boost your g-spot - Plastic Surgery.

lørdag, juni 30th, 2007

Of cause the body can be improved upon. Over at Darran Barefoot I found this great post.
With a 3 1/2-inch needle, Salerno would pump a small dose of collagen into his patient’s Grafenberg Spot and make it swell to the size of a quarter…
[the patient reported that after the operation], she could reach climax […]

Watch this flash video. It’s a fun and informed dystopian idea of the future as It might evolve.

Goverment to fund ‘accurate’ wikipedia content

onsdag, juni 27th, 2007

Arstechnica has an interesting post about how a german government agency called FNR (german languae link) is planning to fund wikified German-language information about specialized renewable resource topics.

The FNR won’t be getting any special treatment, though, in the sense that their articles will still be available for editing by anyone on the Internet. This […]

Government (tax) subsidized culture (i.e. theatres) is economical benificial

onsdag, juni 27th, 2007

A new report from Copenhagen Bussiness School’s CFT, Have PR and The Danish actors guild (Dansk Skuespillerforbund) concludes that for each government funded dollar that is used to support theatres in Copenhagen, the society gets a net benifit of 3,3 dollars.
The report (in danish - pdf) can be downloaded here (0,5MB).
I think (sic! - greenwich […]

Which CMS? Maybe typolight?

onsdag, juni 27th, 2007

I’ll properly start a small pro bono consulting ‘firm’ soon (contact me if interested; I need a php/mysql programmer and maybe a SNA/ONA expert). The webpage as I envision it will be very simple - In fact so much so, that simpleCMS is likely to be sufficient.
However… I like the tunes of bells and whistles […]

hoho - spam en masse

tirsdag, juni 26th, 2007

Just revisited my old and long gone blog from 2004 (www.efterdeadline.abatonet.dk):There was no akismet spam filter, but more then 48.000 socalled ‘comments’ instead… I will delete the whole thing… Goodbye efter deadline blog.
However - I can’t bear to delete my first webpage from 2000 - Juliusstrasse
Man things have changed

TED talk: Images as social data; 3d reconstruction of the world - potentially from flickr images

tirsdag, juni 26th, 2007

This TED talk video presentation (07:40 minutes) by a guy I didn’t know is really jaw dropping. And a demo version of the software (photosynth) is already online here.
From the guy’s (aka Blaise Aguera y Arcas) profile page on TED:
Photosynth itself is a vastly powerful piece of software capable of taking a wide variety of […]

e61i captured the below poster this morgning. (taken @ Forum, CPH, DK)

BTW: Behind me was a beginning line-up to this evenings Pearl Jam concert. The crowd was a mixed one - from the old grunge days and fwd. Most people expects a remamberable concert, due to the 2000 accident a Roskilde (se this post at […]

flyprice.dk = godt sted at handle

mandag, juni 25th, 2007

Via momondo, farecast og sidestep (rejse-søgemaskiner tidligere omtalt her) fandt jeg forskellige steder den samme billige flybillet. Det var tilfældigt at jeg valgte at købe min billet via flyprice.dk; Imidlertid opstod der et lille problem ved bestillingen. Muligvis min fejl (manglende tålmodighed kombineret med firefox noscript)… Heldigvis har flyprice.dk en åben tlf. support og “Maria” […]

Anders Lund Madsen og Rudy Frederiksen

mandag, juni 25th, 2007

Anders Lund Madsen har nu taget skridtet fuldt ud; manden er danmarks vel eneste nogenlunde anstændige samtidskommentator. Det gik op for mig da jeg læste Free Rudy (jyllands posten).
Rudy Frederiksen var liderlig. Rudy ville rigtig gerne i seng med en hel bunke kvinder, og straffen for det er tab af alt.[…]
I virkeligheden havde han ikke […]

Their philosophy is:

Farming; as we did it 500 years ago… The natural way

lørdag, juni 23rd, 2007

Birger showed me this painting by Bruegel (wikipedia link). Painted in 1565 it shows us what natural farming is all about, and all the funny ideas and constructs we employ about “the good old days” (which revealing enough was long before the proponent was born)… (I just tried googleing for examples of “nostalgia argument” […]

Vanity Fair july 2007 guest editor: Bono

Since the beginning at mount temple I’ve been an admirer of Mr. Paul Hewson aka Bonovox aka Bono, Lead singer of Feedback, The hype, U2 (Irish (religiously inspired, folk-fired and punk-pricked) rock band. I have however watched his climb to the top of the feel-good agenda with mixed feelings. One the one hand, a good […]

Enron SNA video by abeuser on youtube

fredag, juni 22nd, 2007

Some time ago I may have been blogging about a great dataset becoming available to the public (enron emails)? Anyway - There is now this video out on youtube…. I like, i like… (the recipe involves python and nerdiness… But fear not - commercial software will save us all in the end? Maybe?)

SNA predicts psychometrics

fredag, juni 22nd, 2007

This is so cool, frightning, awesome, inspirring - yet simple and beutifull: Equip people with infra-red transmitting badges. Log the transimissions (ingoing and outgoing IR signals) and calculate a ‘contribution index’. Then compare this with psychometrics: The researches found that the data strongly correlated with neuroticism and correlation (0.74 and 0.52 respectively).

Imity - now I believe

torsdag, juni 21st, 2007

Some time ago I signed up @ Imity.com. I told my friends about it - but never actually downloaded the app to my phone. The peoplespotting and concert analysis have me convinced all over again. (thx classy)
Update: I had problems installing imity on my new phone (nokia e61). First I tried the e70 version but […]

Review of aid agencies

torsdag, juni 21st, 2007

For the last few minutes I’ve been trying to find some comparative evaluation / review of aid agencies… So far in vain. Off cause such a review is not an easy task to embark on: The agencies tasks differ, the goals are not always clear, and when they are, the effect is hard to […]

Social Finance

onsdag, juni 13th, 2007

This sounds very appealing to me. I never thought about social finance… Pertaining to the culture element raised in the article I guess two key factors are working: a) the propensity to invest (high in US) and the amount of generalized trust (social capital) (high in Denmark).
For me the idea is also pleasing in the […]
