Ode to Bald Women

From Skrivbord

I can't seem to get this picture out of my head, it feels both strange and exciting at the same time. It's just so incredibly perfect.

Just wish I knew the name of the model. It has completely turned me around when thinking about women and baldness.

King Henry "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother;"

Graph Fever

I got bored so I decided to make a graph over the Temperature Properties of the Elements.

John Conway's Game of Life

When I first came upon this "game" I wasn't too impressed, the basic functions of the game and the fact that my patterns just disappeared annoyed me and I couldn't see a point in it. This was of course in the era of 386's when I was in my early teens.

Then I came upon a simple but fun flash that took the Game of Life and made a puzzle game out of it, and in the process taught me the basic rules of the game. Much appreciated and all of a sudden the little annoying app I couldn't understand suddenly made sense.

When I managed to plow through the 42 levels I found myself wanting more and started googling for a more updated Game of Life application.
It took a bit of working but finally I found Golly (on SourceForge). A very well developed and resource friendly application for the wonderful world of Cellular Automata.

The problem with the Swedish Language

I usually don't bother thinking much about my native tongue Swedish but I've always had a strange distaste for it. Recently it hit me that it wasn't the languages structure or grammar that bothered me so much as that it contains a plethora of words that have a very strong negative/vulgar/obscene meaning for some of the most beautiful and pleasurable things in the world.

Take one of the prime examples that really turns me off Swedish: Nipple, in Swedish we have the word Bröstvårta which literally means breast wart (No I'm not lying).. Breast wart, like it's some kind of diseased outgrowth.. I like nipples, I like the word nipple. Really rolls well on the tongue and has a whimsical and happy feel to it. I'm struggling to find a good substitute to it in Swedish but so far turned out blank.

This goes on and on, the words used for different body parts in Swedish are loaded with negative connotations or are just assimilated medical terms with a clinical dryness that takes all the fun and pleasure out of them.

Aureole, in Swedish it's called Vårtgård (sigh...) Wart Yard ( or Wart Farm depending on the translation of the word gård).. Aureole... another word that fits perfectly in the mouth, almost delicious to say and really has that nice feel to it that you associate with Aureoles...

Language envy. Thinking of moving to an English speaking country and rid myself of the heinous linguistic heritage I've come to abhor so much...
