Brief update
2012-05-16 20:54:00
In case you wonder why there are so few blog posts these days it has to do with the fact that I have only 1,5 month left of work before my vacation. I have to finish a multitude of articles (nine or ten I think it is!) and work on two books. So my work ...
Besviken på Mikael Persbrandt
2012-05-10 18:46:00
Har ni sett Hamilton - I nationens intresse? Om inte: Gör inte det! T o m Persbrandt var dålig i den. Värst var dock hon som log som ett jävla fån hela tiden (när hon skulle vara seriös?). Vad fan?! Jag var ändå beredd på att den skulle vara dålig eftersom Danne och Izza beskrev den som "svensk" och "spion", men den var sämre än så. Jag sa nej direkt, men ändrade mig när dom sa att Mikael Persbrandt var med. Det borde jag inte ha gjort. Visst hände det grejer, men nej... Sjukt dålig och meningslös!Om ni har sett filmen, vad tyckte ni? Don't see this movie. It's crap! I like Mikael Persbrandt but even he failed in this movie. Danne and Izza described it as "swedish" and "spy" so I knew it would be bad, but it was actually worse than that.

I got three books for Christmas. ? Stephen King Under the Dome ? David Lagercrantz, Zlatan Ibrahimovic I am Zlatan ? Rik Mayall Bigger than Hitler, Better than Christ  THREE!!! That’s two more than I wanted. I guess people give me books because they think I’m an intellectual because I have glasses. But being an “intellectual” is also synonymous for “being ...
UPS, Amazon.com and the industrial world problem of the day
2011-12-27 19:27:00
I am annoyed so I am writing a blog post that is off my normal topics. I know it is one of those “industrial world problems of the day” (dagens i-landsproblem in Swedish) but it still makes me pissed. Last week I ordered books from Amazon.com. My order of nine books was split up into two ...
The Chumscrubber
2011-12-15 22:02:00
We watched The Chumscrubber the other day. I had never heard of it before, so I had no idea what I was getting into. Basically the movie talks about all those things people never want to acknowledge. Those things that are uncomfortable to think of and are probably better off hidden under a rug, because ...
Pirates of Silicon Valley
2011-12-15 12:33:00
I?m currently doing research for a small project I have to do in my English C course. The subject was up to me but the project is about comparing something over three decades. I could for example write about how Swedish literature has changed, or music or whatever really. It was supposed to be connected ...
Lunch by the beach
2011-12-12 19:21:00
How do you spend your Monday afternoon?And yes I should stop smoking completely but tell me something that is more reposeful and enjoyable than burying your feet in the sand on a beautiful beach, having a good book in your lap, a bottle of red stripe in one hand and a cigarette in the other. The simple pleasures of life that I allow myself to devour at times... Have you ever read anything by Michel Houellebecq by the way? I'm in love with his daring, uncensored way of storytelling. This is a great book.

Finally, Levi Bryant?s book The Democracy of Objects is available on Amazon.

Let?s talk about bad parenting.
2011-11-16 11:01:00
Last Saturday I read the book Picture Perfect by Jodie Picoult. Now the main story wasn?t actually about bad parenting but was a result of it, in a way. And I have friends who I talk to a lot about this, and it?s a subject I generally don?t like to touch because parenting is individual ...

