Nokia N96 - Bruce Lee Ping Pong

It's not Chuck Norris - but he's got NunChucks - so he's ok.

This guy has some pretty sweet photos.

I discovered him through the website BOOOOOOOM.com.

Exactidudes

Check out Exactitudes.com.


Quoted from the website:

Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek have worked together since October 1994. Inspired by a shared interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, they have systematically documented numerous identities over the last 14 years. Rotterdam's heterogeneous, multicultural street scene remains a major source of inspiration for Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek, although since 1998 they have also worked in cities abroad.


They call their series Exactitudes: a contraction of exact and attitude. By registering their subjects in an identical framework, with similar poses and a strictly observed dress code, Versluis and Uyttenbroek provide an almost scientific, anthropological record of people's attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity. The apparent contradiction between individuality and uniformity is, however, taken to such extremes in their arresting objective-looking photographic viewpoint and stylistic analysis that the artistic aspect clearly dominates the purely documentary element.

TED is evolving, but Kenny still beats Spennys ass

When I first started watching TED-videos a couple of years ago, video on the net still felt sort of fresh. These days picture and sound in harmony isn't necessarily enough, but TED still feels crisp and delicious.



On the other half of the intelligent input vs. plain old entertainment, Kenny vs. Spenny has had a little revival in my world. After briefly introducing it to Axel, Matias and Paul a friday while having some beers, the flame was lit again. We saw four episodes and only made it downtown at 2 am or something. Very worth it.

Blogging is back - for now

Facebook just takes less effort and more people view my profile than my blog. And it feels like this thing takes more time. But I sort of miss it, so I'll give it another shot.

Favtape is great. Play all sorts of music, find lyrics and videos. And make mixtapes.

Skype is no longer necessary after Google released their video chat.

It's really cold in Bergen.

Like Obama, Lincoln also loved hip-hop.

Ivar fyller 30 og synger av full hals

I anledning av at Ivar (Torhilds storebror) fyller 30 år, digitaliserte vi på enkleste vis en familieklassiker. Projisert 8mm på vegg, filmet med mini-dv og smekket sammen i iMovie.

Ivar og Frode her altså. Julekveldsvisen (Julekveldsvisa?) utvikler seg i strid med mor og fars ønsker.

Interesting Hip-hop debate

A little more than a year ago, Don Imus was fired for saying some stupid, racist stuff on his morning show. This video wraps the whole thing up (the audio is a bit crap).

The interesting thing are the follow-ups. Black Tree Media has a really good series of documentary / debate videos called Hip Hop vs. America. Check it out. Here are the two first episodes (originally aired on BET).
