The last week has been an amazing roller coster ride - I see so clearly now, my life is being redefined - thank you MEX. The children at Mjølnerparken - check my Lektiehjælp blog; in Danish without subtitles - has changed my life so profoundly that it's unbelieveable. The children are wonderful, and the things some of the children come up with is so crazy and off the wall - I had no idea that children were that wonderful - even though I have two nieces. I hope to be able to publish some pictures, pending the permission of the children/parents etc.

Joined orkut - extremely interesting - the Internet is finally comming of age - lets see what happens next. Actually that way of networking seems to be manageable, which is the major problem I've had with the Internet. I bascially pulled the plug on networking using the net 11½ years ago. I met my ex-wife on the proto Internet - the RIME network - and that actually scared me "straight" - she actually left her family behind including a child aged 4 and a husband.

Back then, the early 1990'ies, the "net" was manageble; the communites/conferences had very few active people, and the level of discussion was IMHO quite high - usenet has always seemed like white noise to me, and it has probably become worse. So all in all thanks to my old buddy Henrik - actually the only "survivor" (e.g. among current friends) from the happy RIME days - for inviting me to join.

I'm once again having second thoughts about the openness of my website since I published the URL on orkut, but let's see what happens. I discussed it with my parents before publishing anything some years ago and my business partner thinks it's a very bad idea - and I sort of agree - especially because I'm currently spreading the word a lot.

BTW I'm really crazy these days - going to Prague and New York next week - I love to travel but it's been 7 years since I went abroad - that's way too long ago. 2004 will be different in the autumn I'm going to Egypt with my entire family, and I still haven't planned for summer, but I'm considering Japan - hopefully I'm not running out of money, but oh well you can't take it with you, and it sort of makes the hard work I've done over the last 6 years seem justified

More conspiracies:

This is a really bad one

I've learned about CJD (Creutzfeld-Jacob's Disease) through the X-Files, one of the best episodes is about a town of cannibals. Amazingly this episode was aired on danish TV the night before the british authorities issued their warning about CJD!!!

This is 7 years or so ago now - but I actually had Internet access - in those pre-google days I prefered lycos - and I found an article from the CDC that warned about CJD being transmittable through blood and that this was considered a big risk...Lo and behold...Last week I read in a Danish newspaper - Urban but probably based on a news feed from Reuters - that this was now feared to be true, but it was presented as brand new research...THIS IS SUCH A LIE - CDC has known this to be a risk for 10 years or so - and ANYBODY can prove it by using a search engine and the Internet.

If this can be proved to be true there should be hell to pay for the politicians that ignored this. I hope that the ones responsible for ignoring this problem will do serious time!

I'll do some Googling and return with links to CDC documents.

OK, I think that this is the link to the document I found back then. Really scary stuff
