"First, there were sex dolls. Then there were love pillows (slightly NSFW). Now the latest inanimate object to capture the hearts of the Japanese bachelor population is Rinko, the star of Love Plus, a video game that simulates the experience of being in a relationship."
"As a mother, that was difficult for me. No parents wants to see their daughter behaving in that manner. And yet, it was pretty intriguing to watch. That last gentlemen — I was curious to see how she was going to make this work, and boy, she sure did."
Genialt. Instruktør tager sine forældre med ind og ser 'Nymphomaniac ved en fejltagelse. Moderen anmelder den.
WEST: "Well, influence isn't my definition of success-it's a by-product of my creativity. I just want to create more. I would be fine with making less money. I actually spend the majority of my money attempting to create more things. Not buying things or solidifying myself or trying to make my house bigger, or trying to show people how many Louis Vuitton bags I can get, or buying my way to a good seat at the table. My definition of success, again, is getting my ideas out there."
Et rigtig godt interview med Kanye West i Interview Magazine. Jeg er vild med den måde, Interview Magazine lader interviewet være en samtale mellem to kendte mennesker frem for en decideret Q&A. Her har Steve McQueen (ikke legenden, men filminstruktøren, der er aktuel med '12 Years a Slave') lavet interviewet, og det fungerer godt. Som Glenn Kelly bemærker på twitter: "Clearly the problem with most Kanye West interviews up until now has been the interviewer."

"When a brain tumor took away Dorothy Holm's ability to speak, she picked up index cards and began filling them, edge to edge, with seemingly random, indecipherable sequences of letters. Her grandchildren saw her scribbling and thought she was leaving them a code — but it was one the preteens couldn't crack.
Eighteen years later, the puzzle has been solved after one of Holm's granddaughters posted images of a card online. In just 13 minutes, a MetaFilter.com user figured out that as Dorothy Holm was dying, she was writing out prayers."
Forleden læste jeg en artikel om Easter Eggs på nettet. Easter Eggs betyder i internetsprog hemmelige stykker kode, som programmører og udviklere lægger ind i hjemmesider just for fun. Der er ret mange sjove rundt omkring. Prøv fx at gå ind på Buzzfeed eller Digg og tryk ↑↑↓↓← →← → b a. Eller gå ind på YouTube, afspil en video, tryk pause, klik uden for videofeltet, tast 1980. Eller gå ind på billedsøgning på Google og søg efter 'Atari Breakout'. Eller gå ind på Google.com og søg på 'Do a Barrel Roll'. Eller... eller.... eller...

"Thirty years ago, the best-paid workers in the U.S. were much less likely to work long days than low-paid workers were. By 2006, the best paid were twice as likely to work long hours as the poorly paid, and the trend seems to be accelerating."
Så er der bacon. Fotograf Alistair Philip Wiper har besøg et Danish Crown-slagteri og taget nogle ret fede billeder.

Så kom ugen i gang. Tak fordi du kiggede med. Jeg vender tilbage i morgen med mere sjov og ballade. Husk at det er på sin plads at spise fastelavnsboller ret ofte, de er i sæson nu.
Jeg kan love dig for, at jeg har meget på hjerte. Men det kommer jeg ikke til at blande ind i min karriere. Det er ikke professionelt interessant for mig at udtale mig om ting. At jeg selv mener en masse i det private … fair snak. Men den snak kan jeg tage med nogle venner.
