Nimis: Micro-nation in Sweden based around a nine-story high illegally built tower - http://atlasobscura.com/places...

Joe, Maxamad, Wulffy and 14 other people liked this
In the far southwest corner of Sweden, in a nature preserve a few kilometers northwest of the town of Arild, on a rocky beach reachable only via boat or a strenuous 30- to 45-minute hike, is the nation of Ladonia. You will know when you are in the nation Ladonia, because it is marked by two monumental creative works: Nimis and Arx. Created by artist Lars Vilks, Nimis (Latin for "too much") is a maze-like wooden artwork made of 70 tons of driftwood and nails and culminating in a teetering, nine-story wooden tower. Arx (Latin for "fortress") is a stone and concrete sculpture resembling a melting sand castle. Nimis, the first of the two sculptures was begun in 1980 and went unnoticed by authorities for 2 years until 1982, when they declared it would have to be destroyed.

As a means of outmaneuvering the Swedish authorities, even while Nimis was scheduled for destruction, Lars sold it to the artist Cristo. The legal document of the sale is a piece of driftwood, once a piece of the artwork itself, on display at the Swedish Museum of Sketches. Another means of avoiding government interference (or perhaps tauntingly inviting it) was for Vilks to declare the...

Unfortunately, this was not entirely clear in the online application form, and some 3000 Pakistanis, confused by the micro-nation's website, applied for immigrant status. They were granted it, as anyone who applies is given citizenship. However, as the Pakistanis began asking about Ladonia's embassy and the details of how to get there, it became clear that actually moving to Ladonia was not a possibility.

I would not get any where near that driftwood.... reminds me of that game jenga.

"Project Description: On April 18th 2009, the New Scientist published an article on a remarkable project developed by researchers at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy, and the World Bank. The authors combined a series of maps to create a new map of connectedness showing the most interconnected and remote places on earth. The maps are based on a model which calculated how long it would take to travel to the nearest city of 50,000 or more people by land or water. The model combines information on terrain and access to road, rail and river networks. It also considers how factors such as altitude, steepness of terrain and hold-ups like border crossings slow travel."

If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily.
- Natsuki Seika
Definitely better than #followfriday.
- Bernie Goldbach
As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user?

FF Suggestion: Some people will disagree but FF should show the services and bio of an individual even if they have a private feed and you are not subscribed. At least that way when when I get a friend request from someone who has a private feed I can read their bio and go other places to see what they are about and not just subscribe blindly.
Kol Tregaskes, Hanna Wiszniewska, Ahsan Ali aka. Slick and 12 other people liked this
Or perhaps have the default behavior for private feeds as I describe above but give the user of private account the option to hide their services and their bio. Make it an opt in to hide.

It would be nice to know a bit more about people with private feeds if they subscribe to me. Maybe have the bio/services visible to users that a private feed is subscribed to?
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Franc: True, didn't think of that. Twitter shows bios of people with private feeds right?
- Mike Bracco
John: Yes, that would actually be a really great solution I think. However, it wouldn't solve the problem in reverse - if you subscribed to them.
- Mike Bracco
What I would also like is an option for my feed to be hidden to people with private feeds. Okay, that may be a bit much, but if a person has a private feed and I sub to them, if they do not accept the request within a week, then I want an option to automatically block my feed to them. Other than that, it's just kind of creepy.
- Anika
Agreed!
- Jonathon Hewitt
I think that if you have a private feed and you subscribe to me, then I should be exempt from your private-ness. I should be able to see your feed and sub since you initiated the relationship.

+++joey.. I agree... i had a few sub to me with a private feed, R scoble being one, so I blocked them... wtf should they see my stuff and hide behind a private feed?

