			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a <a href="http://www.newmindspace.com/pillowfighttoronto.php">pillow fight</a> in Toronto last week, and the picture of <a href="http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/07/05/13/">this pillow fighter</a> caught my eye. Maybe I will give up my disdain for people with dreads someday too? For some reason I&#8217;ve always felt a bit of contempt for people who doesn&#8217;t wash their hair on a regular basis, although some of the women can look really good with it. A shame.</p>
<p>As a person somewhat interested in possibly doing something by myself work-wise some day, I ran into the <a href="http://personalmba.com/manifesto/">Personal MBA Manifesto</a> site that more or less gives a list of books and magazines to read and study by oneself to attain knowledge similar to an MBA.<br />
The manifesto states that you wont attain all the knowledge needed by the books alone, you need to be out there working with your own start up or something similar. I&#8217;m kind of a skeptical, but I enjoy reading &#8212;so I&#8217;ll definitely pick up some of the books for summer or something like that (already posess Getting Things Done by Allen for a year or so. How is that for Getting Things Done?;) &#8212;I&#8217;ll get right to it after exams.)</p>
<p>Last week was also the birthday of the typeface Helvetica. I found <a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/magasinet/2007/05/08/500063.html">Magasinets article</a>(norwegian) a enjoyable read. BBC also has <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/6638423.stm">good coverage</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Things I found interesting this week.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.pearsonified.com/2007/04/definitive-guide-to-semantic-markup.php">The Definitive Guide to Semantic Web Markup for Blogs</a> (article)</h3>
<p>This article talks about how one should mark up HTML documents semantically correct. Although the comments points out some flaws (as using a H4 tag after something other than H3 &#8211; and thus breaking the hierarchy) the articles sums up why and how you should mark up your documents.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.emusic.com/album/11006/11006378.html">Caspian &#8211; The Four Trees </a>(music)</h3>
<p>I found the album &#8220;The Four Trees&#8221; on <a href="http://www.emusic.com">eMusic</a>, and it&#8217;s stunning. Although having a sound similar to Explosions In The Sky it isn&#8217;t a copy. Good stuff.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.emusic.com/album/10899/10899203.html">Dvorák -Symphony No. 9</a> (music)</h3>
<p>Well, I usually do not listen to classical, but I took my chance on this one. Some of the parts in it gives me associations to Bonanza. I like!</p>
