This is where I lost my huge respect for Mathew Perry (and Jennifer Aniston too I guess?). Found it this evening, and I’m a bit shocked they sold out and I never heard about it. Especially since I always liked Matthew Perry, but always hated Windows 95. These two should not be put together, but […]

Black Now THAT’S a manly color
Posted in Denmark on Apr 29th, 2007
C bought a few T-shirts for me. Unfortunately she is unaware of the facts all fatties know: bright colored shirts with horizontal stripes doesn’t do well with heavy dudes. So now I have 2 T-shirts that make me look even eehh “stronger” than good is. Knowing my older wardrobe well enough, one may wonder why […]

What I wrote
Posted in Denmark on Apr 26th, 2007
So. I better reveal the result of my contribution to the German magazine. All talk doesn’t do it. After being asked to write something, I initially sat down and wrote a bloody book. Too long, but I kinda liked it. I also had to admit that it was too much for a column. So after […]
Hold the press!
Posted in Denmark on Apr 24th, 2007
Seems the German magazine ate my contribution, and will be publishing it the May version. Funny to read ones writing translated to German. Especially now that it wasn’t even written in my natural language in the first place. Now I just sit and cross fingers for a good print in the magazine. Not sure if […]
Last summer C bought a tomato plant. Big was the surprise when my father told her it would grow to reach the ceiling before long. Bigger was her excitement, when he told her she should save some of the seeds from its tomatoes and plant this year. She never thought about that, and neither did […]
Just when I think, I’ve discovered something amazing….
Posted in Denmark on Apr 20th, 2007
……I find out I just need to get out more. Apropos my previous entry about electrical bicycles, and the fact that I haven’t seen them here yet. This is what I stumbled upon at the bicycle shop close to our home: If you wonder the sign says: “Denmark’s best electrical bicycle”. It better be at […]
A few pictures from our home
Posted in Denmark on Apr 19th, 2007
After getting hold on a tripod I finally had the chance to snap some photos of our livingroom in the evening. The daytime is way overexposed with light and can easily look to contrasty. Hey! – all posts count, right?
Another horrible Sino-Danish food disaster
Posted in Denmark on Apr 18th, 2007
C’s attempt to renew the Danish food repertoire: Dark Danish bread (rugbrod), butter, cheese and remoulade. What I didn’t get on the picture is the last piece of ham she put on top 10 secs later.
Nerd games
Posted in Denmark on Apr 18th, 2007
Found this nerdy stuff at Tim’s. And yes, I suck: At least I didn’t get Jar Jar Binks. I HATE Jar Jar Binks… grrrrr……
Just received the long awaited Children of Hurin by J. R. R. Tolkien. Can’t wait to read it. 30 years underway from his son’s editing. It looks pretty cool and in “The Hobbit” style writing (not that long) and has great illustrations by Alan Lee. And – no – there won’t be a review here […]
My work finally introduced IP telephones to all offices. Seems to work just fine after a few days of configuring the servers and so on. The quality is good and there are new features. Everything is fine and dandy. Well, except when I found out about the headset solution. I would have figured that you […]
Gone fishing
Posted in Denmark on Apr 16th, 2007
This Sunday, as I tried to wake up with some Internet news, C suddenly got this idea that we should go fishing in the harbour area here in Denmark. The weather was excellent and the warmest this year (20c). I haven’t been fishing there for ages. Somehow she convinced me it would be fun and […]
Learning Danish takes some hard work. Especially if your main language is Chinese, which isn’t comparable at all. C was randomly picked to participate in a questionnaire about health in Aalborg. She didn’t have to, but she still wanted to. No matter the difficulty of the language. So she sat down and started translating everything. […]
Nighttime pic’ies
Posted in Denmark on Apr 9th, 2007
Got around to shooting some pictures at night time. Unfortunately the picked scene is not the best but it was a sudden idea. I grabbed these as we walked C’s friend to the bus. Still funny to toy around with my camera at nighttime now that I own a tripod. I especially like the 4th […]
If you live in China, I bet this is nothing new to you. An electrical bicycle. Here in Denmark I have never heard of them, but it turns out one of C’s friends have one which she uses to go to language school sometimes. So I was a little surprised when I saw it. At […]
Germany calling….too
Posted in Denmark on Apr 5th, 2007
Saturday I’ll catch a ride with my buddy Kojak, and we’ll go across the border to Germany and do some much needed refueling of my wine-rack. It will be a long 3 hour drive to get there, then a few hours of shopping wine, beer and other goods, and then back home again. 8+ hours […]
I caught an alien abduction on camera!
Posted in Denmark on Apr 3rd, 2007
… or maybe I just shot a picture from the near by park when someone walked in an overlighted clearing? I like the first story better… Nothing really goes on here a the moment. *Sigh*
Gave my self a well-deserved gift
Posted in Denmark on Apr 2nd, 2007
Those of you who read (and saw) this entry would know I needed a tripod for my camera badly. I went ahead and bought one for 250kr (divide by about 5.5 to get US$). Neat price and neat toy. Hope to bring some pictures soon. First you’ll have to do with a shot of my […]
Foggy fog foggerson?
Posted in Denmark on Apr 1st, 2007
I’m a warm person and I can prove it. Unfortunately not in the sense that I radiate warmth with smiles to other people. My warmth problem is that I always manage to fog up windows when I enter a car in the spring, fall and winter. Can’t wait to see the summer. “How do you […]
