Ett trött inlÀgg

Det börjar ramla in mail frĂ„n diverse svenska medier i mailinkorgen. Det handlar om svar pĂ„ ansökningar om sommararbete och kort sagt: Ă€n sĂ„ lĂ€nge ser det ut att bli Telia denna sommar ocksĂ„… Jag Ă€r ganska trött för tillfĂ€llet. En första aning sĂ€ger att det har att göra med mycket stress över skolarbete. En … Continue reading

Posters – the other art form

Oscar Wilde on ce said: “The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it’s dead for you.” Whilst the art world bickers about what is more interesting, a painting or a sculpture, or which is the most valuable, a Rembrandt or Da Vinci, there is an art form generating the same excitement, … Continue reading

Blog: Back on the pill

Jag har enna jĂ€vla flussrelaterade problem just nu. Min fluss som inte Ă€r halsfluss förblir oklar och nĂ€rvarande. Förra veckans rĂ„d frĂ„n fröken doktor som löd att vila dög inte. Efter att ha legat nerpackad i en riktigt svettig sĂ€ng – alltsĂ„ vi pratar riktigt, riktigt svettigt, hade örngottet varit en grĂ„ t-shirt hade det … Continue reading

Blog: Google is your friend

SĂ„nt hĂ€r tycker jag Ă€r kul: Den hĂ€r nya hemsidan sköter jag via wordpress. Och pĂ„ wordpress Ă€r det lite mer high-tech Ă€n pĂ„ blogg.se. PĂ„ blogg.se kan man kolla hur mĂ„nga som gĂ„r in och kikar pĂ„ bloggen varje dag, bĂ„de unika besökare och antal sidvisningar. Det Ă€r trevligt, i alla fall de dagar … Continue reading

Iran threatens to boycott the Olympics – “It’s their loss”

In its pink, yellow and turquoise Lego looking figures, few logos have stirred up a fuss similar to the one of the London 2012 Olympics. While some claim that the logo, which was revealed in 2007, looks as if the designers were experimenting with magic mushrooms and swastikas, others see cartoon TV character Lisa Simpson … Continue reading

Blog: Powernap

Det var ju tydligen Earth Hour igĂ„r. Vad jag har förstĂ„tt ska man alltsĂ„ slĂ€cka lampan i en timme sĂ„ kommer jorden leva jĂ€ttelĂ€nge till. Jag finner det lite underligt att man mĂ„ste sĂ€tta ett fiffigt namn pĂ„ timmen och göra det hela till ett koncept. Det Ă€r ju trots allt bara en Powernap det … Continue reading

Blog: Åhoj

Jag var ute och gick för nĂ„gon dag sedan. Det var coolt. Men det Ă€r inte det jag tĂ€nkte berĂ€tta om. GĂ„tt har jag gjort mĂ„nga gĂ„nger, det hĂ€nder oftast varje dag nĂ€r jag ska nĂ„gonstans. Men den hĂ€r gĂ„ngen möttes jag av ett gĂ€ng hojĂ„kare – ett riktigt biker crew. De hade samma fĂ€rg … Continue reading

Review: Two Little Boys by Duncan Sarkies

You’re 12 years old. A couple of months ago you met a person who did something special for you. Perhaps he saved you from a mean old bully; perhaps he helped you out with a tricky maths assignment. You’ve made a special bond with this person – not love or anything stupid like that, just … Continue reading

Looking forward to London 2012

It’s been almost 14 years since the UK enjoyed their last major sports event – the Euro Cup 1996 – and today (2010-01-29) we’re two and a half years away from the next one – the 2012 Olympic Games in London. In 2005, on July 6, London’s bid was elected to host the 2012 Olympics, … Continue reading

The controversial case of the Commonwealth Institute

In the heart of busy, fashionable Kensington, West London, there’s a building that doesn’t quite fit in. Hidden behind a forest of flagpoles, a tent shaped shell separates the old Victorian houses from Holland Park. While being a bizarre contribution to the bundles of blocks, its parabolic roof shooting up in the sky sets a … Continue reading
