"Nobody Pokes Anymore", He Said

My bosom buddy Apmel Goosson, a.k.a. +Lennart Nilsson commented on my post Facebook Error, see exhibit 1 below.
Exhibit 1
So as the good man I am, I did not wish to leave him un-poked for a second longer than necessary and rushed onto Facebook to give him a good poke, lo and behold this is the response I got from Facebook, see exhibit 2 below.
Exhibit 2
Apmelito, the reason "nobody pokes (you) anymore" is evident, you do not return the pleasure and by doing so cannot receive anymore delicious pokes!

Important Community Information

Today the most important community information that reaches Swedish households in a non-election year was dropped into my letterbox. It is of course - as every Swede knows - the latest IKEA catalog, this time the issue for 2014.

Every Swedish household gets it, most of them will look in it to check what's new, many will start planning what to buy, some will go to one of the stores to look at it and possibly buy it. No matter what they do or how much they get involved they will all know that the new catalog has arrived.

Thats what's called excellent goodwill and brand awareness, no one beats IKEA in those areas in Sweden.

Petition: Strip Sochi of the 2014 Winter Games

"Respect for basic human rights, including the right to choose whom you love and being able to show it, must be a fundamental requirement of allowing anyone to stage the Olympic games. Russia doesn't fulfill this requirement with the recent laws against so called "gay propaganda" and should therefore be stripped of the games!"

Demographics of A Diverse World

(via Apmel Goosson at "My Avatar's Name Is Apmel" from Infographics and Data Visualizations @ visual.ly)

Apmel adds the interesting piece of information, that the total amount of SecondLife accounts corresponds with half a person in a world as 100 people.

Monday Lazies

Today I didn't feel like doing anything at all, just hang around and talk with my friends. I think Guyke and Butch felt the same way because we ended up just hanging in Butch's newly remodeled non-club, "Whim - part deux"

Butch has done a wonderful job in recreating his old club, although with my limited powers of observations I did not consciously discover all the small changes until just before I was leaving for the night.
