ie, that remind me of CouchDesign. They've
-created an app, Better, that stops you from being tracked while surfing
-the web.
+I'd like to invite everybody to see
+[this online talk with Aral Balkan](https://ind.ie/beyond-the-clouds/).
 
-In his talk he explained everything I believe is important for software
+In his talk he explains everything I believe is important for software
 development: The 1 % surveilling our every move through online services.
 How we can take back our human and democratic rights through design of
-decentralised services. He advocates the use of [Ethical Design](https://ind.ie/ethical-design/),
-an ethical dogma that respects human rights, effort. That means designing
-technology that is "decentralised, private, open, interoperable, accessible,
-secure and sustainable", "functional, convenient and reliable" as well as
-"delightful".

-I heard about him and the concept of Ethical Design from Jonas, when he
-got home from Aarhus, presenting himself for the new team of students at
-the [Chaos Pilot University](http://www.kaospilot.dk/). (He runs the
-network Homebase there). His colleague Anders pointed towards the specific
-talk as further reference for the students, and Jonas was eager to show
-it to me when he returned home. It strook me as brilliant in its clear
-and straightforward communication, it is definitely fuel for my motivation
-to move on with the software projects in Debian Design.

-However, that is now what I have been working on. Well, indirectly I have,
-since I've spent two days working to bring down the update waiting time
-for the editing role on the website [Byvandring.nu](http://byvandring.nu/).
-I have also created a first draft of [a tag pool for
-Vejviseren](http://byvandring.nu/vejviseren/arkiv) the [blog](http://byvandring.nu/vejviseren)
-of the site. All created with the [Ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info/) compiler.
-I also fixed a few things that has annoyed my eye for a while.
-
-Like many other projects, this website is a work in progress, a prototype,
-a place where I practice and learn. There are things that work well,
-others don't exactly work well, but I'm on it. The author uses it
-actively, and sometimes I also get to do some artwork. It's essentially
-gratifying. And then the annoyances. I am on them with renewed enthusiasm.
-
-About the annoyance, I need to work on that more. I tend to get annoyed
-with all the things that could be better. My designs, my routines,
-my skills. I get so frustrated, that I sometimes explode and take it out
-on Jonas, and so I did this week. Our relationship survived, however.
-
-I've spent two more days on a brochure design to be presented next week.
-I'll share it when it's done.

-I'll create a routine to share more of my work.
+It's everything I believe in, beautifully put.
 
-During the week I had half a day in Holbæk. I went for a meeting with a
-former colleague from the small publishing group Fjordliv, I was a member
-of a few years back (it's closed now). She has a book on the way, and
-invited me to set it up for her, which I'll be happy to do. I love
-designing books.
-
-This week my choir, Orøkoret, started the new season. Every thursday evening
-I'll be occupied singing and socializing with other local voices, endorphins
-flowing.
-
-I had been looking forward to a lamp making course saturday, but we were
-supposed to be outside, and it was raining, starting half an hour before
-and continuing for the rest of the day, so we called it off, and will try
-again next saturday.
-
-It's been a rainful week, and I have spent about an hour every day cutting
-grass with scythe, raking and moving those small stacks of grass or pulling
-burning nettles out of the soft, wet ground.
-
-##What's next
-
-Coming up is a meeting with my co-developer of design solutions at Friis-Holm
-Chocolate. He and the owner are old friends, but hard to get at, because
-of the busy life at the chocolate factory and the many conventions they
-attend. So now we have decided to meet regurlarly, but shortly, every other
-week. I'm convinced it will speed up our development time and also be
-even more fun and interesting. We have a lot of designs on the way, but I'm
-most excited to show him the bochure, it's really something.
-
-Monday I'll join a course on sociocratic methods in local development projects.
-This is related to the project [Mejeriet](http://mejeriet.oroe.dk/).

-Yoga classes start tuesdag. I need this. I want to get back in my habit
-of doing the five tibetans every morning, and my teacher is a strong advocate
-of that particular habit, so I get to get a push in the back every week.
+Watch the talk here: https://ind.ie/beyond-the-clouds/
 
-Also a meet-up in the local artist network is scheduled tuesday evening.
-An exhibition is on its way, and we have two books on the way, which I am
-designing, and have been putting off for a month now. The time has finally
-arrived to restart those processes.
+Jonas heard about Aral Balkan and the concept of Ethical Design at the

-Saturday will be the lamp workshop.
+It strikes me as brilliant in its clear and straightforward communication,
+and it could be a great source of inspiration for Debian Design.
