Too much direct sunlight kinda ruined the picture, so I think I’ll go and snap it again some time. Cute monster drawing at Oslo’s Central Station.

This haiku by John Maeda pretty much sums up why I chose to study design. Athough I’ve changed my career path now, I still like to draw and create. I just wish I had more time for it.

Fischerspooner - The Best Revenge (Oliver Koletzki Remix)

For some reason my iPod is refusing to sync properly with last.fm lately. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing after all though, because all I’ve been listening to for the past week is this song…on repeat…for hours.

Street Art in Lower East Side  I didn’t check my dashboard the whole day and ended up having to dig through 35 pages to get to where I left off yesterday. It was all worth it though, because I found this gem. Thanks carlovely!

Bis - Eurodisco

A lot of good bands have come out from Glasgow like Sons and daughters, Primal Scream, Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian - just to mention a few. The best Glaswegian band ever though, has to be Bis.

The band was formed in 1994 by Steven Clark, John Clark and Amanda MacKinnon. In 1995 they appeared on Top of the Pop with the song Kandy Pop, becoming the first ever unsigned band to appear on the show.

I think I like almost everything they’ve ever made, but if I had to choose one favourite track, it’d have to be Eurodisco. It’s from the band’s second album, Social Dancing, which was released on Wiiija records in 1999.

Age is just a number. It’s totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine

This was the view from my office window around lunchtime today. No, Oslo hasn’t been invaded by Nazis, not real ones at least. The reason the area around Oslo’s main street was full of Nazi soldiers today was that they’re shooting a movie about Norwegian WW2 resistance fighter Max Manus. The building on the picture is the Parliament building. Before the shooting, they removed traffic lights and changed the shop fronts of some of the shops to make the street look like it did in June 1940. More (better) pictures at » Aftenposten