Människor som tror

Under Utmanad (Baptistsamfundets, Svenska Missionskyrkans och Metodistkyrkans gemensamma årskonferens i maj) träffade jag Marcus Hällzon-Polack, publisher på Marcus Förlag. Trevligt att träffa honom, det var ett tag sen sist. I alla fall, till min stora glädje fick jag en bok av honom – Människor som tror av Alexander Hagerius. Hagerius har rest genom Sverige och ...
The Internet?s Library
2011-10-24 17:23:00
Activism – Travis McCrea: When you suffer writers block, I find the best solution is to rip off someone else’ work (and take someone’s work who is promoting a product that you own), this is an article written by aeliusblythe (a commenter here) about The Ultimate Ebook Library (TUEBL). Just a quick side note, I wanted to write something about TUEBL myself, but aeliusblythe is much more intelligent than I am. Plus, I am doing planning for #OCCUPYVANCOUVER. Also the site may be down or shaky today, because we just came off a long down-time due a shaky server move… so everyone will be downloading their books. :) Be patient. TUEBL, or The Ultimate E-Book Library, is the place for books. DRM-free books. Users can downloadbooks that they want to be able to read freely on their choice of devices. And true to the symbiotic nature of user-driven sites, they can also upload their own DRM-free files for others to use. So far, it is home to over 6000 titles, but if ...
Sorry Steve Jobs, but I still read books made from paper
2011-10-24 14:01:00
After finishing Tina Fey?s Bossypants and Sara Silverman?s Bedwetter, my life feel as empty as Ghadaffi?s drainage pipe. How can I fill that void without turning to the bottle? I?m already facing it. Therefore (a word I read in a book) I ordered more books written by female comedians and Steve Martin. Gasping for Airtime: ...
The greatest inspiration
2011-10-23 18:38:00
On our Twitter the other day, I was marveling at the fact that we've been out sailing for almost one full year now and I have had time to read only five of the 80 books we have here onboard. To be completely honest with you now, neither Alex or me still feel that we have started this tour completely as yet, for many reasons, primarily because we have had our hands full with all kinds of other projects, job, writing, dealing with our two boats sales and purchase and so on.. We haven't yet had one full week where we have had our mind and our body in complete rest, which might sound odd thinking that we have had 12 months since we left our home in Barcelona, but that is the honest truth. Another reason is also that Caribbean was never on our primarily itinerary, we stopped here only because we kind of "had to" - we were completely worked out and tired from those hectic months of preparing our dear Caos for this journey and on top of that, the very tiring ocean passage made us pull th...

2011-05-23 04:48:00
The third book by a scholar that in one way or another deals with the 2012 phenomenon is now out. The other two are books by Anthony Aveni and Marc Van Stone (I am hesitant to include Robert Sitler’s book into this category). David Stuart’s The Order of Days: The Maya World and the Truth ...
The 2012 book again

I have had problems deciding whether or not I should write my 2012 book . However, I have now compiled all my posts up until now on this phenomenon into a Word document (I have excluded the ones that are just mocking with the phenomenon). The posts are roughly sorted into the expected order and the document ...

Shipments from Amazon.com

Last week I ordered 17 books from Amazon.com that I hope will keep me busy during the summer (only two books about archaeology but plenty of books about water) . I specifically ticked the box for as few shipments as possible. The purchase was split into two orders (16+1 books). Now, a week later Amazon has already sent ...

Ny bok om Übermorgen.com

Hactivisterna Übermorgen.com har kommit ut med en ny bok, hur den skiljer sig från boken Übermorgen.com som getts ut av fpeditions vet jag inte, men Übermorgen.com är ju en mycket intressant konstnärsduo, lika spännande och nydanande som JODI. Kanske något man ska skaffa till bokhyllan, när euron har blivit lite billigare. Boken är på ...

Videospel och estetik - ny bok
2009-08-10 00:52:00
I oktober kommer en ny bok med titeln The Art of Videogames (New Directions in Aesthetics) (Paperback) av Grant Tavinor. Av förhandsbeskrivningen ska det vara en bok som utgår från konsthistoriens estetiska värderingar och begrepp som sedan kan användas som analysmodell på dataspel. Det låter ju intressant men lite skeptisk är jag. Tidigare böcker i ...
Dataspel och arkitektur

Texten bygger på stora delar på boken “Space, Time, Play”, som varmt rekommenderas. Har ännu bara skummat texten, men Matteo nämner intressant nog Teatro Olimpico från ...

I senaste numret av tidskriften Valör Konstvetenskapliga studier 2009/1 har jag skrivit en artikel om “Game Art - konstnärliga modifikationer av dataspel”.
