  This has got to be the awesomest sound visualization system I’ve seen (apart from tesla coil speakers).

• Color picker thingy

  I got the idea for this type of color picker earlier this evening. Before I knew it, this is what I had.

  Pretty, isn’t it?

  Fake Steve is often funny, always sarcastic, and mostly an asshole. Some times, though, he’ll say something that’s actually pretty profound.

• A really tasty way to get a heart attack

  Er man skabt til nydelse, så skal man nyde!

  (Recycling this from my old blag, which is now in the Great Big Backup in the Sky).

  This is the B.A.C.T-sandwich. The acronym means bacon, avocado, chicken and tomato. It is truly a monster.

  This recipe will make two heaving sandwiches.

  First, grab yourself a nice, big boneless chicken breast. Slice it up into strips, and throw it into a plastic baggie along with a chopped garlic clove, some olive oil, a good dash of balsamic vinegar, and some salt and pepper. Put it in the fridge for a couple of hours.

  You also need a bunch of thick and heavy strips of bacon, and a handful of cherry tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes in half, and fry the chicken, bacon and tomatoes in a hot frying pan until everything is nicely done. Now spread butter on both sides of four big slices of bread, and fry the slices in the same pan until they are nicely brown and crispy.

  Get your avocado. You need one that’s really mature and soft, try squeezing it in the store. Cleave it in twain, remove the pit, and carve out the flesh with a spoon. Cover two of the slices of bread with avocado, and the other two with mayonnaise (I prefer Hellman’s, which is the only non-crap mayo you can get in Norway). Put the chicken, bacon and tomatoes between two slices. Eat with both hands.

  Warning: Remember to wash your face afterwards. Do not eat on first date.
