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.
If you wish to play it: The irRegularGame of Life (sponsored by Newgrounds)
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...

Sick of pr0n
Growing sick of pr0n was something I thought I'd never do. But here I am, watching one of the myriads of massproduced humpmovies and I can't for the life of me find it even the slightest bit arousing.
Acrobatic sex, modern produced pornography can best be called acrobatic sex, none of the participants looks like they are doing anything but faking their enjoyment of it.
The poses they use are so weird that you can't do anything but think about how painful it must be doing them. Who in their right mind has sex in those ridiculous poses anyway? It sure doesn't feel good doing them, (trust me, I've tried much to her amusement), and it's so bloody uncomfortable that one can't help but wonder: Why do a whole multi billion dollar business devote so much money to make pr0n that is
supposed to be arousing and exciting, fail so miserably?
It's the wierd acrobatic poses, it's the lack of context of the actions, it's simply the lack of realism and that those who actually has some real life experience can plainly see that it just DOESN'T FEEL GOOD. No wonder amateur porn is growing so fast.. At least it's authentic... Well... Up and until they get too much money and they start doing the same mistakes the big producers repeat categorically.
Sick of this shit, why even bother with the crap.. Just glad I'm not wasting any money on it..
- Is the girl goodlooking? Yep, check
- Is the guy ordinary enough not to draw attention? Yep, check
- Are they doing the standard poses? Yep, check...

The golden Compass
Ok, so I'm usually not that high on movies, (non interactive media is so previous century) but this one had me curious. Unfortunately the movie was so full of fail it was almost painful to watch.
The story itself was pretty good, the CG:work awesome, and Nicole Kidman, yumm (I dun care that she had the misfortune of dating Tom (Xenu) Cruise, she's still one of the utterly few truly drop dead gorgeous women in Hollywood).
The problem with the movie is that it failed miserably at telling the story, it didn't give any introduction to either the world, the setting, the reasons behind the story nor any of the characters. Everything was just pumped into the movie and heavily cut in order to ensure that it fit within the timeframe.
Other problems with the story itself, it didn't give reasons for almost any of the events, everything just happend leaving you with a feeling of "Huh? WTF? Where did that come from?" over and over again, The characters weren't properly introduced and allegiances were forged for the most mundane, pointless and ridiculous reasons. Characters were put into the story in the middle of the movie without giving even a sane explanation to why they were trusted to join up.
Final opinion on why it FAIL so badly :It seemed so heavily compressed that the whole movie felt like a mere teaser instead of a fullblown production. It was like reading a tl;dr version of whatever is the basis for the script. No wonder it flunked the theaters, despite Nicole Kidman..
