Merry Christmas

24 December 2006

This is how the nativity scene would have looked if Jesus had been born today in Port Glasgow rather than in Nazareth two millennia ago.

Merry Christmas to all readers of this blog!

Duck in Glasgow Originally uploaded by viralbus. Mystikken spreder sig… I sidste måned bloggede jeg om en badeand, jeg fik, og i dag så jeg dette billede af en and på bagsiden af et gadeskilt på strøget i Glasgow. Intet budskab, kun en and! Hvorfor?

A death that makes me happy

21 December 2006

Today it was announced that Türkmenba?y, Saparmyrat Ataýewiç Nyýazow, the dictator of Turkmenistan, had died. Although I don’t normally rejoice in the death of other people, I sincerely think this is a man that Turkmenistan and the world will do better without. Some of his more unusual actions according to Wikipedia included: ordering that physicians […]

Broken joke

19 December 2006

I’m just back from the Chrismas lunch in the canteen. In my cracker I found half a joke – the other half had mysteriously vanished. Here’s what I read: …at’s yellow and stays…in the fridge?…stard. What’s the joke? My first idea was the following: What’s yellow and staysfresh in the fridge?Custard. But somehow it doesn’t […]

Julestjerner

17 December 2006

Jeg begyndte i dag at lave julepynt med Marcel og Charlotte. I Storbritannien har de af uransagelige grunde næsten ingen traditioner for at lave juleting – de laver ingen julepynt, de bager ingen julesmåkager, de laver ingen julesylte – de køber bare alting færdigt (selv julemiddagen). Så min mor fløj over med glaspapir og papirstrimler […]

Fish

21 December 2006

The new EU fishing quotas made me wonder whether this problem is handled in entirely the wrong way. We’re restricting the days the fishermen can spend at sea and we’re telling them to throw away big parts of their catch. But wouldn’t it be an alternative to restrict the technology instead, ordering them to use […]

Børneblog

Marcel (min stedsøn) har nu også fået sig en blog! Den er ikke for sarte sjæle! 😉

The Danish police

18 December 2006

Google has a function that allows you to find web pages similar to a given one. For instance, here is their list of pages similar to this blog. Many of the links there are very relevant: Some are the pages of friends (Palle, Hotdog, MW, Mailund, Sebastian), and some are pages of organisations or resources […]

Kameraoversigt

16 December 2006

Flickr har nu endelig tilføjet en funktion, så man kan søge på kameraer og se statistik og populære billeder, og man kan finde billeder, man har taget med specifikke kameraer. Her er en liste over de digitale kameraer i mit liv: Kamera Beskrivelse Eksempel Sony ?100 Vores digitale spejlreflekskamera, som jeg købte for et par […]
