Here's a project you might be interested in. Y'all know about the internet censorship of the Chinese government. Two swiss artists developed a way to break the great censorship wall of China. They convert ordinary html-pages into a picture which is accessed and coded back.

Check it out and join. It's easier than uncomplicated.

Time has come for decisions to be made. Some things shifted to the dark side and others to the bright side.

Below is a picture which enlarges when clicked on it.

I want you all - whoever is watching this site - to vote for your favorite tattoo and tell me about it.
Just comment on your choice below the article in the comment section.
Only one vote per person should count, maybe.

The one tattoo with the most voices will cover the most wonderful part of my body soon. Nope, it's not what you think. But it is wonderful, too, you're right ;)

Which part it is? I'll tell ya, when election is finished. I'm not gonna change the part of my body according to the tattoo. They're all made for this specific area. What I can tell you is the size of it: approx. 40 x 30 cm...
You can make suggestions on that anyway!

Have fun, and vote as hell!

As some of you may know I'm very into landscapes. Especially the norwegian one. Though James says, it looked like Oregon, I keep on doubting that since neither I've never been to Oregon nor James has made it up here ;).

However, last night, which in this special case means, the evening and the upfollowing morning, I took tho beautiful pics which made me stay a while kinda paralyzed.

Unfortunately I can only show you the pics. The atmosphere and this intense feeling is for sure hard to transport. Digital media need to be improved.

Enjoy a look at the rising moon, slightly colored between maroon and ginger:




Some hours later, the sun followed (and will blow your mind if you click on the pic):


Can you imagine why I'm watching every third sunrise live?

It's fall coming up. Within the last 7 days the entire landscape changed drastically and unexpectedly fast.
I'm looking out of my window and suddenly there is so much orange and yellow covering my view to the lake Mjøsa.
(btw. I really wanna have an 'ø' on my notebook keyboard. I always have to activate NumLock, then take the character code 'ALT'+ '0248' to insert an 'ø'. Try it for yourself, that sucks).

Recently, when I was out for jogging a leaf was blown in my face..
Now it's dehumidified and hanging around in my room.
Somehow useless, but beautiful.
I love the fall. Maybe coz you can really watch nature changing.

Provided that you're living where nature doesn't only consist of concrete.

Folks, I love that season. You should enjoy it, too.

p.s.: Outside thermometer went down to -1,5° celsius (~29° F) last night. It's getting romantic, isn't it?

...is that?

Recently on one of my nightly trips (preparing my undergrad thesis) thru the infinity of the digital highway ended here:


Now have a look at the number of views on Itube: 8,000,000+.
Leave her alone, hum? Alrighteee then.



And here's a mere counterpart:



Weird but funny, these stupid idiots.

A casual Sat eve, preparing to go out. Suddenly my door bell rang.
But not only mine. And not only once.
I first suspected some kids or whoever having fun ringing my doorbell of the wall.

As I went out to check what was going, I noticed that EVERY f***in doorbell in every single of the 20 rooms on my floor AND on all the other six floors was ringing.
I never would have thought of a fire alarm.
It wasn't 'feeling' like one. And not sounding like one at all.
However, I just grabbed some stuff, after putting on all my clothes, and went down to floor one. Where all other students were already waiting, but no firefighters.
Hm.
It looked like some took the alarm pretty serious since they didn't put on any clothes except for their underwear and maybe a pyjama. Alas, not the ones I'd loved to see.

Some fifteen minutes later the firefighters arrived. The doorbells kept on ringing, driving me deaf and numb.
They didn't know wha to do!
Obviously there wasn't fire going on anywhere.

As you can see on the pic below, three of them (there were only three at all. Isn't that a bit ridiculous considering a burning student house with app.110 students, visitors and friends excluded?) tried to get the main alarm control working.



And notice that guy right of them, checking his mail and not caring bout anything, as it seems.

After some more twenty minutes they finally got it shut down. What a relieving feeling.
From that day I don't trust in these firefighters anymore.

And: Some days later a company started installing NEW fire alarms in every room. Kept me from getting up after 8am. Though I didn't stop staying awake til 6 for known reasons...

dudes, it's complicated.
Coz' of unexpected incidents I regret not being able to launch the almost finished and long expected update.
though there are plenty amazing stories told in a most fancily way, I can't finish the update within the next two days.

Beyond that, I had to spend the entire last five nights (!) on fb messaging and exploring another horizon.
Which hopefully will be worth it. I believe.
Hoping you will continue to favor me and recommend you to stay tuned.
