Därför jag ska åka till Uppsala i 4 veckor (på att plugga svenska) jag tänkte att det var en mycket bra idé att läsa böcker från Gösta Knutsson. Hans Figurerna i böckerna är katter (huvudpersonen är Pelle Svanlös) men har levande förebilder bland verkliga personer i dåtidens Uppsala. Böckerna avsågs vara en protest mot det alltmer öppna stödet för nationalsocialismen i Sverige... Jag hoppas jag lär mig en liten som Uppsala också.

 

I wasn't planning to watch this movie, but happened to stumble upon it, and I must admit: It was more fun then I thought it would be. I liked Rikkert (Wesley van Gaalen) most. His relationship with his Opel Manta is classic :-)

Interesting story in the New Yorker: What is the relation between the reality, our senses and our brain?

Don't our senses need time to digest what they see, hear, feel? Next there is some transportation time needed to our brain and finally our brain has to put all that stuff together and make some (real) sense out of it. To make things more interesting - different senses have different legacy times and you also have to deal with the difference in the speed of light vs. sound e.g.

So how do we have a sync feeling about things that happen around us? Isn't it so that we have to wait for the last feed to come in? And so: are we actually living in a world that is already microseconds away....

Wow! Maybe even some people have a different legacy time and are living in a different time all together - that explains a lot considering some people ;-))
