Luxury and Style

… because some guys don’t know how to wear their cars.

A few days back, I met with a dear friend of mine, Aleš Mička, the chief designer and owner of Touch­Brand­ing in the bar Los v Oslu.

Years back, he did an awe­some job on the end titles of my short­film Moni­tio and designed the web­page. He opened my eyes to graphic design and typog­ra­phy, and a meet­ing with him is always a very intense dis­cus­sion. You have to watch your argu­ments, because if you don’t, he will rip you apart and you will look like an idiot. He’s a design-​​freak with brains in over­drive mode.

After cov­er­ing ipods, iphone, com­put­ers, hook­ers, graphic design, girls, how to past 30, girls and again girls, I shared my recent raise of enthu­si­asm of TOP GEAR. And from the rear spoiler of the lat­est Lam­borgh­ini Mur­cielago SV we came onto the  topic of Luxury.

What is Lux­ury? How do you define it? How can you find it?

And most impor­tantly, what Lux­ury prob­a­bly ISN’T…

World’s worst interview, ever…

aka “Don’t expect me to work with a moron”.

These and many other pearls of non­cha­lant con­ver­sa­tion came out of my mouth on a recent, quite impor­tant inter­view of mine. One has to say, that I have been try­ing to get into such kind of an inter­view ten times.

I am not kid­ding, I really applied TEN TIMES.

It is part of an film school appli­ca­tion process, on most schools the “round two” of your bare-​​knuckle fight to get in. So why on earth did I deliver such lines?

And more impor­tantly, how did they react?

WordPress over Joomla (aka mp3 beats CD)

Within the last month, I have setup 4 Word­Press instal­la­tions. This blog, and 3 oth­ers for friends.

Now I won­der, why I have not cho­sen it over Joomla, for my own page…

Eye to eye with a Demon

It was an inno­cent encounter, but it shook me to the bone. It is this kind of hor­ror, that hap­pens in bright day­light. At first, it does not you scare at all. It passes by and you feel noth­ing. But then it kicks in. It kicks your nuts and days later here I am, still think­ing about it …

My thoughts on Michael Jackson

The king of pop is dead.

Ok, that has been around in every news­pa­per and blog and twit­ter. The sales of his albums went through the roof and every club has now a MJ week or month. None of this really mat­ters in this writ­ing. This is about my expe­ri­ence, of being far more shocked about MJ’s death, than I ever would have thought…

The Monk from the Nikon Monastery

He had a Nikon DSLR and was tak­ing pic­tures of the Kauai’s Hindu Monastery in Hawaii. I was quite per­plexed, see­ing either a tourist, dressed as a monk, or a monk, who is suf­fer­ing from short mem­ory loss, so that he has to pho­to­graph a place, he sup­pos­edly never leaves?
