The Office, American style (!)

I was just channel surfing and ended up on NBC and found an American remake of the totally rad BBC original.

I didn’t like it much and neither did this guy; in fact, to get this out of my system, I had to put one of my BBC Office DVD’s on

DOOM3

Had Friday off, so I picked up a copy of DOOM3. On Sunday evening I completed it after about 25 hours of playing (with almost no cheating). DOOM3 rocks. That is all.

In other news I wondered this morning what the proper Danish translation of “Denial of Service” is. krh proposed the word Betjeningsstop which sounds a bit too funny to me - I’m sure my good old collegue Martin Koch knows what it is (email me, Martin!).

Build System 1 - davidz 0

Today most of my time was spent fighting the Build System and right now it looks like I’m loosing.

Hot New Stuff

Got it delivered today from Design Within Reach - they got lots of great stuff

Next time I’ll carefully read the details when it says some assembly required - my hands are all worn out (from the assembly, that is :-8).

More Banana Republic coverage

Here is a less sober take on the recent democratic developments in Europe.

However. I’m not happy about this development at all. People should care more about freedom and the fundamental values of our society instead of just caring about themselves and the next reality show on the telly (that’s one for you Joey Punchclock!). Because, before they know it, they’ll have to pay a tax to some big corporation in the northwestern part of the United States to even watch TV.

Just like they do today to be able to exchange documents with the rest of the world.

Someone please explain how this is freedom.

Banana Republic

We Europeans should be ashamed of ourselves.



Sod it.

Earthquake

I could actually feel the Quebec earthquake last night down here in Massachusetts. It was about 1.30am and like someone was knocking on the closet door and the train was driving by. I couldn’t hear any train noise and there was nothing in my closet except for a suitcase leaning against the door. Scary. When I checked the news today it all started to make sense.
