Cover art competetion

It’s out. it’s free if you want it to be. There’s no cover provided.

Not to worry: Check out what the fans just made over at hicks­de­sign. Kinda clever marketing-wise, no?

White walls of decay

I’ve enjoyed sets. Wall dec­o­ra­tion projects doc­u­mented almost in real time on Flickr.

Now it turns really social:

We have got a new wall in Nord­Vest where there will be (almost) no restric­tions. This wall is to be made only by the stuff YOU (the flickr user) sends to us on the EXACT day that we paint. A pic­ture of the wall will be posted when we have got a date for the job. []

Look out for the date and send him your stuff.

[DK] Find Maddie nu!

Ok, jeg giver op og tilslut­ter mig det nævenyttige kor af folk, der mener at “de der poli­tier godt kunne prøve at finde hende bar­net”. Ikke af hen­syn til fam­i­lien, til bar­net selv eller pga. retfærdighed og andet uldent snask.

Nej, jeg vil bare sÃ¥ gerne kunne drikke min mor­genkaffe i fred uden at skulle høre de samme tre men­nesker opdatere hinan­den pÃ¥ den samme his­to­rie, ref­erere B.T. for hinan­den og komme med begavede forslag til, “hvor­dan man kunne have fun­det ud af om den pige pÃ¥ billedet er Mad­die. taler hun marokkansk, mÃ¥ske? a-HA!”.

Switching servers

I’m about to switch server. So if any­thing looks funny within the next 48 hours or so, it’s me tak­ing a long time to fix some­thing that shouldn’t take long.

Every­thing seem to ahve went well. Down­load files and DB dump, upload files and DB dump — easy-peasy. If every­thing seem to be out of order, please let me know.

Lumiere Manifesto on videoblogging.info

Videoblog­ging mae­stro (and Hoist deck­hand) Andreas Haugstrup updates his site, videoblogging.info:

Lumiere video arises from the tra­di­tion of the French Lumiere broth­ers. Cred­ited with some of the first footage cap­tured, in 1895, the Lumieres are also rec­og­nized for hold­ing the first pub­lic film screen­ing, show­ing ten shorts that lasted only twenty min­utes total. At the time, Louis Lumiere stated, “The cin­ema is an inven­tion with­out a future,” believ­ing that every­day pho­tog­ra­phy and video was ulti­mately non­sen­si­cal. Yet, we stand firm that Lumiere prin­ci­ples are essen­tial to our exis­tence as artists, media pro­duc­ers, visual crea­tures, and world citizens.

I’ve been fol­low­ing his Lumiere videos (with the nice cap­tion “This is a Lumiere video. The video con­tains no audio. Feel free to leave your own music run­ning”) since the begin­ning. Good stuff, have a look.

[DK] Overarbejdsinnovativ

Det her (¸j pop musik, cola og lange arbe­jds­dage) er det dummeste jeg længe har hørt. Det er til gengæld ikke første gang jeg hører det.

Det er den sædvanlige sang om at hvis bare vi havde mere bor­d­fod­bold og sjove fig­urer pÃ¥ vores skrive­bord, sÃ¥ ville vi være sÃ¥ meget mere kreative, mand

. Og inno­v­a­tive. Og fede. For det er jo den der cor­po­rate kul­tur der holder os tilbage, bremser os i vores fede flow.

Bull­shit.

Al respekt for lange arbe­jds­dage, the long haul, den sene kode­ses­sion, hvor den der ting bare skal være færdig, koste hvad det vil. For det kan være en ganske pro­duk­tiv og intere­sant stemn­ing. Og kan være svær at undgÃ¥ til tider. Men selvom ¸benhavn kan tage sig sÃ¥ ual­min­delig smuk ud, nÃ¥r man stavrer over Dron­ning Louises bro, sanseløst beruset kl. 7 om mor­ge­nen efter en god nat i byen, er det næppe alko­holind­taget, der lev­erer solop­gan­gen. Det han­dler om Ã¥rsag og effekt, fak­tor­ernes orden osv.

For at være inno­v­a­tive, tror jeg vi skal huske, hvor vigtigt det dynamiske miljø er.

Og dynamik og cola, det er da det samme. Lige­som det jo naturligvis er den tidlige død, der gør Kurt Cobain dygtig til at skrive sange.

Man kunne godt pÃ¥stÃ¥ at tidlig død er en kon­sekvens af et liv inde­hold­ende en masse utæmmet kreativitet. Og at sene arbe­jds­dage med pop­musik i radioen (hvor inno­v­a­tivt!) er en kon­sekvens af dÃ¥rlig ledelse eller ringe kom­pe­tencer. Eller som min­i­mum bare igen kon­statere at man næppe kan pinball’e sig til kreativ stemn­ing, drikke sig til smuk natur eller selv­morde sig til en god plade.

Og det er alt sam­men pis­selig­e­gyldigt, hvis ikke det var fordi ideen om ‘dynamik’ i form af lig­e­gyldige arte­fak­ter og et afs­lap­pet forhold til arbe­jd­stider samt lig­e­gyldigt brok over ‘lønmodtagermentalitet’ er sÃ¥ udbredt (og absurd fantasiløst) at alle de sÃ¥kaldt inno­v­a­tive bare har at tage en sjov hat pÃ¥ og tale fremtidsmusik for at blive taget alvorligt.

At ville arbe­jde længe og drikke nørd-colaer er sjovt nok det mindst inno­v­a­tive jeg nogensinde har hørt.

Did you just butt dial me?

Good friend Lars Pind was kind enough to inform me that this thing has a beau­ti­ful name: Butt dial­ing. I like it.
