Giselle was staring at me…

…and I bought a 12″ vinyl on the spot, now I need a 1210?

12″ vinyl records are also being bought by teenagers to decorate their rooms, because they think that they look cool. This reminds me of something I experienced a few years ago, where I overheard this conversation on the train…

Teenager inspecting a 12″: “This is really cool, but do you understand how music comes out of it?”.

YouTube – Royksopp – Eple

This is ONE amazing music video, it captures the spirit of Scandinavia IMHO. I just love spotting the buildings from Copenhagen in it…

Installing Mac OS X Panther gave me the chills, and I didn’t realise/remember that the track was called Eple until last week…

ps. Panthers are SOOO much kewler than Tigers…But Leopards!!! Miaow!!!

Clinton Forbes: I will answer your questions: 10 Pros & Cons of switching from Windows to Mac OS X

Clinton Forbes: will answer your questions: 10 Pros & Cons of switching from Windows to Mac OS X

This is a PRETTY good list of the pros and cons of switching from Windows to Mac OS X.

Quote from Clinton Forbes weblog:

Overall I couldn’t be happier with my Mac Mini purchase. I’m not misty-eyed enough to think that it is completely angelic and perfect, but it is a major step above using Windows XP. And unless you are a rabid freedom-fighter it is a step above any Linux distribution out there. KDE and GNOME are still a long way away from achieving the polish that Apple has delivered with Mac OS X. And the next release, with lots of nice improvements, is only a couple of months away…

I totally agree…Get a Mac mini cheapest model to get your feet wet…It’s the PERFECT entertainment centre.

I have also invested in a Elgato eyeTV, and I’m ditching my old CRT in favour of a projector, FrontRow is aboslutely WONDERFUL, I usually stream music from my PowerBook, I used to use an AirPort Express to do that, but using FrontRow is SO much better, I love the remote. And now I’m investing in a mStation Tower, so my NAD amplifier and my speakers are being relegated to the back room.

So that I can watch, and record analog and Digitral Terestial TV, especially DR2.

Mac mini the cheapest COOL computer on the market!

Review: Bob Log III in Stengade Copenhagen: the fastest hand in the west – THIS I’m trained for

Bob Log the thirdThe fastest 5 piece (foot number one, foot number two, “monkey hand”, “beer drinking hand” and voice) band in the world, Bob Log III came (didn’t see a a G.. D… thing) and CONQUERED Stengade 30 on fridag the 20th-2006.

I was very lucky…I was in the bar, and suddenly you hear this amazing fast blues slide, and I see a man in black and a helmet brandishing a guitar walking towards the stage from the back of the room, I followed in his footsteps, making it all the way “ringside”, like another hype-man, you could have me mistaken for being just that on that night, read my closing comment re. the mosh-pit.

What a performance, I haven’t had that much fun since I saw Mojo Nixon ca. 1991.

Not much to say about the performance – SORRY GUYS YOU MISSED IT! Check the web-site and see for yourself that you should have turned off the TV and come to Stengade 30 on that night.

Thank you eT for dragging me out yesterday.

ps. People can’t dance, and regarding the pogo/mosh-pit…In the eternal words of Steven Seagal THIS I’m trained for, people are just a little too uncontrolled and anti-social these days, I think I thought them a less(i)on or two…

Jean Michel Billaut: Connaissez-vous Haladjian ?

Nabaztagandfriends Haladjian creator of NabaztagJean Michel Billaut: Connaissez-vous Haladjian ?

Non je ne connais pas Haladijan, but I’d like to. I’ll est le papa de Nabaztag, le Lapin Communicant.

Nabaztag is Minitel 2.0, and we’re talking Web 2.0 how 90ies – we’re left in the dust!

Paris is getting “Ozoné” – love that term, citywide open Wi-Fi.

When you use “Des Lapins Communicant” you don’t really need security! Brilliant.

This comment gives me the chills:

“le début de l’internet a été une aimable kermesse… Maintenant les choses sérieuses commencent” – (translation: “the beginning of the Internet has been a friendly festival…Now the serious stuff begins”.

Expressif – a new language?

I’ve decided to give up speaking Danish (or any language for that matter), in the future languages will be blended and shaped by the people present, languages will be created and destroyed ad-hoc, becoming obsolete as technology and culture changes, so I’m developing a new language Expressif.

The concept is that you pick the most expressive word, or term, from any given language, it could be a word that is more of a concept, and thus difficult to translate, but it could also be because it just sounds beautiful – I’m limited by my knowledge of so few languages of the world, so I need your help.

Here are some nominations:
Halas (Arabic)
Habibi (Arabic)
Dharma (Sanskrit)
Karma (Sanskrit)
Hygge (Danish)
Tölva (Icelandic)
Prylar (Swedish)
Gonzesses (French)
Ubuntu (Swahili)
Hakuna mata (Swahili)
Mec (French)
Cool (English)
Shalom (Hebrew)
Salaam (Arabic)
Hoja (Somaili)
Futhark (Norse)
Philia (Greek)
Ndiyo (Swahili)
Lumière (French)
Oiseaux (French)
Ozoné (French)
Allouette (French)
Lærke (Danish)
Fou (French)
Corazon (Spanish)
Slainte (Gaelic)
Anima (Arabic)
Truc (French)
Jihad (Arabic)
Al-Wadud (الودود) (Arabic)
Mal’ak (Hebrew)

But make your own, mix and match, change which words you’re using depending on the people you’re among, with geeks you will probably be speaking english, but I think that I’ll suggest words from other languages for computer terms, if they exist. I just love Tölva.