Red button only gives me "onboard" options, there are London Marathon and MotoGP replay screens.
- Kol Tregaskes
Why would they have CBBC as an option?
- Richard A.
Oh and the snooker.
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol: I doubt Massa will get through the field now but I think Raikkonen has a great chance to get some points.
- Nicholas James
Kol, press 1, then click right or left and you can select the audio options
- Richard A.
Radio commentary is quite funny, used to have that on when my housemate watched the football,
- Simon Wicks
Richard: For the children watching the Formula 1 who want to keep the CBBC theme ;)
- Nicholas James
Nicholas. And now the car is making a lot of noise and then the crash happened and... doesn't sound that childfriendly though.
- Richard A.
Trulli in the pits.
- Kol Tregaskes
toyota in the pits see what button does now
- Remo
The Super Soft Tyres don't seem to be effective as they were intended.
- Nicholas James
Great stop by Trulli
- Willem (@wim66) ☠
Ahhh! Thanks, Richard! :-D
- Kol Tregaskes
Richard: I can't say I've listened to it although they've probably intended to make the CBBC stream "childfriendly" but doesn't appear to have worked.
- Nicholas James
;-), I only listened to a few seconds. Would be funny to have children doing the actual commentary.
- Richard A.
Yeah CBBC commentary, LOL!
- Kol Tregaskes
haha
- Simon Wicks
o_0
- Remo
kids commentary is funny, we have it on now
- Simon Wicks
Barrichello in the pits.
- Nicholas James
going on about james bond and bowing things up
- Simon Wicks
blowing things up..
- Simon Wicks
Turned on CBBC, hehe.
- Kol Tregaskes
The kids and the r5 spoke of the same thing. They have a script and probably speak about the same thing. It's funny though. Here we are and I'm far more interested in the options we get for audio and vision.
- Richard A.
CBBC has a game!
- Kol Tregaskes
Button is pitting.
- Nicholas James
What's his position?
- Kol Tregaskes
Ah, 3rd.
- Kol Tregaskes
3rd.
- Nicholas James
"Anthony Davidson on BBC Radio 5 Live just said: "I think this could be a big mistake by Toyota, they have put both their drivers on hard tyres but the drivers on those seem to be a second a lap slower and it will put extra pressure on the tyres - Hamilton and McLaren have seen what Toyota have done but it sounds like they have decided to stay on supersofts.""
- Nicholas James
Liked that overhead shot as the car arrived in pit.
- Richard A.
Ferrari in 1st place, take pictures now
- Willem (@wim66) ☠
Hehe, this is my laptop desktop atm: http://beta.friendfeed.com/formula...
- Kol Tregaskes
Haha Willem
- Nicholas James
Haha, Willem.
- Kol Tregaskes
hehe
- Alejandro
Button first. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Another way to "watch" the GP: http://www.twitzap.com/#%23f1
- Kol Tregaskes
Trulli on hard compound, Vettel on soft
- Willem (@wim66) ☠
Barrichello currently the fastest man on the track. He's catching up (still about 14 seconds behind)
- Nicholas James
Kol: Another way to "watch" the GP look at these comments ;)
- Nicholas James
this > twitter tags
- Simon Wicks
;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Just had the gratuitous Branson shot...
- Richard A.
Barrichello pitting.
- Nicholas James
I liked what was to the left of Branson...
- Alejandro
Brawn look like they're going to a 3 stop strategy for both drivers. Looks like they're trying to keep the temperatures down on the car by avoiding the "dirty air" in the slip streams.
- Nicholas James
Wish we could hear more of the communications between drivers and teams
- Richard A.
Ferrari won't get more than 1 point, apparently.
- Alejandro
Richard: I think the on board driver view camera gets you more communications. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
- Nicholas James
Alejandro: Kimi is sitting in 6th at the moment. I think he'll get at least 1 point today.
- Nicholas James
My friend was just saying that Sky used to have an F1 channel, you could choose what camera views to watch, drivers to follow, which commentary. Pretty much make all your own coverage
- Simon Wicks
One day, all that will be on the red button
- Simon Wicks
Yea Nicholas, and Massa. is 13th. So 1 point is all they'll get.
- Alejandro
Update on my desktop: http://beta.friendfeed.com/formula... ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
You need a bigger monitor :)
- Simon Wicks
massa 18th right now...
- Remo
yup. he was having problems with the car I think
- Alejandro
Yeah Massa had to pit early in the race.
- Nicholas James
Toyota are back on Super Softs.
- Nicholas James
Massa is about to be lapped by Button, hehe.
- Kol Tregaskes
does Button have to stop again, or he can make it till the end?
- Alejandro
Brawn GP are showing Ferrari how it's done ;)
- Nicholas James
Blue Flag being shown? He's well ahead of Jenson at the moment.
- Nicholas James
Alejandro, yes next lap
- Kol Tregaskes
Nicholas, yeah that was a little unfair.
- Kol Tregaskes
Button in the pits.
- Kol Tregaskes
just in case massa forgot what a blue flag means
- Remo
thanks kol
- Alejandro
Looks like a 2 stopper.
- Nicholas James
Button will stop one more time.
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol: I'm not sure he's put harder tyres on and he's been good with Tyre wear this season
- Nicholas James
Nicholas, yeah not sure now.
