The main projekt of mine

In a month's time, my main project have been to code an interactive website that could keep track of some playgroups and afternoon events in my son's class. The very idea of these afternoon activities is mine but I went to a meeting where we discussed the idea and I think it was a pretty tough equation to solve and I were soon intrigued by how I could make a online solution that could track the project's many facets. I worked on this as I said a couple of weeks and I learned to code some PHP which I could not before. Now I finally finished the project.
Whether this system will ever come into use, I really do not but I've put a demo out open for all. It could be that someone needed just such a system. In that case, I'd be happy to give away the code and helps with customization.

Here is the demo version of the system

The project is in Danish but if you're not-Danish-speaking and want to see it you can see it through

I'm glad that now I broadly can leave behind the coding project because I am eager to return to what I really have as my current main project. My real current main project is to remake a picture book that I have created a few years ago into a video slide show for YouTube.

Dream after the matrix

Oh now I'm being inappropriate again, but ok I have a good excuse. It's not something I've constructed by waking consciousness, it's something I have dreamed. The image and the text is an adaptation of a strong dream I had the other night after having seen the movie "The Matrix" (read previous blog post)

The Matrix; A perfect staging of the movie experience

Well then, I had seen the matrix. Ten years later than most others. Found a discarded TV with VHS player that stood in front of a house with a note on it saying that it worked just fine and that anybody could just take it.

Some weeks later I found the movie The Matrix (the first one from the trilogy) on a VHS tape along with dozens of other discarded tapes in our bulky refuse basement. This night I had the pleasure to try to see if I could get it to work and get seen the movie. I'm slightly crazy about discarded electronics and often pull discarded items home and test if they work and if I possibly can repair them or so. I was routinely prepared on a bit of hassle and not too sure whether I would get to see any movie that night at all. I had worn the TV up and put it on a chair. Got the plug into the socket and stuck the tape in and "voila" everything happened by itself there was a picture on the screen in ten seconds. Trailers and advertisements from the tape the whole thing just spun. The entire small television seemed much more advanced and modern than I had expected. Almost a little bit unreal.

And now here after I have seen this beautiful movie I can not help but think how perfect it was a prelude to just this movie. The retro technology represented in a VHS tape, combined with the the experience of it being surprisingly sophisticated at the same time. And than the way that this elements, the tape with the film, the TV with the player almost dropped in to my life as if it was all planed from somewhere outside the matrix. I don't know who to thank for this but it sure was a "Perfect" staging of this movie experience.

Feldenkrais method

A tweet from @rvisby to day stating that very seldom hard work comes back at one as something bad made me go back and find some text about movement and awareness that has truly meant a lot to me for at least twenty years now. To put this text up nicely and upload it to me homepage. It is the beginning of the book Awareness Through Movement by Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais. Feldenkrais was professor in physics and at the same time deeply in to body work. By being professor in physics he really is well founded on a theocratical level as well witch i find very satisfactory when I read it. Amongst other things he explains why "hart work" isn't always the best solution and that I like because I am not to keen on hart work :-)

OK here is the the linke to the 2 pages long Feldenkrais text

And I'v also put up the text in Danish:

Is there anyone who will look through this (proofread) for me? It is only a few sentences.

It's the intro to a youtube video that I am making out of a picture book I have made. if you would like to help me you can use the comment possibility below this blog-post to post you corrections / suggestions.

So this is my attempt on a picture book for kids about sex. Or more accurately: This is the video-slide-show-version of this book.

I guess it might upset somebody because it mixes at lest three element that can all bring up strong emotional responses.

1. The book is about sex.
2. The aimed audience is children.
3. The book takes on a spiritual approach the the subject.

I am not planing to be controversial here. The being controversial is just at side effect that I realize could probably emerge. What I have tried to do is simply to make a picture book that present the subject in the way that I would like to present it.

The style of the book is inspired by the Rudolf Steiner movement, but I do neither officially nor semi officially nor in any other way express my self on behalf of this movement. I just like that style.

The book is available for free as PDF for printing or e-book reading from:

Pludseligt Beachparty

Na'na (min datter) er halvsløj så vi (den lille firpersoners familie) skal nok bare slappe af. Vi vælger dog at tage et telt med ud på stranden for at være et rart sted og slappe af. Pga nogle trafikale mulighedder med cykel og anhænger og Na'na som ligger og sover i den vælger vi at cykle ud til bunker 3 på amagerstrand og da vi kommer der ud befinder vi os pludseligt midt i et kæmpe beach parti med pumpende strand techno fra dj pulten, boder og masser af mennesker i det rigtige-strandparty-smarte-outfit. Vi køber is og synker ned i nogle behagelige "fatboy" (Sækkestole) lige ved siden af DJ pulten og der bliver vi et par timer og bare chiller og kikker og lytter imens folk omkring os flasher fordele og bagdele og drikker Corona fra blå dåser og taler grinende med hinanden om hvem de har scoret eller hvem de har tænkt på at prøve at score og solen skiner som på Ibiza. Hvor jeg nød det og hvor er det bare typisk vores lille familie uventet at havne midt i sådan nogle oplevelser.

Te Quiero - Stromae translatet in to English

LittleCutieEvilThing made this nice verson of Stromae Te Quiero with the French subtitles. Then in the comments under the video on youtube some guys have made a translatin in to Englich. That is what I bring her (below the video window) with all respect to the peaople who made this. LittleCutieEvilThing for putting lyrics to video and ForJustice29 and CoctoRy for the translation. (you can find them on youtube).

"Te quiero" the title of that song is not French like the rest of the song but Spanish and meaning "I love you".




CoctoRy
Translation - PART 1
"One day I saw her, and I immediately knew that,
That we will have to play those silly games
Jewelry, Kisses and tralala, sweet words and low blows
Insults, hits and so on and so on
No! Not mine but hers, yes
Our child will also become hers
And then, I guess the judge will be the one to insist
Imagine me, tv under the arm and my dirty jeans and all that...

I love her to death, but it's for life
We will say "yes" (I do during marriage), to life, to death

CoctoRy
Translation - PART 2

And even when we change our opinion
Even knowing we are wrong
We don't change life
So, just like everyone else, I will suffer from it
Untill death,
Te quiero
I would like to be her shadow,
But i dislike her
Te quiero
Even till the end of the world
Well, she'll even be there
Te quiero
Yes I loved her so much,
That I still do love her
Te- Te- Te quiero
I won't have choice, no
Untill death
Te quiero x2
Untill death
Te quiero,
Te-te-te quiero
Te quiero

CoctoRy
Translation - PART 3

One day I will see her again, and I'll know immediately
That it's ready for another tour of the piste (saying; it's restarted for the same shit)
One more world, A new Judge and then the smell of their piss (babies)
That becomes one time more just a bit repetitive

Imagine me in my old jeans,
But this time, homeless
Moral low, at the top of a bridge, a cliff or a building,
I'll look like an idiot if I jumped in the emptiness/nothingness

ForJustice29
TRANSLATION - PART 4

I love her to death but for life
We will say yes to each other, for life for death
And even with changing our minds
Even with knowing that we’re wrong
We won’t change life
So like everyone, I will suffer
Till death
Te quiero,

I would want to be her shadow
But I hate her,
Te quiero,

Even in the other side of the world,
And well, better she stays there
Te quiero

Yes I loved her so much
And I still love her
Te quiero,

ForJustice29
TRANSLATION - PART 5

I won’t have the choice, no
Till death
Te quiero(x2)

Till death
Te quiero (x2)
I love her to death (x6)
