The proof that: 1. English is not the default for good songs. 2. Swedish dialect is funky. Very. http://cdn.last.fm/videoplayer/33/VideoPlayer.swf

Wanna see many cool website, that win awards, all at one time? Here you go:

The German company Neolog have made this really cool wristwatch, called NEOLOG A-24 II. Rather than showing the time with numbers or a dial, the digital watch shows time as line.

NEOLOG is based on dividing time into intelligible units: Hours, units of ten minutes, and units of one minutes which are arranged in vertical blocks.

It takes a bit getting used to (at least for the first hour of having the watch..:) BUT it is so sexy… Christmas tip of the year I say! (too late for most countries, but if the gifts are given on the Holy 3 Kings Day there is still a chance!)

Check out the site (and order it) http://www.neolog.cc/english/ Ahh… and the site has some widget downloads too

Ok, so there is quite alot truth in the this video:

However, I really find the Zune Art site excellent! Its really a creative ad campaign that uses animation and indie tunes to promote the Zune. It ought to generate a buzz online. Loads of freebies: wallpaper, videos, even faltpack toys!Check it out:

At last, Futurama is getting a fifth season. Read all about it at

Theres a new website called Potential Architecture. It shows a wide selection of projects that of some reason nevere were realised. Quite interesting site I find.

Heres one project that unfortunately wasnt done: www.potentialarchitecture.com

The project in Røros, was done by Huus og Heim (who happens to be a friend of mine!

…and really loads of fun!

Went to see Martin Slaatto´s new show/installation/act at Maridalen Skytebane in Oslo. It was one 1h of strange experience. A man dressed in a red track suite, jumping around, climbing trees, flying a remote controlled helicoptre and suddenly reciting Hamlet. Everything without irony, but not without humour! 1hour fun with free coffee and rolls for 100kr. Well recommended!

Check out his website: http://www.slaattosloyfa.no

Here is a review of the show: Slaattos lek på alvor (its in Norwegian)

This is a screenshot of a.beining.com version 2. It lasted me 902 days. And around 2000 visits, of which 50% came from Norway, 13% Spain, 7% China (Beining is a city in China apparently), USA, UK ++

Most use XP (53%) and IE 6 (34%). BUT being a portfolio site, loads of Macers have come around too! 37% use osX and 34% Safari. Not bad..

Well, after so long time without any updates (last one was the 1. of June 2006..), I was getting embaressed, SO without any further ado: TATAA! http://a.beining.com all new!
