Personal rant of Tai Segel
Yes, just wanted to post some mood pictures about my little boat in the Nyhavn habour. Premiere of “Desdemona” was a great hit, and the show last night even better. So the show only gets better from now on. Well, enjoy the pictures. And also a little video from “The Lonely Island”
Last Friday i finally got around to making those Business cards that’s a absolutely must have, if you want to promote a company, in my case: PanCakebeaver.com I got the help of my very good friend “Mr. Koch) and we made a very simple card with the info on the front, and a very simple QRcode on the back. (like the one attached to this post, try to scan it with your phone) So a 1000 pcs. are shipping my way now together with some other stuff. I ordered it from Vistaprint. A smart company who rely on words like NOW, QUICK, OFFER, TO DAY ONLY 80% OFF, FREE. And a shit load of email spam. But again, it might work, for i know who they are and i bought from them.. Well the business cards should be here during next week.
Uhh yeah, i also got some postcards so i have something to hang around different locations as advertisement.
So i’m keeping myself pretty busy these days. Beside the full time job, and refreshed energy for PanCakeBeaver.com (more on that at a later time), I’m preparing for the next big Show “Alo alo” together with the Copenhagen Theater Circle. And while warming up, i had a job for the Why Not Theater company to do their flyer/poster for the upcoming show “Vita and Virginia” This is the story of the love affair between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West. Beside doing the poster for them i also agreed and got lured in by my Friend Barry McKenna who was directing it and Sue Hansen-Styles, one of the two performing actresses to run their light and sound. So I’m sitting the next many nights at Café Teatret as a tech.
I also did some pictures for the show, and they are now spreading all over the net, for they are being used as show pictures under different reviews. The show are having rocket sliding awesome reviews! And i’ll throw you a link or two here.

It’s been awhile sense i had a good concert shoot. Lucky i had a chance of shooting Sleep Party People, when they where on their first tour and arrived in Oslo (you can see them by pressing here) But now i have two shows to look forward for. I actually don’t know if I’ll shoot at both shows, but you never know. It’s my brothers band “The Interbeing” who has some upcoming concerts. The events are arranged by different people, like the 30′th of October it’s a release event for “Psy:Code” first music video. I have had the pleasure of shooting Psy:Code for different events, including a band photoshoot, and latest when Slayer and the unholy alliance had their tour and played here in Denmark. Psy:Code was the Danish warm up band for the entire event. You can see pictures on the menus from Psy:Code as well.
Or i would if i had a Mac.
Well Steam has finally been released for the Mac computers, so if you don’t have a Mac running an older outdated version of the operating system OS X, you can now install Steam an join the gaming community with ease.
For you who don’t know Steam, let me explain a little bit. Steam is a program that install to your computer and sign up for an account. Via this account you now buy games straight from the program, that after the purchase downloads straight to the computer, ready for play immediately. The brilliant thing is that, when a game has been purchased you can now install steam on any computer you might have, log into your steam account and install that game, and play any time your please. Your purchases are saved within your account information. Brilliant. It’s never been easier to get new games (or old classics) for your computer.
Well Steam has now been released for Steam and together with the release, Steam has also launched the term “SteamPlay” SteamPlay is a term you should look for when browsing the Steam shop for games. It means; When buying a game you are able to play it on a PC as well as a Mac! Otherwize you need to make sure if the game is Mac compatible or PC.
But i doo think it’s brilliant that i can buy Civilization IV and play on my PC, and after that go on holiday together with Gf and install it on her Mac and play there as well. Just brilliant. Of cause Gf got her own account as well, for the only thing about Steam you should know is, that you can’t log into your account two places at once. So i can’t buy a game and we both be playing it at the same time on a computer each. Bought her the “Indie Game Pack” so she has something to play with other that Sims 3 on her Mac.
Steam start screen
Waking up today became a pain in the ass. Not just by waking up, but to find 25 mails in my Hotmail inbox of mails that bounced? What the hell? I quickly noticed that my hotmail has been sending out crap emails to everyone i have in my Hotmail address book. Normaly when someone receive a mail with some crap phishing or scam, it might just be a copied mail address (spoofed) to make it look authentic. Has nothing to to with whom appear to have shipped it. But in this case i could find all the outgoing mails in my Sent box.
Okay, time to change the password i guess. My account has differently been hacked and hijacked. Lucky that my hotmail is not my main address book (25 mails bounced) sense i’m using Outlook adress book, so all the mail might not even be around anymore, but for you who actually has received a mail from me last night. So so so sorry 
I’ll hunt down the hackers and hang them from a tree at Oslo Harbor by the balls, but not before i have had them gang raped by an Ogre and a manga demons with really big dicks!
Gears of War is the the game responsible for me having an Xbox 360. My brother and i are always looking for good games where you are able to join forces and fight together against a common enemy. Gears of War came out to the Xbox and PC. We played it a lot, and finished the game together. Gears of War offers a fun and perfect way to share a gaming experience.
When Gears of War 2 came out, i got so pissed and disappointed. Not of the game (the game rocks and i still play it) But because that i did not get published for the PC. Only for the Xbox 360. Lucky for me, that my work at that time actually got me an Xbox and the game for Christmas 
(Thanks again, love it) Mostly to shut me up, sense i had been bitching about the game not coming out for PC.
Last week IGN Entertainment published the first trailer from Gears of War 3. A game i am looking forward for. It’s not set to come our before April 2011, so we have a looooong wait ahead of us. The Trailers features female soldiers now, something we have not seen at the front line of Gears yet (Gears are what the front line trooper is called, and their name tags are cogs…) Hopefully the women of the game are not 2 meters wide and steroid pumped as their male counterparts Well here is the trailer attached to the post, and try to tell me you are not looking forward for the continuation of the series?
Gears of War 2

