I love the early stuff of Metallica, and though my enthusiasm was slowly decreasing with the “…and Justice for All” album, it is still a record I’ve listened to – and like – very much. Finding this video f**king with the song on YouTube just made my day. Watch it here.
I stopped by this place by chance today, and it is no doubt the best espresso you can get in Oslo. It is probably one of the best cups of espresso I’ve had ever. It even beats Jonni™ homemade cup of espresso (my previous favourite). Check out Tim Wendelboe coffee.
Not every day you can enjoy the company of Earth’s Flash gurus. Erik Natzke, Branden Hall, me, Joshua Davis.
Huzza! 3rd place at doubles foos tournament (with Trond). Team-Monkeyball-Darkside can stay at home though. Congrats to Brendan and Tore for the 1st place!
Q: And, in the end, the love you take is equal to what?
A: The love you make.
Q: What is the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen?
A: Black on black, blue on blue, green on green.
After 6 and a half great years at Klapp, I am now looking forward to starting at SDG. This Way Design will take a break, but this blog will continue – but with more strange stuff, like, photos by me, inspirational links and the in-between-quasi-philosophic comment.
With MTV no longer showing music videos (and when they do, all being generic-rnb-videos, this homemade video has all the magic music videos can have. Remember: don’t skip. And watch it all.
Facebook sucks. Together with 216 other people we’re tomorrow commiting Facebook Mass Suicide. One month was enough. My MySpace page will have to go too. One can only bear a certain amount of web 2.0.
My life’s #1 priority changed from “World domination” to “Have Joanna sit by my bed and sing me to sleep”.
Death comes suddenly, and to all, we will all experience the same – and noone knowing what comes after. Sadness is just a sign of love, fear is just love of living. Be mindful of God, be as good as you can, and then try harder. Seek universal love.
I will miss you grandpa, fürchte dich nicht.
I spent three great days in Brighton recently going to the Flash on the Beach conference, met many nice people and enjoyed great talks by Erik Natzke, Neville Brody, Aral Balkan, Hoss Gifford, Hillman Curtis, Brendan Dawes, Branden Hall and Chris Pelsor.
In addition, a bonus I would say, the vegitarian breakfast at Jeff’s was soo good!
Another three great days were spent in at the All Tomorrow’s Partiesmusic festival on the west-coast of England. Amazing concerts by The Stooges, Sonic Youth, Melvins and Dinosaur Jr! Other bands worth mentioning: The Dead C, Be Your Own Pet and Gang of Four. Without getting too sentimental, it was really special going to all the good concerts this time, as I feel my festival-days are coming to an end. I feel so lucky for this experience.
Geijutsu = function + purpose + aestethics.
We mistakenly perpetuate the idea that there is a clear-cut distinction when it’s more a matter of shading than dividing.
“Some will concider the works of This Way Design to be art, others will claim it is advertising. I like to think about it as the art of advertising to come.” Ivar, High Times.
Mark Jenkins is taking it to another level with his new “Embeds”. The sculptures are made of tape and then clothes are added.
Check out the video to see how people react to the sculpture…
2 days of good talks here in Oslo during the Visuelt days, really liked the works of Klaus Haapaniemi, Gary Baseman (“hi Toby!”), Anisa Suthayalai and Group94. Klapp Media got a prize for a webproject for TINE that I was involved with.
Crazy danish animation. A must see. Here.
