Eric & Danielle wins the race!


The race is over! I was sure that Charla & Mirna had it down, but in the end they couldn't compete with Eric & Dan's physique. Good try, though. They kept racing until the last second.

Ever feel like this?


Low and behold, it's the human ostrich!

Cherry/Apple blossom



It doesn't matter where you go these days, the weather is perfect, about 25° and the trees are all in blossom. It's so chill out.



Lay down in the gardens with this song in your MP3 player, looking up into the blossom will almost guaranteed make you.... zzzZZZzzz.....

Push it, mommy dearest


I just love this shot of a mother pushing her sick son in the hospital hallways to distract him from the pain of his terminal cancer. Really uplifting, spite the tragedy of kids with illnesses. My own mother can tell you some gruesome stories from her time interning at the childrens cancer ward at the hospital. It's just heartbreaking. That's why a picture like this just lifts your spirit instantly. All rights to this amazing photograph belong to Renée C. Byer. Derek, the boy in the picture died May 10, 2006. He was 10.

DS: Depression Suspension


So what do you do when you feel abandoned and depressed? That's right, you go out and spend some money! So now I'm the proud owner of this little piece of high-tech love, and I feel all fuzzy and warm inside ;-)

Natalie Imbruglia: I Shiver



This is a really good song and a well-crafted video. And I too shiver, so I know what the fuck I'm talking about.

Trashing about Copenhagen


I just had one of those days. Saying goodbye to someone you love is hard, so I just sort of walked the streets of the capital all day long.


Went to the most clichéd places to keep from thinking about the whole ordeal. I just don't wanna deal with it right now.

Helsinki - JFK


So she actually left. She got on a plane to Helsinki and right now she is flying 30,000 feet over the atlantic ocean.


And before she did that, she moved all her things into boxes and into a storage facility. She's gone.

21,915 days of marriage


Today my paternal grandparents have been married for 60 years. That's like friggin amazing. It's about 3 times as long as I have been on this planet. They've been married through Perestrojka, The Cuba crisis, JFK's assaination, the invention of the microchip and Ulla Therkelsen working in television. A true achievement.

Elli Z: J'aime la vie


What a wonderful tool youtube is! I just found this old video of my dear dear friend Elli Z. performing her hit song from 1986, J'aime la vie. This is from back in the days when she was still known by her stage name, Sandra Kim. It's too bad Elli Z. is not in showbiz anymore, she was damn good.

A farewell birthday thingy



A farewell party is never fun, that's why we made this a see you soon-party. We also faced up to the facts: People like to see women eating ice lollipops. So this one is for the fans ;-)

Dead, but still very much alive!


So guess who's back on Lost again? Yup you got it, it's fan favorite Boone! Guess the writers of Lost now realise their mistake in killing him off the show. Anyway, he is back and schticking this season! Can't wait to see where the writers take this monstrosity of a show...

Eu não falo o português!


Você pensa realmente que você está ouvindo o espanhol, mas você não é... Eu quero ainda desejar Christopher Columbo e sua menina um o feriado grande!

Farb Rausch: Debris


You need to see the new demo from these guys. It's as simple as that. The people behind Germany's Colour Rush are kick-ass extraordinare. Should you have an adequate computer, download the 188 kilobyte file that contains the video, resolution independent. I have in all of my 18 years in computing NEVER seen anything like this. Mind bending.

It's Auntie Time

So my auntie celebrated her birthday! Yay!


It was a great night, starting with my uncle performing the traditional measuring of the table in her honour.


Then we had spareribs....


All good things were there, from sleepyheads...


To bearded teenagers...


To giggles...


...and karaoke, of course!

The good vs. The Plenty



Easter lunch at my maternal grandparents house. As always, Grammy put up a feast for eyes and teeth. You really can't beat the feeling of stuffing your face with fatty foods in the name of Jesus Christ.

Yes! Yes! YES!



I am totally speechless! Found this on youtube, and I remember it like it was yesterday! We used to watch this show on TV3 every day after school, and we thought it was soooooooo cool!

SWUP special: Odessey of Ice


Good Twin is hardcore proof that we are a nation of vikings!




...or that he has no sense of temperature in his body. Whatever is, he likes to swim in the ocean when the beach is covered in snow.


To each his own pleasures, I guess. These pictures were shot in January, temperature about -10°.

Nokia 6300, but not really


I've been waiting for so damn long for this model to drop, and when it finally does I'm a little like.....bleeeh. It ain't half as cool as I thought it would be. It suffers under the terrible software the finns torture us with. A 2 Mpix camera without autofocus just doesn't cut it. Don't get me wrong it still may be right for some, but I'm sticking with my k750 for now.
