I’ve been watching some car video clips on the net tonight, and I have come to a conclusion. Windows Media Player fuckin stinks! I hope that this piece of crap works better under Windows, because this is embarrassing. Why do people have to code their videos in that format? It’s beyond me. Try Quicktime, Real, [...]

I’ve been out partying with my darling wife today. My old friend Mats came home to Sweden from the US, and we went out and drank a lot of beer and wine.

Finally someone dared to bring the third big theory of how everything was created. It’s of course the theory of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Sounds plausible to me. At least as much as creationism. Let’s hope they start to learn about it in school soon.

Ikea Germany made a couple of television commercials about the Swedish tradition on midsummer eve. The Swedish head office banned them from airing them. I think they’re spot on. That’s typically how my midsummers look like.

I’ve been photographing digital for about a year and a half, and now I really want to get my hands on a totally manual Hasselblad camera. I used to have a 500C, and it’s a wonderful camera. If I photograph BW I can develop the negatives myself and then use a scanner to scan it [...]

My friend Johan bought a car and had it shipped over from the US. It’s a 60’s (I’m guessing 64, but I’m not sure) Ford Galaxie 500 in super mint condition. He didn’t have to sell his soul to buy it, because it’s a four-door, and they’re cheaper. The interior is original and it looks [...]
