I was trying to think today about why my blogging has become so sporadic lately. I've hardly been more busy lately and I still spend a fair amount of time staring mindlessly at my computer screen, so you'd think that I'd be able to rustle up some links and anecdotes for the ol' blog. But it just seems like I've been doing stuff lately that I don't feel like blogging about for various reasons and maybe that's effected my general inclination to blog a bit this month (although seven entries in eighteen days is hardly a hiatus).

But one thing I will mention today, though, that is kinda cool is that I've been interviewed for a big article on weblogs for Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende's lifestyle section. In the spirit of full disclosure I should mention that the journalist writing the article is a friend of mine, but all the same it'll be cool to be mentioned and linked to in a major newspaper. My impression is that the article will try to introduce weblogs as a phenomenon to people, who don't know what a weblog is. But instead of writing a how-to-create-your-own guide it'll be about why people write and at the same time present some interesting weblogs to let people know that it's not some weird, obscure, underground thing. I'm not sure if the article will make the online version, but if it does I'll definitely add a link to it.

And speaking of weblogs I've been asked to talk for 20 minutes on project weblogs during a university course, where one of my friends is a teaching assistant, so that'll be interesting as well. I've written a bit about how weblogs can be used in companies as a way to share knowledge, so combined with the story of how the internal weblog Stuff became the Blogger application I think I'll have enough material for a 20 minute gig.

There are also a couple of other interesting events coming up. This Friday marks the opening of something called Filmby Aarhus (or Film City Aarhus). I'm not entirely sure how it's going to work, but basically it's a huge building where you can edit and show movies and it has been built to further the already thriving film environment here in Aarhus. I know a couple of people, who are involved with this, so I'll go with them and see if I can find out more about the concept.
That's also where I'll (probably) go to a Bollywood party, where they'll be showing the movie It's All About Loving Your Parents, have DJs playing indy-pop and etno-beat (according to the flyer), and serve Indian food. It sounds like a really well-organized and special event, so hopefully I'll be able to go.

I posted one of my earlier entries over at Blogcritics to see if it would spark a debate and it actually did. Most people seemed to agree with me (at least to some extent) and it was nice to see that I'm not the only one who thinks people should spend five minutes rereading their blog entries before they post them.

Can anyone explain to me why the damn Olsen twins are on the cover of Rolling Stone? I like Full House as much as the next guy (okay, I probably like it a lot more than the next guy), but come on! They're out plugging some young adult movie, which is sure to have wacky misunderstandings and probably also a bit of good natured tomfoolery, but how does that qualify them for an RS cover? I thought you at least had to be a real star like Ruben or Clay to get a cover.
However, the same magazine features an article on The Raveonettes you can check out if you haven't lost all respect for that rag.
