when the santas congregate to torment you with demands of money and of affection. Fight the evil santa!

OK, I am an atheist, but what kind?

Another on line quiz that reveals the truth ...

You scored as Scientific Atheist, These guys rule. I'm not one of them myself, although I play one online. They know the rules of debate, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and can explain evolution in fifty words or less. More concerned with how things ARE than how they should be, these are the people who will bring us into the future.

Funny scam

I encountered a funny scam here in Tenerife that seems to be pretty popular. As you might know, there are a lot of electronics stores here with pretty aggressive sales people. A new way of getting tourists to buy terribly overpriced stuff they don't need seem to go like this:

You are grabbed on the street by someone who wants to look at your digital camera and wants to know if "you have an infrared or regular memory card". You go, "huh? well, a regular one, I guess" and the person drags you into the store "just to show you the difference, no need to buy anything." After complimenting you on your excellent camera the person (or persons) hook it up to a tv, snaps a few pictures to your own memory card, and shows the images that looks really awful - murky and fuzzy. He then swaps to the "infrared card", repeats the process, and - lo and behold! - the images are bright and clear.

Build your own Bagpipes

Recently the Swedish television company www.svt.se have started to add a lot of old film and video clips to their web site in the Open Archive. One of the featured programs at the moment is HAJK, a childrens program that aired during the whole 1980:s. The host, Bengt Alsterlind became something of a cult figure, a person we all loved to hate. Watch the clip, and you'll see why.

So, with out further ado here's how to build your own bagpipes out of a plastic bag, a coat hanger, a fipple flute, and some gaffa tape. Enjoy!

Spam, spam, lovely spam

I got an unusually irritating chain-letter spam sent to me yesterday. Normally these just go straight in the trash, but this time it was sent from someone I know (which means it wasn't caught by my spam filter), and the text was sillier than most, so I decided to post it here.

It starts out with a rambling, mushy text that seems to say "carpe diem", "smell the flowers" and stuff like that. Then comes a bunch of instructions for how to live - 45 of them no less. Like "eat plenty of unpeeled rice", "learn a poem by heart", "Believe in God, but make sure you lock your car" (wtf?), and last but not least "send this tripe to all of your friends". And it finishes off with the usual "spamming this to 15 persons or more will make everything you wish for come true".

Well, well, read on if you dare! (the text is in Swedish)

Am I a nerd or what?

Interesting computer equipment

I found this recently while searching for vibration damped hard disk mountings. It's the smoking and drinking front panel attachment!

Don't you all feel that this is a must have? Although there should be a beer can instead of a cola tin. This and other fine products are available from the Chinese firm www.sunbeamtech.com.
