If you are interested in China, maybe you’d like to check out these photos from a toy factory in China. Actually this factory looks a lot better than the one covered by journalists about ½ year ago on Danish television. Great pictures, but not sure I envy the employees.

As expected Jehovah’s Witnesses turned up again about 1 week ago. What the hell do I have to do to get these idiots to stop bothering me? It didn’t help my temper when some JW fanboy commented on my old blog and tried to tell me that they (JW) respect the people who said “no […]
Fell over this article (in Danish). It describes how a recent survey by Reporters Without Borders (RWB) shows that 64 bloggers round the world are imprisoned for blogging unwanted stuff about their country/government. According to RWB, 50 of these are (surprisingly?) located Chinese prisons. China is a huge population which may explain why China achieves a massive number […]
Bad back back
Posted in Denmark on Oct 17th, 2007
Somehow I managed to f### up my bag again. It’s a bleedin’ pain to get up and down from chairs these days. Getting a good nights sleep is next to impossible. Sitting in the same way for too long is hellish too, so what to do? A chiropractor would be cool, but the bill wouldn’t. So I […]
Seems that my life is more boring than usually. I wrecked my brain for something to write here. “And this is what I get”: you ask. Well, sadly yes. It’s as is life is a bit dull after our adventure in China. Also there really isn’t much going on in this household lately. I’m busy […]
Coincidence?
Posted in Denmark on Oct 4th, 2007
I gotta give it to Google. Many times have I witnessed them hit one of my interests with interesting links in the “Ads by Google” boxes you run into surfing blogs and news sites. But today I found this in the side of a Danish newspaper site (look at the ad in the left side […]
Nothing much happening lately. Yup – as you guessed this means zero to blog about and no new entries. Just to let you know I haven’t died or anything.
…take of your shoes and make yourself comfortable. This is my new domain. The clever reader may have found out that nothing has changed except the URL which now lacks a – in www.joe-cool.dk. The whole homepage has been ported as an attempt to get rid of the illogical ban that was given to me […]
Get it before your neighbour. Hopefully I get a chance to play around and install it today.
Things you don’t want to know part II I accidentally asked C what the nature medicine was made of that she brought home from Dr. Feel Good back in China. She brought home 2 bags of powdery foul brown stuff that she keeps in the freezer when not used. Can’t make out what it is […]
…. I know the pic is an oldie, but I just love it. I found it after cleaning some folders and I just had to share. Especially since I hate Jehova’s Witnesses as much as they hate logic. I look forward to my next run-in with them, even though I still haven’t found a plan to keep […]
One thing I have noticed back when I was in China, was the difference in the way Chinese and westerners take and look at photos. When I say Chinese I can only account for the ones I’ve met personally, so even though I may be generalizing, I also know Chinese are different about this. Still […]
Woman’s World Cup soccer scandal in China?
Posted in Denmark on Sep 17th, 2007
Seems that the Danish woman’s soccer team was spied on through a two-way mirror through tactics meeting in their hotel. But by whom and what really happened? The story as the media here presents it (this part is my rundown from many news the last 5 days): China hosts the woman’s World Cup soccer tournament […]
Just found out that I missed posting one of my marathon entries from back in China. Not sure what happened, but when I tried to backlink to it, I couldn’t find it. Turns out it was never posted, but fortunately I wrote all my stuff in documents and kept it on the laptop. Must have […]
Or maybe it should have been: Two accidents seldom come alone. Just to follow-up on my previous post I can mention that god struck again and killed my bicycle. The rear wheel is slanted and make funny noises when I use the bike. The local bicycle repair shop told me a repair would cost me […]
So Someone managed to match the previous king of ugly with this “shoe”: “Crocs”… They put the ‘Super’ in Super-ugly. And… oh no… it’s not only for your children. Aparently adults are considered cool wearing them too. Fortunately I am neither a child nor an adult according to popular science, so you won’t catch me in these […]
Last week our television started acting up. At first the picture started rolling, but then a few days later it managed to go a step further and roll to the bottom and make a glowing line. After 5 minutes os so it would become warm and seem to work with a few glitches. Unfortunately this was getting […]
Trying to fix the ban..
Posted in Denmark on Aug 28th, 2007
… unfortunately involves me having to make a few of my favurite blogs invisible on the blog roll. I tried this tool, and it told me that some other blogs was “questionable”. I have now hid these in an attempt to lift the ban from the Great Fire Wall og China. This means that: Monkey […]
Help me out please
Posted in Denmark on Aug 27th, 2007
Somehow I got on the blacklist of the Great Firewall. Not sure what triggered it, but I’m doing my best to figure it out. I have done a few random adjustments on this blog to test if it helps. Stuff like remove a Google translation service, remove some links and so on. I also checked out […]
… I have to share: Deep down, in places we don’t talk about in public, you know you want to know, right? May be related to this entry and may or may not be yours truly’s toes. If, and I emphasis if, it was to be my toes, the training in making nails, would have been […]
