Happy new year every­one! Best wishes for 2003…

Maybe I should do more polit­i­cal graphics…

Merry Christ­mas every­body — off to greasy food and loads of candy. Yo ho ho … Greet­ings from Lolland.

Went to see txture the other day at the church in Møl­le­gade, Nør­re­bro. Really good indeed, so was the other djs and artists per­form­ing that night in the strange set­ting of a small church in the mid­dle of Copenhagen.

It appears my new ISP is finally get­ting their act together. I bailed on Tis­cali (actu­ally the bat­tle isn’t quite over yet as it’s unbe­liev­ably hard to get a con­fir­ma­tion of the ter­mi­na­tion of my sub­scrip­tion, but hey — them messin’ about made me quit in the first place…) but even­though TDC (yes, back with the enemy) promised me my con­nec­tion on the 12th, the lights hadn’t come on until 5 min­utes ago. So expect server down on GZR1 (for those who know what that is) as I’m chang­ing my router as well…Wi-Fi ahead, yeah!

If these peo­ple don’t suc­ceed, I’m sure DAGEN them­selves will. I’ve been think­ing for a while now about what to think of DAGEN and despite my exite­ment about a new paper (any new papers) which is always nice, I have found the ones I have read so utterly and com­pletely bor­ing (yes, sim­ple as that) that I’m hav­ing trou­ble fig­ur­ing out who would actaully want to read this on a daily basis. As much as I find their dis­like for the com­mon point of view and the way every­thing gets turned into a two-sided con­tro­versy refresh­ing and necce­sary, it might be a view­point more fit­ting for a mag­a­zine as their search for sto­ries able to deliver a new way of see­ing things pro­duces page after page with­out any impor­tance or rel­e­vance what­so­ever. It’s all good writ­ten, the pic­tures are nice and in some way it’s nice not hav­ing to stare at really cheap com­mer­cials. On the other hand, I am not going to read a paper who adjust their writ­ing to fit buy­ers of cer­tain cars and hand­bags. It just might be that the large news­pa­pers have to recon­sider their own polit­i­cal plat­form and the effect it has on deliv­er­ing news, but DAGEN’s approach is defi­nately not the answer either…
