You know the sinking feeling. You have a long way home but your iPod battery is running down fast. You wish you could somehow transfer power to your iPod. Here is a guy who has solved this problem by connecting a dynamo to his bike and attaching it to his iPod charger – creating the first bike-driven iPod charger! This is exactly what every bike-freak needs!
Take a look at the new MacBook Pro – much faster with lots of extras… what more can you want…
Well this is the new look for my blog. The reason for the major change was that the old theme started doing strange things after I had updated. Isnt it wonderful how a change in one part of our comuter environment suddenly spawns a whole process of subsequent changes? Updating WordPress was quick and easy. Making it work the way I wanted to and look the way I wanted to was not.

Ny politisk parti på gång. Kolla på Piratpartiet.
Piratpartiet siktar på att ta en vågmästarroll efter valet 2006. Det finns mellan 800 000 och 1 100 000 aktiva fildelare i Sverige, och de är alla trötta på att kallas kriminella. Vi behöver ha 225 000 av dessa med oss för att komma förbi fyraprocentspärren och hamna i vågmästarroll. Den rollen tänker vi sedan använda till att avskaffa upphovsrätten. Med mera.
Partiet står för avskaffande av immaterialrätten (upphovsrätt, patent, varumärken och mönsterskydd) med bifogade effekter (som kassettersättning), och dessutom kraftigt stärkt integritetsskydd för individen (bl.a. att datalagringsdirektivet inte ska implementeras, en upphöjning av brevhemligheten till generell kommunikationshemlighet, och en grundlagsskyddad rätt till privatliv).
Det sak bli intressant att se hur det utvecklar sig.

A quote attributed to Homer’s Odyssey (but I have been unable to find it there) is:
The blade itself incites to violence
The quote is a good example of how technological determinism does not need to be taken from examples based in the modern world. A nice example of the same sentiment deals with the problem of intellectual property and modern technology. “The iPod has room for 10000 songs – what do they expect us to do with them?”
The Swedish library has put Ferdinand von Gudenus’ Panorama of Constantinople from 1740 online. Its an excellent view with zoom functions.

Did you know?
German researchers have discovered that coughing during an injection can lessen the pain of the needle stick. According to Taras Usichenko, author of a study on the phenomenon, the trick causes a sudden, temporary rise in pressure in the chest and spinal canal, inhibiting the pain-conducting structures of the spinal cord.
