This week
I read
- Tilbake til fruetiden "på 70-tallet (...) En del av studinene var sogar helt klare i sin tale: Det var ikke viktig å få eksamen. De ville bare lære nok til å kunne konversere sine kommende ektemenn på et høyt nivå! Den gang trodde jeg knapt det jeg hørte. Nå hører jeg det igjen! Jeg har kunnet leve godt med min 90-årige svigermor som omtalte sin gode venninne som fru Overingeniør Thorkilsen, men å se unge, velstående kvinner bære videre det samme rollemønsteret i 2007 er forstemmende." Dette skriver Grete Faremo, direktør i Microsoft
- Vi er i den lange halens tid Både medieforsker Petter Bae Brandtzæg, redaktør Chris Anderson og blogger Jeff Jarvis hevder at "small is the new big" når det gjelder media. Jeg er enig. Men begrepet "den lange halen" er ikke kjent i Norge.
- How to tell that you're in a good coffee house According to this list, I have found plenty of coffee heavens.
- Bjørn Stærk comes off the fence on global warming, writing: "It is irrelevant that you think capitalism is evil, that you see a beauty and a harmony in nature that is superior to anything humans can create, and that you think technology takes us away from who we are. It is just irrelevant that you think capitalism is good, that you see beauty and harmony in an unregulated economy, and that you think technology gives us the freedom to be ourselves. And it is irrelevant that some people who disagree with you believe some of these things. It has nothing to do with climate science. (...) There's only one thing that matters, and that is the science of global warming. Not the people who debate it, not your beliefs or esthetics, just the science. That science has a life seperate from the public sphere."
- The Sartorialist a fashion photo blog, and the newest edition to my Bloglines.
- A history of fashion photo book that a friend of a friend let me spend about an hour looking through. Why, oh why was I not alive when stuff like this or this or this were acceptable everyday outfits?
- Lady Chatterley's Lover Or at any rate, I started, thinking I should read the book before seeing the movie. Free books online... It's stuff like this that makes me glad to be alive in 2007, even though the clothes used to be better.
I listened to...
- NPR's "All Things Considered" and more from what used to be my local radio station
- The Weepies. When Heidi told me she wanted to introduce me to this music, I said: "The Weepies? Sounds like a parody version of the kind of band who write really sweet, but tragic lyrics about being lonely and depressed. Is that what they are? Cause then I'd probably like them." And when they sang: "No amount of coffee (...) No, nothing else will do. I've gotta have you." I realised I did. Can't wait for that cd, Heidi.
I watched
- Lady Chatterley The French language version of the story. I'm still not sure what I think, except that it was weird that it was in French.
