Assignment for school: Re-Appropriation

In our course ‘Culture and Media Studies’ our assignment for this Monday (16/11) was to “Write an analysis of [an] image/video in which you define the concept (e.g. bricolage, counter-bricolage, appropriation or re-appropiation) and how the chosen image is an example of it.

RPGs

Lately, my dormant interest in RPGs has had a violent resurgence. This is mainly to blaim on a few games and a lot of podcasts. So… This will be a post directed towards gamers and others interested. If you’re not a gamer and thus don’t understand what I’m talking about here, I just don’t think I give a shit.

Marxism and Monsters

Just a quick one.
By discussing all kinds of weird shit today i remembered a talk that was sent to me a couple of years ago given by China Miéville about how one, as a marxist, can look at and use monsters in literature and film. In this talk he puts monsters in their historical and social context, while keeping the whole thing low on heavy theory. Even if some of the stuff in it are no-brainers it’s still a nice and entertaining 40 min listen and if you’re at all interested you can get it by right-clicking here and selecting “Save as”. But I’m guessing you already knew that.

I promise an update somewhat related to this topic in the near future…

GMscript

I just stumbled upon (not with the stumbleupon app) a wonderful GreaseMonkey script called ‘Completely Idiotic‘. What it does is that it adds the phrase “Which is, of course, completely idiotic” to the end of paragraphs on major news sites. For some strange reason I found this very amusing, changed the script and uploaded a Swedish version for Swedish sites. Download it here… Or die (BTW… sorry to tell you this, but you’re actually gonna die anyway, let’s just say it was because you didn’t download the script)

By Popular Demand

Quick update before I’m off to school. The has been requests (on facebook) of pictures of me holding the rocks, just to show how large they are. So here’s one just like that.

Look, look how beautifully the new iStone fits in my hand!

Artist Book

In case you’re wondering what I do during my few waking hours I’ll make you happy by doing that web 2.0 thing: sharing.  (as we all know; Sharing is scary)

First!

blogg.se sucks so I’m switching. I was very happy (and a bit surprised) to see that my old blogname was available here on wordpress as well. I’ll try to post here more often than on my old blog… I promise. Really.

As a starter I’d like to share my experiences on Skype today by showing you the text conversation I had just a moment ago. Some person called ‘DivineParks’ from France started talking to me and before long something seemed… odd.  I don’t mind talking to strangers about personal matters, but this was just something else.
