Lifestream(Miami, around xmas eve) Stage 2: Aconcagua. Erden Eruç of Around-n-Over has completed his almost 4000 mile bike trip from Seattle to Miami on his way to the second summit of Aconcagua. Nice work Erden, I hope the rest of the leg goes as smoothly. It’s a shame with the hurricane season though. Well, the [...]

Stingy or not, here it goes. After the natural disaster in SE Asia, the charity race has been on. And just as much as people seem to want to help, they also have another agenda. It can be either getting a foot in the door, to present a fine print with the ‘gifts’ (a trojan [...]
What is the logic behind the recent Google Bashing? Google used to be, and still is in reality, a pretty nice company that does generally nice things and have had a part in advancing the internet considerably. Until they grew too big. Just like once happened to Microsoft.
One can’t help but wonder who is behind [...]

More than 15,000 American flags need to be replaced in public-school classrooms in central Florida by the end of the school year because they are smaller than required under a new state law.

Most notably how bloggers tended to pat themselves and each other on the back and celebrate the success over mainstream media and the elites. And how they fell into the same bottomless journalistic pit as [...]
Apparently God now hates not only Canada and the US but also Sweden.
I am quite sure that the people behind those sites are indeed sincere. I’ve come into contact with them before, years ago, and found them as delightfully militant and outrageous as the present day. I obviously have no love for religion as such [...]
Swedish media reports that the anonymous ‘hacker’, tied to the DoD (Drink or Die), caught during operation Buccaneer, was found not guilty of copyright violation (Swedish text).
This constitutes a major event since the people of the american branch of DoD were swiftly found guilty and sentenced to several years in federal prison as well as [...]
Can’t say I’m surprised to see this happening. Seems to be a big thing now.
One could argue that either way you look at it you’re living a fantasy. Antimagnet has it figured out. It’s a shallow way of feeling part of something greater. As shallow as sci-fi conventions or sending toys to Iraq. A ‘embarrassing [...]
