Tobias came to Copenhagen, and gave me a copy of Best software writing I a collection edited by Joel Spolsky . “Finding it was quite hard,” he said “even in a city like London.” Oh, and I am happy-happy about that book. Now: a week’s vacation.

Holding thoughts
Briton and computer geek Matt Webb and his blog Interconnected continues to amaze me. The guy reads continental philosophy (Deleuze, no less), and discusses it like it was comic books.

Café Mælkevejen
Copenhagen’s magnificent street paper for the homeless Hus forbi told about a café project I liked very much. (I was touched enough to send them an encouraging post-card.)
Imaginary TV shows
Jason and Autumn does funny names for TV shows that could’ve been. Please go and tell them which ones are best.
The case of the Swedish pizza
Through Mr Harris, I got to know about these ideas on Swedish pizza: Stories From the Intersection: The case of the Swedish pizza. I diligently forward the information to you. I’m Swedish, and I’m baffled.
