In lieu of a proper blogpost today you get three cool things, because I have to pass two exams an hour apart. 1) Arrivals Arrivals is an incredibly cool Foursquare app – probably the best I have ever seen. The idea is simple, take your foursquare data, turn your friends into aeroplanes, make an arrivals [...]
On Thursday I published my most popular post to date Why programmers work at night. After writing I was certain it wasn’t that interesting, sure it might be HN frontpage worthy – it never got there – but other than that I felt it wasn’t a very informative post, just musings of a hacker who has [...]
Ever since I started using twitter people have been accusing me that I talk too much. In the early days pretty much everyone told me this whenever we would meet in person, as more and more slovenians poured onto twitter and the whole thing has become a bit more mainstream it’s not that big a [...]
Sunday saw the eighth TEDxevent in Ljubljana and through immense luck I was able to attend despite forgetting to reserve a ticket.

Lately we have seen a plague of Next Better Widget ™ startups and bright minds all over the world solving frivolous problems that ultimately contribute nothing to the betterment of humanity as a whole. There are a bunch of people out there right now solving #firstworldproblems. A waste of talent! By being in the same [...]
Today I learned that being typecast as the Social Media Guy can put you in some pretty interesting spots. Doublerecall seems to have decided that when a launch page is made for something we’re thinking about Swizec is the guy who will figure out how to get enough traffic to run a valid experiment. Thing [...]
Today I might have accidentally learned more than two things, for which I am deeply sorry and I do apologize. The most mind blowing thing I learned today was a simple lesson in product design. @tantadruj was at some very expensive seminar by BJ Fogg last week and he explained the basic concept of making [...]
Everyone can probably agree that marketing on twitter is quite prolific to say the least. That there are a bunch of people marketing. That there are almost more brands using it as there are people.
