Some WordPress themes

If you feel a little sick of the latest Web 2.0 trend in WordPress themes I can direct you to some non-Web 2.0 themes! :)

All of them are widget ready and works with the latest version of WordPress (2.5). These were originally created by Maja and I think they are beautiful so they really need to come out there to go against the Web 2.0 trend.

Long time no see

It feels like I haven’t blogged in ages! I’ve been busy getting myself together, picking up the pieces before I get back to work. I have to admit that I’m a bit nervous.

I’ve also spent time watching several tv-shows. I’ve been watching Two and a half men, Dirty Sexy Money, House MD and Cashmere Mafia. You can get pretty lost in the tv-world when watching so much at once. It’s not good for the health.

By the way, does anyone like Tegan and Sara?

The Pirate Bay Launches a Blogging Service

It seems like The Pirate Bay is competing with Wordpress.com and Blogger.com by launching their own blogging service called Baywords, running on WordPress.

The service is intended to be a safe place for bloggers who want to be able to write whatever they want without getting their account suspended.

Brokep, one of the co-founders of the site, told TorrentFreak that the idea to start a blogging service came up when the weblog of one of his friends was taken down from Wordpress recently, for linking to copyrighted material.

Many blogs are being shut down for uncomfortable thoughts and ideas. We will not do that. Our goal is to protect freedom of speech and your thoughts. As long as you don’t break any Swedish laws in your blog, we will defend it” - Brokep says.

Matt Mullenweg from WordPress responded that he supports Pirate Bay’s Baywords, but he assured us that Wordpress.com would never take down a blog for posting deviating thoughts or ideas.

WordPress.com supports free speech and doesn’t shut people down for “uncomfortable thoughts and ideas”, in fact we’re blocked in several countries because of that. However as a US-based companies we must comply with US laws, which means if the primary purpose of a blog is distributing illegal material it’s not a good fit for WordPress.com” Matt said.

Since the geek I am, I just had to sign up. Not sure what I would use if for though, just to see how they develop it I guess.

The day I left the church

Leaving the churchFor several years I have been planning to leave the church since I don’t believe in any religion, I’m not taking part of their activities and I never go to the church. However if you are a member of the church in this country, you have to pay ~$450 (that is like half my monthly rent) each year in taxes to them (if you have an income). Imagine how much cash that will be after 60 years. Even if you pay that much money, you still have to pay your own funeral (yes, when you are dead) which is really expensive.

To me, this is way too much. It would be another thing if I went to church and participated in their activities. Then I understand that this type of community can’t survive without money. But this is not the case for me. To me this church believes in a book filled with fiction. No offense, I truly respect everyone no matter what they believe, and I expect the same in return. But I don’t believe a damn word in that book.

So I sent in the paper on Monday last week and got the confirmation letter on Friday that I’ve seceded the Swedish Church.

This was apart of my 101 things in 1001 days list and it feels good that I’ve finally have done it. 100 things to go!
