Animation: Karl-Bertil Jonssons julafton

IN SWEDISH! uploaded by maxxtroSwe

Wikipedia (eng): "Sagan om Karl-Bertil Jonssons Julafton ("The Tale About Karl-Bertil Jonsson's Christmas Eve") is Per Åhlin's animated movie adaptation of Tage Danielsson's short story of the same name, telling a heart-warming tale of a modern Robin Hood who takes from the rich to give to the poor people of Stockholm on Christmas Eve. Karl-Bertil Jonsson's Julafton has gained huge popularity in Sweden, and is broadcast every Christmas Eve on Swedish and Norwegian national television.

The film was dubbed to English in 1987, with Bernard Cribbins as the voice-over, and got the title "Christopher's Christmas Mission"."

Music Video: The Walker Brothers at Millesgården



The Walker Brothers - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore.

The song and the group is great and the sound is OK but the video quality is pretty poor but I wanted to show it because it is shot over here - or rather at the Millesgården sculpture park on Lidingö, Stockholm, Sweden. The year was 1966.

If you liked the music and if you didn't know it before you should check out Scott Walker.

Problem: YouTube Freezing

I've been experiencing YouTube problems again... sigh! But - I also think I've found the solution! :D



The problem: When trying to watch the videos they load but won't play more than a second or so - it freezes.
The solution: Closing down Skype. There seems to be a conflict between the two.

Maybe this information is relevant to you too.

UPDATE: Well I'm not so sure how relevant it was even to me. The problem came back so I googled some more and I hope this is going to help at least me: FireFox Support: Flash animations (like youtube video) stops playing after 2 seconds
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Art: Robert Rauschenberg, 1925-2008

“Sometimes, it almost feels like Robert Rauschenberg and Moderna Museet are synonymous. In the same way that I can say without hesitation that there is a distinct “before” and “after” Rauschenberg’s appearance on the art scene in the 1950s." says Lars Nittve, Museum Director. (continue reading)



Mud muse by Robert Rauschenberg at Moderna Museet / The Modern Museum of Art in Stockholm, Sweden.

"Monogram" has become something of a symbol for Moderna Museet.

Problem: We're sorry, this video is no longer available

The last week or so I have had major problems watching clips on YouTube. Probably more than 90% of the clips have either just stuck in loading mode or the error message "We're sorry, this video is no longer available" reared its ugly face.



















After searching the Internet for solutions, uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash Player a number of times, I finally found someone in a forum who described exactly the same problem that I had. Luckily, I could also find the explanation; the culprits name is Google Web Accelerator.



Hey, wasn't it supposed to accelerate things?! Isn't it so that Google owns YouTube? Should they really make programs that sabotage YouTube watching?!! Is that wise?

Anyway, after uninstalling that program everything worked fine and I actually think general web surfing works faster without it. I could be imagining this but I'm not so sure.

Please check the comments for other possible solutions!

By the way, do you use any personalized start page? I have had iGoogle for a long time but never used it. I never liked it. Don't ask why. Today I tried NetVibes and so far it seems really good and it looks a bit better than iGoogle too. So I guess I'll give it a try.

PS. I'm
not a Google hater. They make lots of good stuff too.
