Fear

"He who fears that he shall suffer,
already suffers what he fear."

Michel de Montaigne

Google Me

Resent studies of the results of Google searches on the term 'ddavid' has shown that

I'm number one!

I'm number one!

I'm number one!

(Up from third, beneath that annoying racing guy.)

Go Berkeley!

Another sweet source of information here at ddavid.dk - Where Information Comes to Hang Out. Berkeley University of California has been so kind as to put online podcasts of series of lectures. You will find both audio and video, and you will find it here.

Drunk Russian Guy

Check out this short video clip featuring a pretty drunk russian guy in the background. I think it is funnier without sound.

Potential Excellence

I suspect a lot of potential excellence
is prevented by frustration of initial incompetence.

Flickr

I feel like mentioning Flickr again. Community for the photographically inclined. You can see some of my favorites here, and some of my own shots here.

Den, der ikke lever nu

"Den, der ikke lever nu
lever aldrig - hvad gør du?"

Piet Hein

Media Player Classic

Media Player Classic is by far my favourite video player. It plays everything, and does it well.

Eric Gustafson

I like the work of the artist Eric Gustafson. Perhaps you will, too. Try to turn on your sound while visiting. I think it's a rare occurrence of a soundtrack that actually works pretty good.

Den menneskelige psyke

P1 har lavet 10 udsendelser om Den menneskelige psyke. God ide.

The Eternal Value of Privacy

Bruce Schneier, my main security mayn, states the case of privacy in the essay The Eternal Value of Privacy. Among other things you will find some nice answers to the (quite silly) question "If you aren't doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide?"

Things

If things are difficult, you are probably trying
to make them easy. Make them difficult instead.

Christiania

P1's retspolitiske program Lige Lovligt har lavet en udmærket udsendelse om Christiania. Bare så du ved det.

The Word Just

I would like to suggest agreeing on the word 'just'
relating to simpleness and not easyness
unless otherwise stated.

In the Beginning

"In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded."

Terry Pratchet

Codecs

And by the way, I use K-Lite Mega Codec Pack for all my codec needs.

Online Whiteboard

This here is another great application. Imagination Cubed has created an online whiteboard, which demands no irritating membership, and allows you to be whiteboard-creative with your friends and colleagues online. Excellent.

Niklas Luhman

Mange er af den opfattelse, at Niklas Luhman har noget at byde på, men er ret kringlet at læse - grænsende til det umulige. Hvis du bare gerne vil have en ide om, hvad det er, det handler om, kan denne udsendelse fra P1, hvor Sociologen Ole Bjerg fortæller om Luhmans tænkning, hjælpe.

Banden - familiens afløser?

Agenda byder på udsendelselsen Banden - familiens afløser? Det er, som titlen antyder, en behandling af banden som erstatning for familien, og banders plads generelt i det moderne samfund.
