New blog

I have too much stuff online, so I am trimming down my website.

My homepage and all the old pages will be removed, and I will no longer maintain the rather big wiki website I used to host. Several other areas that have not been maintained for ages and that have no visitors will also go away. I will also no longer post on http://blog.g-b.dk, so if you are subscribed to a feed from there, make sure you update your feed reader to http://torben.g-b.dk instead.

What remains is just this new site, containing a blog and a gallery. The blog might contain everyday stories and thoughts, as well as pointers to new additions to the photo gallery. Hopefully this approach will be more useful to people who care about me and my life.

No, this is not Hollywood, or even Halloween. Today I felt like surfing a little on YouTube and came across this video of a man proposing a solution to whether to treat global warming like a serious threat or not. His reasoning seems fair, and he presents his case very well. He asks only to be listened to. See if you can find a mistake in his reasoning. I can’t. Continue reading
