Now on Facebook

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

There are soooo many of those community type of websites and I do feel sooo behind… I was pretty fast on Linkedin, did never try myspace, but now I’m at least on Facebook - got to see what that Facebook and all the money is about. And Facebook is rather interesting. You can do a lot more on Facebook that on Linkedin (which seems nearly too closed), but I can also get a bit ‘afraid’ that Facebook will be too time consuming or it could be.. Great with the posibilities to create (not that I do it personaly) and use third parties apps, but also too time consuming - I dont want to ‘vampire bite’ friends or join too many groups, but a quick movie test is fun sometimes… but not an never ending game…
And I’m really ‘afraid’ that Facebook will turn into another advertsing space like myspace (which is filled with bands and record advertising)…. then you will the users flea to the next community sort of thing…

Generation ‘we want’

Friday, October 26th, 2007

The election for the Danish parlament (folketinget) is due 13. November, so every party and its youth groups are very active ’spaying’ the wall ect. with their posters and making a lot of happenings - all of it being very interesting..  you really see what these parties thinks interest the votes and you also see what on their internal agenda.
Yesterday there was a small happening by the youth group of SF (the socialist people party - eventhough they have this ‘people party’ thing they are not real communist and they dont belive in revolution and dictatorship…) and it was really interesting to see what was on THEIR mind…  and for me it looks like it was mostly the ‘we want’ thing…  being students they of course wanted 1000 kr. more in SU (state support for students), so EUR 650 per month is not enough - they want EUR 130 extra…
And free dentists for all (at least something for all) - and the free trains and busses for the people studying, too…
And more doctors and more nurses and and and…
Are we looking at a new generation here?? Generation WE WANT?

Crime pays in Denmark!

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007
Yeah, it seems like its gonna be the terrible truth in Denmark after the riots this year - the ignorat (and big spending) socialist mayor of Copenhagen Ritt Bjerregaard has decided to reward the rioting left wing criminals with another house for FREE - a reward payed for several times of rioting and violence keeping the locals at home, setting fire to cars, fighting with the Danish police (which the criminals claim provoked and were agressive), getting more that a 1000 in jail and sending bills for more than 9.000.000 USD to the nice citizens of Denmark.
Ritt Bjerregaard I’m willing to forget your spendings in Paris ect. if you show these criminals that crime doesnt pay, please…  and if no, I can only hope that the criminals doesnt make another riot to get a bigger house or better equipment in it….  because it seems like you’re promoting a very bad learning curve…

What’s ‘Skambutis’?

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

Seing this advertisement I learned a new Lithuanian word… not really sure what to use it for or what it means, but I do think it sound a bit funny and it gives some wierd associations…
what_is_skambutis.jpg
Is it something like ’shame’ = skam (at least in Danish..) - so Skambutis will be ‘Shame on you’? probably because the girls talks to much in her mobile… Skambutis to her! ;-)

(ouch, sure I wont be welcome by my Lithuanian friends anymore…)

The secret weapon of the Lithuanian men

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Walking around in the beautilful old town of Vilnius I suddenly find the secret weapon of the Lithuanian men - the weapon that for ages and still in Lithuania keeps the women at home in the kitchen (and the bad foreignes away)….
Secret weapon of lithuanian men
(or maybe it helps the women keep the men from the Absinth…  I will research a bit next time I’m in Vilnius….)

Time for some diveblogging

Friday, October 19th, 2007

It has been a while since I returned from my August dive vacation in Thailand and to be honest….  I have been a lazy boy not uploading just one picture of the sharks, moray eels and fishes.. BUT now it happened…  on diveblogging.com I’ve just uploaded a couple of sharks…  was a really cool experience ‘meeting’ them at Chumphon pinnacles.

Build-A-Bear amazes me!

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

I must admit that I’m a Build-A-Bear fan! Not a fan in the sense that I have a huge collection of the bears and cant walk past a Build-A-Bear shop (in fact I dont have single Build-A-Bear- surprised?), but a huge fan of the concept! The way they enclosed storytelling in the concept and made the trip to the Build-A-Bear shop an adventure - an adventure not only to build the bear, but to give it life and involve the children in the process… its great.
And you certainly know its great when you see the happy faces of the kids… and I do sometimes visit the shop just to see the joy there…
But sometimes you dont have to visit the shops - just look around when the proud small new owners are walking home their new Build-A-Bear.
This proud Build-A-Bear girl I saw on Nørrebronx.. and it was no problem at all to get the picture of the proud new owner…..

At least 8 people drowned in a cave in Thailand

Sunday, October 14th, 2007
….. and Benjamin and I was there in December 2002!
It was such a shock to read today that at least 8 people drowned in the Nam Talu cave in the beautiful Khao Sok National Park in Thailand. I remember that Benjamin and I have been talking quite often about that Nam Talu cave trek, and we usually mention it as close to the most wild/risky thing we have ever done - we were guided to the Nam Talu cave by a Thai kid not older than 18 years old and the driver of the boat and both didnt speak that good English. On our 2 hours walk we also discovered that we only had one good torch and one small one, so 2 torches for 4 guys… and the guide told us that the cave trek would be aound 1 hour, but if it started raining the Nam Talu cave would be filled within 20 minutes… HMMM - and it DID rain from the morning…. anyway the guide did look up into the sky and decided that it was safe to enter and the we stumbled into the dark…
The cave was very interesting - we saw big spiders, lots of bats hanging from the roof, huge beautiful limestones and small waterfalls - and at one point the guide took my small backpack and crawled on the walls while the 3 of us swam down a small waterfall and out to a plateau…. in fact very nice in the heavy heat…
We came out again and took the 2 hours walk back to the station and then the 2 hours boat trip… and we both agreed that the Nam Talu cave in Khao Sok National Park was really a great but also very risky trek - now I can really feel it after the bad news and I do feel sorry for those poor people…  so sad! The safety just isnt good enough!
Btw I called Benjamin an hour ago and asked him to tell me which thing he remember as one of the most risky we did…  and yes, he mentioned exactly the Nam Talu cave trek in Khao Sok National Park…
