Samirs wonderful new blog! It will be turolicious!

And from WFMU´s Beware The Blog:

That is so totally my feeling now!





Congratulations to Amreica and to the World! We will now have a good guy in office in the most powerful nation on earth! An intelligent, wise and genuine man, truly passionate about his cause! Although he will not be able do all the things we would hope he could do. Just having such a guy in such a position sends signals to all over the world, his speeches are brilliantly crafted, and he inspires a lot of people!
It will give goodness, activism and genuinity/honesty a trustworthy powerful face! The good guys can prevail, not the angels, but the good guys! And it can be very beautiful. McCain was actually a nice guy too, but simply too old, incompetent and ungenuine to his cause and he knew the race turned out as it should, I think he respected Obama more as a president than himself!
If you haven´t seen the speeches, check out Obama and McCain from the grand finale of the campaign!
I started making pictures with the bakground colour of that day. Not very convincing yet. But a happpy start.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday:



Some instances of fresh modern youtube art, both examples of certain modern phenomena and techniques! Will be going through my YouTube favorites some day and post the best here. But I might as well start the instant sharing fun now! These are available in better quality on the YouTube site as well.
Unboxing Beautiful Technology, a cute modern virginity ritual
For those who dosen´t know, there are lot´s of people who love getting new technology and post quite little videos when they open the boxes. Here is one worth seeing.
It´s a good example of what happens when technology improves and becomes cheaper, making every home a high tech media studio. I love it! It really empowers people!
The Rube Goldberg Machine Videos
There are lots of wonderful Rube Goldberg machines. I have seen a handful great ones, some of which I may share one day. And if you want you can spend hours and days in exploring this niche, I haven´t but some day I will! People who make these must be really patient! But I like the concept, simple, but a beautiful clean expression of causality, randomness, surprise and creativity for it´s own sake!
My wonderful girlfriend Ina has since this summer regularly been sharing some nice pictures we have taken, and in the end she bought her own first digital camera. So if you want to see funny pictures of me and my surroundings check out her picasa web album.
The newest additions are from the last couple of weeks from Skövde and Göteborg:
Skövde
Göteborg
These ones where done outside of the museum of world culture in Göteborg. And we did them whiteout me knowing what the pictures where so they did turn out a bit cruel, although quite funny…
I will probably start sharing pictures again someday
sorry to have you waiting.
And sinceI have lowered the threshold for this blog and made it more personal. I might add that I, although blogging late at night, feel great, my health and well-being has improved a lot. I feel that I am starting to really follow the path to the person I want to be, to my better self! And I try not to take myself so seriously anymore…
Happy Thursday!Ã
Kosmologen och astrofysikern Max Tegmark, med sin underbara metateori om universum som för mig är den första som kan ge svar om varför det som finns finns har gjort ett osannolikt vackert litet självbiografiskt radioprogram om fysik, universum, framtiden samt sina egna teorier, lyssna på det! Det är underbart och för hela familjen, totalt utan terminologi, men ändå rikt på innehåll. Det kommer att ge dig mycket fascinerande saker att fundera på samt ett brett och djupt leende!
Det är svårt att i ord beskriva vilken insikt Tegmarks teori inneburit för mig, en av de stora livsomvälvande insikterna tillsammans med evolutionspsykologi och världsbild, och jag skall med glädje skriva mer om honom i fortsättningen.
Jag är mycket trött, men känner att jag måste få denna blog att rulla och även om jag i denna stund inte kan skriva så utförligt om Tegmark som jag skulle vilja så är innehållet, dvs. länken till radioprogrammet en ypperlig startpunkt av högsta kvalitet och utrycker precis den attityd till tillvaron jag önskar odla på denna blog, dock på engelska och med mera omsorg.
Hello again, still no blogging, have had some very hard times… Blogging is a real issue for me because there are so many kinds of blogs I would like to make, so much I would like to write, post and link to, but I also hate blogs which have just a lot of noise, and no signal, or even worse, too much good signal… But I may start doing this in a more chaotic way anyway, just have to cut some of the ambitions…
But a new mix I have done, a very personal one. No tracklist, so you have to contact me preferably in the comments if you want to know some particular track. This is the most complex mix yet, with 5 tracks and maybe a 100 songs and lots of overlaying and panning. I have been inspired a lot by the work of my all time favorite dj Vicki Bennett / People Like Us who runs my all time favorite radioshow/podcast Do or DIY and the very eccentric and lovely sounding Ergo Phizmiz also with his own very short and beautiful show Phuj Phactory both on the New York based freeform radio WFMU. I really want to thank Vicki and Ergo! Especially inspiring and wonderful lately has been the collaboration between the two in Codpaste, where they layer sounds together over the Internet and share thoughts about the process and the love of sound and music. Codpaste is a very unique and warm show wich I highly recommend to listen to while making food, I always make the most delicious food while listening to it!
This is what the new mix looks like in Ableton Live. Christmas songs, acid, dubstep, breakcore, pop music, ambient, rock, avant-retard, singing computers and everything else struggle for attention in this delirious mix.
This is what it feels like.
So, download, listen and enjoy!
