Another Denmark. Great initiative towards not letting us be defined by extremists on both sides - just signed it.

Seeing life reduced to pixels on a screen. After an afternoon and evening in anxiety because of sudden issues the “right” pixels we’re moving. The little heart was beating on the screen. Child no. 2 is still on the way.
The “right” kind of pixels can make you very happy.

According to the blog Rantings of a Sandmonkey the egyptian newspaper Al Fagr printed the cartoons in October 2005. Read that again - october 2005. (i’ve had no possibilities to fact check his claims yet). Update: Originally reported on freedom for egyptians tuesday.
Put’s the current violence towards countries where the drawings have been printed in perspective.
The world is so much more complex than any one of us can comprehend - and people who reduce it to freedom of expression for the sake of freedom of expression with no thoughts about the consequences of their actions or leadership in bridging divides instead of creating them - and people who reduce it to boycotts and violence towards the countries that happens to have newspapers that have printed them are in the same game. Jyllands-Posten you are the extremists, Extremists in the middle east you are Jyllands-Posten. The rest of us are just paying the price for their extremism.

I just sat in a outside hot-tub with 8 people in the swish alps looking at the the stars, the mountains and the russian billionaire neighbour’s 20 minute fireworks show drinking a 109 year old ammoniak. Life always surprises. Life always surprises. Life always surprise if you let it do it.

Just posted the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad islam drawings for documentary purposes. Think it’s important to see the object that it’s all about.
This evolving story is really interesting on many levels in terms of anti-islamic moods in western countries which causes politians not to take leadership, how complex the world’s ecosystems are, the political consumer in the middle east and what it takes to destroy any possibility for conversation and connection.

Because of Jyllands-Posten’s ignorant behaviour with the Muhammed drawings i’ll make the following simple pledge and urge other danes to do the same.
I’ll never again in my lifetime spend a single cent buying the Jyllands-Posten newspaper.
Wonder how the management at Jyllands-Posten must feel now that they’ve destroyed Denmarks reputation in the middle east for many years and destroyed the market for danish goods in the region too.

Forget the personal assistant. The future is to have a personal blogger. A person accompanying you around in life, documenting whatever insights you might burb out, write up thoughts from meetings, read your 750 feeds and digest them for you, facilitate discussions on your site, delete spam comments, etc. Only issue is that for this to become economically feasible and there by widespread we’ll need to live in a transparent world where whatever your eyes see and your ears hear anyway are recorded and stored - for your personal outsourced blogger Mrs. Honey K. Balani in India to work on…

Having an im conversation for 30 minutes with a friend and then at last asking him to act on what we had spoken about - and having him answer: “Sorry can’t do - the internet connection on the plane is really bad”