Oktober 2009 was a particular hard time for Gf and me. One of Gf’s best friends died in a tragic accident attending a military drill here in Norway. Christina died in a accident where she got run over by an Armored Personal Carrier (APC) (Read about it here in Norwegian) Christina Rødstøl received a military funeral in her hometown, and Gf and i Both attended with her family, closest friend and the brotherhood of people she had gotten in her battalion. Several months has passed now but still we of cause miss her very much. Christina was a life happy girl and about to turn 20, and we had never imagined a thing like this could happen. This is of cause why they call these things accidents, but still it’s a hard thing to think about and we all miss her a lot. Gf and the family has been a very good support for each other.
The last month the case of Christina Rødstøl has kind of been reopened. The Military has been issued a fine of about 10.000.000 NOK for the accident. This has raised a lot of questions in different areas like who is to be responsible? Is the fine justified?, what about the family?, Military rutines? And what about the Military sense it’s the government fining itself, plus some different other things. Of cause can no amount of money will bring Christina back or justify someones death. (you can read a bit more here in Norwegian, but take statements from the family with a grain of salt sense media are a bit to triggerhappy)
Many people has showed some interest in this entire story. So beside Christina’s memorial page on Facebook you can also participate in the discussions about the responsibility of her death and so on. It’s in Norwegian, but you can find the page here Hvem har egentligt ansvar for Christina Rødstøl sin død?
Christina. I want you to know that you leaving us has had a heavy toll in our hearts. You have become the soul mate of Maria and has been sense you first met. I was happy for ever getting the chance to meet you, and always carry with me the ways you have helped me and been there for Maria. Maria has not lost a Soul mate and she never will. The beautiful thing about being a soul mate is that you will never leave. We all carry you with us and Maria and your family always have you in their hearts and not the least, their soul. We all love you very much and think about you every day. I wrote in your memorial book at your funeral, that “I hope we will meet again at some point, but i’m yet not sure i’m going the same way up as you 
”

The Super Bowl just finished, and the team i bet on won; The Saints.
A part of the Super Bowl is of cause also the halftime show and the adds in the pauses. Here in Norway we did not see the adds on NRK1 where the game was aired, but lucky that the internet is a fast media, and all the adds are on Youtube already. The Who played in the Halftime show, but something terrible was wrong with the sound and it looked like the sound was 3-6 seconds ahead of the picture. Somebody should be fired for fucking the sync up like that! I do believe that Super Bowl has a automatic delay in the transmission so they are able to censor out anything inappropriate. God forbid there should be another Justin Timberlake/ Janet Jackson boob incident! THINK OF THE CHILDREN! WOULD SOME ONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN! Ehremmm.. Well…
Okay, so one other major thing about the Super Bowl are the adds. I don’t think you can find any add space that cost more than a 20-30 seconds ad at the Super Bowl. Special adds are always being made for the Super Bowl especially and are not aired before then the first time. There are always a lot of funny adds, and a lot of adds has been remembered for being showed there. Here is a collection of my favorite adds of the Superbowl XLIV (44)

Yesterday i had it with my pc system. I was just fed up. Some time ago just my computer started to complaint with the graphics i used it for. It’s no secret that i use my computer for gaming as well as photographical work. I bought the piss bucket in june 2007, so some compotents has run it’s course. I decided there before Christmas to change the graphics card (8800GTX) and the power supply. Then everything should run smoothly again….. SHOULD!!! Computer has been complaining ever sense.
When gaming the graphics driver suddenly stops responding. This might be because of incompatible hardware (RAM and such)
Been trying everything to fix the hardware/windows/driver problem i have, and now i have taken the last resort (not the hammer) and bought a new CPU, Motherboard and DDR3 RAM. So in total withn the last couple of months i have a brand new piss bucket.
Installation: Everything went smooth, except for a few things. The Cooler for the processor i had, did not fit the i5 slot on the motherboard. Lucky that the CPU is delivered “in a box” so it comes with a standard noisy cooler. Better than nothing, until i get one that fits.
The computer started up with no problems at all (had the RAM in the wrong DIMM slots at first, but fixed it when i found out) it even booted Windows 7! No need to reinstall or anything! Amazing. wooooo.
The new stuff
As the old piss bucket looked like
There... New motherboard installed.
Done and done. Everything in the right place.
