Google Street View

February 12th, 2010 by FauxPas

Got to luv the latest addition to Google`s growing empire of surveillance.

My house…my window my curtains!

Following this world wide googlization, on must expect some resistance from the natives.

Such as these frogmen, spend the entire morning waiting for the googlemobile, then chasing it away with sticks and stones!  

So little time, so much to do…

(1 point protection of privacy) vs (0 points global corporation surveillance)

Oxlo

February 5th, 2010 by FauxPas

We are the world!

Or, at least a small part of it…

Norway ano 2010, a nice blend of spoiled 20-something`s, third generation immigrants and everything beyond!

To make this mix in a good way, Oslo kommune have recycled a Deceleration of Values from 2001, given it a mild face-lift and making it available in more languages.

After brushing of the initial reluctancy of the government telling ME what to do/feel/think, must say, the initiative and message is good.

The poor photoshop (or is the poster made in paint?) just adds strength to the message, for once, a message not wrapped in too much of a mess overertucted by a sensory deprived graphic designer.

Royal youtube

February 3rd, 2010 by FauxPas

Haakon is quite the reporter, both enchanting and convincing.

Somewhat dull when reading of a script, but before and after.

Oh my…

One can only wonder, have he had any training? Professional advise…? Or maybe he just snatched a few tricks of the legendary NRK correspondent Hans-Wilhelm Steinfeld.

Just a matter of time til he`ll out-rate contemporary youtube queens Raina and Elizabeth.

January 25th, 2010 by FauxPas

Who can resist these sweet little bundles of fur.

Help save one of them from extinction by joining the Polar bear adoption program.

While our habitat is freezing as we speak, the polar bear is allegedly paying the prize of global warming.

Their house of ice melting away, leaving nothing but salt water and cold memories. (photo:Erik Malm/PA Wire)

New Dagbladet, The first cover

January 23rd, 2010 by FauxPas

After cutting (the new constituted editor  in chief)  some slack, yesterdays cover was a rather good one.

Though the NSB scandal is getting old, the headline Worse, Only in Albania is both inventive and punchy. Still, they will have to step up their game to survive.

One of its mani problem is turn of time.  20+ years a go, carrying a newspaper would say “Im intressted in the world around me, I can read! ” Now days, not so much…

Its more like, how will this look next to my secondhand Galliano glows and H&M cardigan! And, do I really want ink-smudge all over my precious Mac and iPod. Didnt think soo…

In the era of internet, who actually wants to pay for yesterdays news?
