Intel Museum of Me

This might be the coolest thing I’ve seen since that Arcade Fire HTML5 video.

Intel has done a Museum of me, that shows you your Facebook life.

Old Microsoft joke

More stuff from the vaults. This is a joke 1997:

If restaurants functioned like MICROSOFT:

Patron: Waiter!

Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill, and I’ll be your Support Waiter. What

seems to be the problem?

Patron: There’s a fly in my soup!

Waiter: Try again, maybe the fly won’t be there this time.

Patron: No, it’s still there.

Waiter: Maybe it’s the way you’re using the soup; try eating it

with a fork instead.

Patron: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.

Waiter: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl; what kind of

bowl are you using?

Patron: A SOUP bowl!

Waiter: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it’s a configuration

problem; how was the bowl set up?

Patron: You brought it to me on a saucer; what has that to do with

the fly in my soup?!

Waiter: Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the

fly in your soup?

Patron: I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!

Waiter: Have you considered upgrading to the latest Soup of the

Day?

Patron: You have more than one Soup of the Day each day??

Waiter: Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed every hour.

Patron: Well, what is the Soup of the Day now?

Waiter: The current Soup of the Day is tomato.

Patron: Fine. Bring me the tomato soup, and the check. I’m

running late now.

Waiter leaves and returns with another bowl of soup and the check

Waiter: Here you are, Sir. The soup and your check.

Patron: This is potato soup.

Waiter: Yes, the tomato soup wasn’t ready yet.

Patron: Well, I’m so hungry now, I’ll eat anything.

Waiter leaves.

Patron: Waiter! There’s a gnat in my soup!

The check:

Soup of the Day . ……….. . . . $5.0

Upgrade to newer Soup of the Day. . . $2.5

Access to support . . . . . . . . . . $1.0

Stuff must have been going my way, marked with bold text are the ones that actually showed up a few years later.

NBA Finals 2006

I watched the first game of this years NBA Finals yesterday, which is a rematch of the 2006 games. I got goosebumps when the commentators started talking about that third game when Wade took over.

‘Dallas were up 2-0 and led by 13 in the 3rd quarter when Dwyane Wade decided he wanted to win a championship.’

Miami won 4 straight games led by Wade. Awesome.

I have a blog called http://ilovedisco.se/ It’s all about music.

No, TouchOSC is not ok to use in a live situation. Latency is brutal at times.

Report: Traktor Scratch Pro 2

A lot of users has reported that the new upgrade to Traktor Scratch Pro 2 has been full of bugs and problems. Audio dropouts and other problems.

Last night I tested TSP 2 live for the first time. I had no problems at all.

My setup:
Macbook (late 2006, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD)
Traktor Scratch Pro 2
Audio 4 DJ
Traktor Kontrol X1

I played for 3 hours, 2 decks only, external mixer, no sample decks, used some effects. No problem. I even downloaded some tracks from iTunes while playing.

No problem.

We’ll see if extended use of 2 decks and loads of sample decks and effects will manage the computer to knee. But I don’t think so.

Hello, my name is Henrik Löwenhamn

I have always blogged in Swedish. So I thought it’s time for an english blog. Sometimes there’s just some stuff that needs to be shared to the world.

In the menu you’ll find links to my other sites in english.
