Escape from boredom

On our way to the kindergarten today Anders and I spotted two guys in a van. They parked along the road, opened the trunk and started lifting various things out of it. Anders got kinda curios off course so we stopped. Then one of them got behind the wheel, and all of a sudden backed the car and drove over the equipment. And to make things even worse he put the car in 1’st, and drove over it once again. Then he got out of the car cursing (but off course!!)

Then they picked up the equipment and drove off…

I had to take a picture, a bit discrete.

Plenty of shoes seen hanging on wires around in Oslo. Heard about the crack theory first time when watching a tv show about Nina Persson living in New York. Just now read an article about this phenomenon here in Norway http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/distrikt/more_og_romsdal/1.6849767 Some funny comments, and I must admit that I agree with the ones saying “This is nothing else but pure fun…”

Wikipedia has more about it, and the movie “Wag The Dog” also has a reference to it (Skip to 2:10 in the clip and watch 🙂 ).

“A Winnipeg man has been sentenced to four years in prison for a violent assault sparked by his fondness for the Aussie rockers.

I’m really impressed by the victim who according to the local police force “…wasn’t overly interested in assisting the prosecution,…He said he felt empowered by this — if this didn’t kill him nothing would.”

Thanks to the Pyro newsletter for giving me such information 🙂

You can’t replace your whole music collection with Spotify. If you for instance want to play something with “The Plastic People Of The Universe“, Spotify can’t help you. And I can’t play Spotify in my car, the argument “You just buy an Ipod, then just transfer your offline Spotify-colleciton to it, then use the Ipod in the car” just does’nt make it for me. For instance I can’t use the remote control on my steering wheel to change songs on the Ipod, I have to change it on the Ipod itself…

So…still a long way to Tipparary!!

Got this link from Marius, one of my colleagues at work.

One thing PC users can do that Mac users can’t:…shut the fuck up!
