LifestreamI must confess I’ve been awfully lazy this past term and so far this year. It’s a question of priorities. I figured I would actually try to take academic life seriously for a change. And having been in a comatose state for the last year or so of Social Psychology had given me a renewed [...]

I have been experiencing an increasing rate of memory “fragmentation” or “seepage” lately and I am at a loss as to why. Old memories resurfacing when I least expect them to, probably jogged by visual, auditory or olfactory stimuli as usual, but at an alarming rate or at least far more acute than I’ve never [...]
Postal reforms are a wonderful thing. Or so I’ve been told. But since the Swedish Postal Service (Posten AB) starting playing by strictly capitalistic rules a few years back, it doesn’t really matter that it is still owned and operated by the state. Here is an example of how drastically their so called service has [...]
Now that turned out to be a complete piece of crap. The TorqueMaster Counterbalance System on the most commonly used garage door gave up after just 5 years. So much for Wayne Dalton’s superior American craftsmanship.
I got this notice in the mail (the “corporeal” mail you know) today from a company calling themselves Klassfest.com. Some class reunion solicitation. I do not know how they were able to procure my address but suffice it to say I have half a mind to put them out of business for good. I take [...]
Yes, I think it is clear now that yours truly was subjected to credit card skimming or some other sort of electronic theft at the end of last year. I sort of miss the old school robberies where you knew what was going on, as it happened. The upside here being that you can go [...]
Wretched New Year. A fireworks to go with that. How should one spend New Year’s? If you’re like me you spent the evening watching a discussion with Errol Morris and Robert McNamara and the newly updated Loose Change 2nd Edition. One cannot let reality slip for even a brief moment or it may be lost [...]
Not a single xmas present, either way. Now that was a big step forward. No queer stuff. No sponsoring of commercial traditions. No cuddling of nationalism and traditions.
Instead of wasting your Xmas, go for a walk. Marvel at the absence of people. Or watch the last few episodes of ReGenesis. Fantastic series btw. Hope to [...]
I got a peculiar note from the Postal Service (foreign section at Arlanda) today. Apparently they have a package with my name on it that they want me to provide an invoice or receipt for. I assume they want to add tariff and VAT charges or something and lack a basis for doing just that.
The [...]
It’s that time of the year again. December. Unlike not so long ago, Christmas seems to start a good month ahead of time. No wonder. How would the hucksters and traffickers otherwise be able to maximize their gain and convince us that commitment has to be a material expression. Kind of like some nations turn [...]
