Hans Rosling on stage!

I just saw Hans Rosling's presentation on TED 2007... the man is as brilliant as always but funnier than ever. Check this dude out, listen to the facts and what ever you do don't miss the finale...

A tube of Bergman

Ingmar Bergman died yesterday and journalists have been hunting down everyone who has ever worked with or fucked him. His relation to women is famous/notorious. It is amazing to hear all the women he worked with explaining what he did for them... - I am so grateful to have known him.... - He saw me and made me see myself... One actress confessed to greedy thoughts. - All the things I never asked him... etc. etc.

The Swiss-born psychiatrist Helen Kübler-Ross has designed a model to explain the human reaction to death in five stages...

1. Denial : The initial stage: "It can't be happening."
2. Anger : "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or anybody perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
3. Bargaining : "Just let me live to see my son graduate."
4. Depression : "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"
5. Acceptance : "It's going to be OK."

(from wikipedia)

I don't know if the Kübler-Ross model can explain anything about how a human collective reacts to death but I have feeling that the Swedish reaction to Bergmans death primarily is a greedy one... sort of similar to the human reaction to the death of a tube of toothpaste. - Oh no you don't! There is still some useful stuff in there...

Ika i rutan

Summary in English:
Today I was reminded about a really wierd Swedish Childrens show. This episode is about being bad.

Vaknade och slog på musik på Linus dator. På skärmen var ett Wikipediafönster om Ika i rutan. Uppenbarligen är det minst en person mer än jag som kommer ihåg Ika Nord och hennes tv-program.

Och det fanns länkar till klipp!




Skönt att veta att hon följt med in i Youtube-eran.

Sorry people, this thing is in Swedish... but click on the first link if you want super-disco-dancefloor-electro. Click the second one if you wanna practise your swedish.

okej, asså jag har suttit och skrivit om mitt avgångsprojekt dygnet runt i en vecka och har rockat Krazy fiesta som soundtrack of workoholism. Det sjuka är att dom håller! ...jag sitter här från morronen, hela dagen, hela nätterna. Skriver, lyssnar och när den spelar Watch your Step känner jag efter om jag är hungrig, behöver mer kaffe eller ska ta en nicco-paus. Gör det jag behöver och fortsätter. Fick tipset från da fashionmuslimettes ...stay hot.
