Hans Rosling ”Vinterpratade” häromdagen. Jag lyssnade på det idag och tycker att det, som vanligt med Rosling, bör höras av alla. Jag blir optimistisk inför världens framtid när jag hör honom prata och det tycker jag är bra.
Nåt av det sista han sa i programmet är väl värt att citera:
Jag älskar Sverige, både för att det är en så fin del av världen och en så stor del av världen finns i Sverige.
Det tycker jag är en bra anledning att älska vårt land och en bra anledning att arbete för att det ska fortsätta vara en fin del av världen, där en stor del av världen finns representerad på olika sätt.
Why are you continuing to harangue me on Twitter, through email, though doxxing me, through spreading malicious rumors about me, and through hostile threads on KiA? What’s the point? What does this accomplish for you?
It’s a question worth thinking about, because it seems completely at odds with the things you state that you believe – such as developers should be free to ship games without censorship. It doesn’t seem logically consistent to rally to defend games like Dead or Alive from a few stray feminist Tweets, while organizing efforts to harass me and my employees.
I would probably use the word “hypocrisy”.
– An Open Letter to Gamergate — Cosmodrome
(my emphasis)
Brianna Wu hits the nail on the head regarding GamerGate’s hypocrisy when regarding their claimed protection of ”free speech” at the same time as they try to silence anyone who criticize them or a game they like.
Obligatory reading!
Säg för all del att ni drömmer om fornstora dagar och invasionsförsvaret eller åtminstone en totalförsvarsförmåga värd namnet, men tro inte att återinförd värnplikt kommer lösa det problemet. Återinförd värnplikt handlar om populism – dvs på pappret enkla och populära lösningar som inte löser några som helst problem. Via GU Ny och GSS/P har vi redan en frivillig värnplikt.
Är du för återinförd värnplikt är det bara att anmäla sig till GU Ny, för du har väl inte tänkt att någon annan ska vara den som genomför din önskade återinförda värnplikt? Även äldre kan göra GU Ny och Försvarsmakten tar nog gärna emot GSS/P under 40 års ålder – det finns GSS/T i 40-årsåldern iaf.
Att inte 72% av svenska folket, inte ens 72% från de yngre årskullarna, har sökt tjänst hos Försvarsmakten visar på att man egentligen inte alls stöder värnplikt utan bara att någon annan ska göra denna värnplikt, så man själv kan sussa gott om natten, utan tumme i munnen och utan snuttefilt.
– Nej, återinförd ”värnplikt” kommer inte återupprätta ett svenskt invasionsförsvar | Cornucopia?
Om det moraliska argumentet att vi människor inte är statens egendom och att värnplikt därmed är slaveri inte biter på dig så kanske Lars Wilderängs rent praktiska invändningar mot värnplikten få dig att förstå att det är en dålig idé.
I’ve written before about me wanting to blog more. I like the idea of myself being ”a blogger”, but the procrastination force is strong with me so I rarely do blog. Also I think I worry about not expressing myself eloquently enough and therefore I choose to not do it at all. Perfect is indeed the worst enemy of good.
I watched Salmon Fishing in the Jemen tonight and I think it was a good movie. Not great but good. It was a funny, but not in a hysterically-laughing-out-loud kind of way, and heartwarming tale of fishing, love and faith.
It was a nice ending to the Christmas Holiday. Yes, I’m off from work until Monday but tonight was the last night with our relatives. Tomorrow we’ll be heading home to Falun. Both Linn, I and Iris have been suffering from a cold today, which has been a bit of a bummer. Hopefully Iris is better tomorrow and fit fot the trip home.
Google really hurt the blogosphere with the dominance of Reader and then its shutdown. It’s good to pay attention to that now. When you start relying on a dominant product, everything is good, because it hasn’t gone away yet. You don’t feel the pain until it goes away.
If you aren’t already following Dave Winer’s writing, you really should start now. His perspective and ideas on the open web is an important one.

Never let something like a skimpy bikini stop you from doing what needs to be done.
This is just at quick post to share some awesome robotics stuff on YouTube.
Yesterday I took a long walk with Iris and while she slept I listened to a whole bunch of episodes of the silly podcast Robot or Not?. It’s really silly, and funny, and great, and if you have any interest in the Incomparable and/or Jason Snell or John Siracusa you should listen to it!
Anyway, all their talk about robots got me thinking about BB-8 and the fact that I kind of want to put a BB-8 toy on the wish list for my 30th birthday. Still, it’s a really expensive toy considering that the main thing I’d probably have it do is patrol back and forth through my house. So instead I started thinking about building robots, which led me to YouTube.
First, I found this great of how the BB-8 toy works wherein a guy who build robots for fun, and who has built and R2-D2, takes a BB-8 toy apart and shows how it works.
Then I found a video of a guy who’s building his own BB-8 from a globe, and RC car and some other stuff. Inspiring idea, and I love how he walks us through his work.
I then took a closer look at the guy behind said video and he seems to be simply awesome! He builds all kinds of cool geeky stuff. How about an actual ion propulsion for a TIE Fighter toy? Check this guy out!
And finally, as I made my way out of the BB-8 hole and towards the Arduino based robots I’ve seen before I found this guy, Kid Robot Maker and his video about how to make a cheap Arduino robot. This kid is my new hero!
The robot he builds is excellent in its simplicity and I love how this kid, who seems to be really young, just throws himself out there to the world and sort of says ”hi, let me show you something awesome”. How come I, who are probably at least twice his age, never seems to be able to work up the courage to do a video like this of some simple but cool project.
Kid Robot Maker, you’re the man!
Some awesome things ift.tt/1SYGsFU
