More animals

No need to take a stroll in the forest to see small animals anymore; the squirrel is visiting us now.

Eurovision Song Contest Winners

In case you missed it:

Quite simply the best winners ever.

Edit: I found the video, and I'm still wiping away tears of joy after watching it.

Console inflation

I made a diagram that shows how much consoles actually costed; all prices are adjusted for retail inflation. Maybe I'm just weird, but I think it's actually pretty interesting. You can see how Nintendo just keeps dropping in price; according to my calculations, consoles will be free by 2012. Until then, a special deal: Trade in your old Atari 2600 for 3 Wiis!

Edit: It turns out that the graph I based my adjusted version on already has a sister graph showing the exact same data I calculated. D'oh.

"Par-tay!"

This is a nice wholesome video I remember fondly from my misspent youth. If you've seen it before, prepare for some nostalgia. If you haven't, prepare to be shocked. Either way, it's brilliant.

Cats and dogs!

No, it's not raining, it's just a bunch of photos of pets that I wanted to upload. So here we go!

Guest Starring

Here are a few video clips I've collected, where some of my favourite stars make surprise appearences in some of my favourite TV shows. The first one is Marilyn Manson in Clone High. The second and third shows are the Colbert Report and Leno, but I'm not spoiling the guest star surprises. Either you'll recognize them, or you won't care.

On a side note, I'm experimenting with Photobucket's new video player. I'm hoping it'll work better in Opera than YouTube's now overly cluttered player. Blech.

Mobile Office

I sat in the very back of the bus today, in the middle seat, or as I like to call it, "the bouncy office". The very bouncy office. Sitting right above the back wheels, you receive nearly all the force of the uneven Swedish roads directly into your spine, delivered via the not so subtle undulations of the shock absorbers. It kind of sucks, and it can make you a bit nauseous if you're reading a computer screen. Also, thanks to the wonders of adolescence, the ventilation on the left hand side has been cracked open and is now spewing ice cold air into my face. So make that "the ice cold, very bouncy office".

But still! Finally somewhere to completely fold out the old lap top, stretch the old legs and use the old grey matter for something not very useful, such as writing this blog post. In Notepad, of course; I still dream of the day when the bus fare will cover the price of wi-fi. Imagine each bus having a wi-fi uplink to, at the very least, a 3G/EDGE internet connection. How hard can it be? As hard as sticking a wi-fi card and a 3G SIM card reader into a lap top? Heck, the bus fare is already kind of expensive, so why not throw in some extras? What am I paying for anyway? :P
