Yada yada

Marts 2007 tog Natasha, Oscar, Smilla og jeg af sted på et fire måneders barsels og projektophold i Thailand. Vi oplevede Railay Beach, Koh Lanta, Koh Samui og sidst Bangkok endda i en næsten gratis penthouse lejlighed på Hilton takket være Natashas charme.

Smilla sov det meste af formiddagen, så imens kunne jeg arbejde til lyden af bølgeskvulp  og hendes åndedrat. Fantastisk :)

Da vi kom hjem tog vi en måned i sommerhuset i Skagen.

Thailand var en stor oplevelse og vi mødte en masse gode mennesker, især på Koh Lanta hvor vi fandt den skønneste kaffebar.

Det til trods havde vi det bedst i sommerhuset, langt ude på landet. Vi besluttede derfor at tage endnu et projektophold, men denne gang til Skagen. Her har vi blandt andet bygget Gignal og jeg har haft et spændende job hos Net Image i Aalborg.

Planen var at vende retur inden Oscar skulle starte skole, men lang historie kort, det lykkedes ikke helt.

Nu er vi derimod på vej retur; denne gang til København hvor eventyret fortsætter.

Og nu til sagen.

Jeg søger derfor et spændende job i København, hvorfor jeg har skrevet lidt om mine bedrifter. Ring eller skriv hvis du ser muligheder og spred gerne rygtet. Jeg står også gerne til rådighed som freelancer indtil jeg finder det rette job.

Thanks, Steve.

Posting designs like this one makes me paranoid, because I can’t shake the feeling that it’s not original. I enjoyed the process regardless, but please let me know if somebody else beat me to the idea!

Thoughts?

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Steve Jobs

For at least 10 years we have been told that terror comes from the east. That an Arab is suspicious, that all Muslims are tainted. (The Guardian)

And we will keep thinking that way, as long as the majority of messengers such as news media keeps focusing on feeding our fear.

It reminds me of a study mentioned in Blink by Malcolm Gladwell where it is found that:

the Race IAT shows that most White individuals have an implicit preference for Whites over Blacks. (Wikipedia)

But we can change, as Malcolm writes in his book:

Our first impressions are generated by our experiences and our environment, which means that we can change our first impressions—we can alter the way we thin-slice—by changing the experiences that comprise those impressions. If you are a white person who would like to treat black people as equals in every way—who would like to have a set of associations with blacks that are as positive as those that you have with whites—it requires more than a simple commitment to equality. It requires that you change your life so that you are exposed to minorities on a regular basis and become comfortable with them and familiar with the best of their culture

Let’s change.

I believe that the fear of minorities is partly caused by news media when they blindly communicate whatever politicians say without at least some interpretation of what motives they have. All political parties have talented PR people staffed, so it’s an unfair game if the journalists just copy and paste the message.

An example: I don’t think the reintroduction of the Danish border control is about keeping pocket thieves et al. out. The purpose is to keep our fear of others alert.
