    Whats currently going on?

    Well I’m finished with the current round of exams at the University. Didn’t go quite as expected.. but nevertheless I’m finished. So whats going on now ? Well i re-started my programming in XNA. Of course im currently studying hard for once, and really keeping up in all my classes.

    So aside from XNA programming and studying i have been working on getting my laptop really really souped up. Been scripting to do my trivial tasks, and also help my bored everyday a little. Getting things pretty nice on the Ubuntu box if only i could get the remaining few applications i want working. Also im serious about my workout right now, and though it may sound cliche I’m eating right, and working hard and its showing!

    Programming, painting and magic!

    So thats programming, working out and studying. What else ? Oh yeah this week I’m beginning to paint/draw again to help some friends making graphics for games. Also tonight i have my first meeting with the local magicians club 😀 Cant wait. Been exited about my magic again ever since i met a famous comedian/magician a few weeks back 😀

    So whats in the future of the blog. Well more pictures are comming. I’m aiming for a weekly update with images, good AND bad alike. They may vary greatly in size, so no promises yet. Video recordings will wait until i have a good work flow in Painter again.
    Also I’m going to be making a lot more tutorials/articles on Linux and Ubuntu from now on. Have been making many changes on my laptop and have tons of tips and tutorials that might, or might not help you. But i write them mostly for myself, so use if you like 😉

    Old posts gone missing

    had two drafts lying around that i wanted to post. But upon  further inspection only one of them were worth posting for now.

    It is about an extremely motivating lecture a professor gave at Carnegie Mellon university. Its really worth the watch for everybody in all walks of life. Watch it and be inspired!

    More from swoop later. It has also been medically proven that swoop is part of a nutritional orgasm for hot women! :p

  • Oz Pearlman Interview

    Hey guys.

    Sorry about the late posting, but i had trouble finding time to edit it a little. There was some noise on the beginning and end (namely me talking), what i wanted to edit out. Of course i had problems each time i tried to edit it 😀

    Anyhow here is the ultrashort “interview” i had with Oz Pearlman while he did a lecture i Denmark. I gotta say the lecture was amazing, and i learned alot. He was a cool guy and great about talking during the break, and after the show with pointers and such. The question he answers in the video is basically which magicians inspired him the most personally.

    So check out his site, and for newbies in magic i highly reccomend to check out his dvds. Amazing teacher this guy, and great performer! Thanks for the interview Oz !
