If you only see one movie this year, see The Boat That Rocked. It’s not about rock and roll – it is rock and roll. It is pure, unadulterated rock. It is funny, sexy, honest, touching, hilarious, heartwarming, silly, crazy and magical. It is perfect. It is a giant slap in the face of stuck-up [...]

Things Are Moving Forward
As part of my push to move things forward in terms of my work, I have registered www.landsofdream.net. For now, it just leads here, but that will change as new projects are announced. I also got a couple of other domains, but there is still some kind of strange issue where they don’t lead where [...]

100 Days
The Center for Constitutional Rights has posted a detailed analysis of how Obama has done so far in terms of restoring the Constitution to its pre-Bush form and generally adhering to its principles. The first 100 days of the Obama administration presented a historic opportunity to restore the Constitution after the Bush administration’s systematic attempts [...]

More Disgust
Things are getting predictably worse in Sri Lanka as the government continues to shell civilians in its attempt to destroy all opposition from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. And what are all the major powers doing? The usual bullshit. UN Security Council president, Mexico’s ambassador Claude Heller, told the media: “We demand that the [...]

Working with Chocolate Jesus
I’m working on Phenomenon 32 (still rebuilding the game world, making it a lot more complex) and listening to Tom Waits. What a master. He never ceases to amaze me. His music is uniquely powerful – there’s really nothing like it.

Torture.
As more and more information comes to light, it is now becoming utterly impossible to deny that all the major members of the Bush administration, as well as high-ranking Democrats, were not only fully aware of the use of torture, but specifically approved of it. And what is the reaction from Obama? He and his [...]

Disgusting
You know what’s really disgusting? The media reaction to Obama giving the kill order on those Somali pirates. Disgusting. I mean, really, really disgusting. And just about everyone is buying this as some kind of act of heroism or true leadership. Please explain to me how murdering a small group of desperate kids (probably between [...]

Idiots on all sides
I was going to write a few things about the walkouts at the UN anti-racism conference, but the WSWS has put it pretty well: No political credence can be given to the political posturing of Ahmadinejad. He heads a repressive anti-democratic Islamic regime and has, at times, deliberately stirred up anti-Semitic sentiment by questioning whether [...]

So what’s Jonas been up to?
After a bout of “real” work, I am now back at the task of finishing Phenomenon 32. After that, it’s back to editing and finishing The Great Machine: A Nightmare. After that, the novel. There’s also a few interesting side projects coming up, but nothing gigantic… I think. I’ll let you know as things develop. [...]