- Kol Tregaskes
hey guys, I'm falling asleep in front of this programme.
- Richard A.
Richard: You should stick around here....more entertaining ;)
- Nicholas James
He has to stop in ten laps, oh no, not another pit stop. :-)
- Richard A.
Barrichello is on a 3 stopper will be struggling to get the points today especially as he's stuck behind one of the Toyotas.
- Nicholas James
I need to hook up my 2nd monitor too http://beta.friendfeed.com/formula...
- Willem (@wim66) ☠
Richard, you should cut this out http://www.twitpic.com/411ew and pretend you're driving
- Simon Wicks
Vettel in the pits
- Nicholas James
haha massa fastest on the track right now
- Remo
Remo, really? Hehe.
- Kol Tregaskes
Vettel is causing the same problem Trulli caused. He's slowing the pack on the Medium Tyres - giving Button an advantage - Button should win now.
- Nicholas James
Hehe, yeah sure, or just hold the laptop up this way.
- Richard A.
http://ff.im/2nfDV How I'm watching the sport.
- Richard A.
Richard, nice! :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm not paying attention to twitter, just happened to be on screen.
- Richard A.
Car just spun out.
- Richard A.
I see you have an old iBook Richard :)
- Simon Wicks
who was in the way?
- Remo
Richard, a BMW.
- Kol Tregaskes
BMW are struggling. I don't think they're doing a lot of upgrades at the Spainish GP either.
- Nicholas James
Barrichello great Pit Stop!
- Nicholas James
First retirement and we have 8 laps to go. That's pretty good!
- Kol Tregaskes
look that ferrari and force india
- Remo
Remo, oops. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Fisichella appears to have turned into him.
- Nicholas James
Nicholas, yep. Massa was well within his right to stay on his line.
- Kol Tregaskes
no cars unable to race. All of them going to end the race?
- Richard A.
Richard, one has retired just a few laps ago though.
- Kol Tregaskes
Nakajima retired Richard
- Nicholas James
just heard in the commentary.
- Richard A.
I'm loving the stats here: http://www.formula1.com/service...
- Kol Tregaskes
the cars are still pretty close to each other, can't say it was an overtaking frenzy though.
- Remo
Remo: Agreed. It has been more about strategy today. Although the race has shown that Red Bull are very strong (specifically for going into the European Races)
- Nicholas James
Button wins, yippee. What a good start to the season for him and Brawn! :-D
- Kol Tregaskes
Well done button
- Simon Wicks
How many more wins do you think Button needs before those advetisers will be begging to get adverts on that car?
- Nicholas James
Hamilton 4th. That's better. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
wtf a force india almost hitted a toyota
- Remo
Wow, yes they are all very close! :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
3 points ferrari!
- Remo
OMGosh, Remo.
- Kol Tregaskes
Will they be celebrating with lemonade? As their in a country where you cant drink.. right?
- Simon Wicks
Shaking bottles of Virgin Cola ;-)
- Richard A.
sticky
- Simon Wicks
LOL
- Kol Tregaskes
Good job Ferrari scored some points today.
- Nicholas James
oh yeah they don't have champagne here
- Remo
1 point, actually. Congrats Ferrari!
- Alejandro
Alejandro they scored 3 ;)
- Nicholas James
I just noticed :)
- Alejandro
trulli winning would have been great for the championship, good job button
- Remo
Brawn are running away with the constructors championship with 50 points.
- Nicholas James
Amazing and not a single sponsor on Buton's kit yet.
- Kol Tregaskes
I think advertisers will be flocking to Brawn now. Bahrain really proved that they're the force to beat this season.
- Nicholas James
great that button/brawn combo is just 1 anthem.
- Remo
So, when is our next meeting? Who brings the beer? :)
- Alejandro
10 May Spain
- Kol Tregaskes
2 weeks
- Remo
2 weeks time.
- Kol Tregaskes
what are they spraying at each other then?
- Simon Wicks
alcohol free..
- Simon Wicks
The champagne is out ;) Probably Alcohol Free.
- Nicholas James
Well they didn't drink from it.
- Kol Tregaskes
rose water :)
- Simon Wicks
Rose water.
- Kol Tregaskes
What is that? :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Rose Water.
- Nicholas James
Water which is Rose flavoured ;)
- Nicholas James
mmmm tasty
- Simon Wicks
very macho.
- Richard A.
hehe
- Alejandro
Erm, sounds nice. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Great way to watch F1 with this Ffeed. See you at the next race.
- Willem (@wim66) ☠

- Simon Wicks
see ya guys
- Alejandro
Thanks for joining everyone, see you next time. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes

- Simon Wicks
nice idea Kol, :)
- Simon Wicks
Glas to hear FF helped. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
yeah this is a nice way to watch. wish to was a way to turn on real-time though... I'm lazy.
- Remo
No worries, Simon. I've trying it with F1 and the football each weekend. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Remo if you view the thread in BETA it updates in Real Time.
- Nicholas James
Remo, unless you have pause on.
- Kol Tregaskes
Zoe Haley sent Audrey a FriendFeed onesie! Thanks, Zoe and Haley family!

Total AWWWWWWWWWW moment. :D
- Helen Sventitsky
Zoe says Hi, and thanks for the Bassmouse download that her daddy is about to partake!
- Josh Haley
Audrey says 'Hi!' and she hopes you enjoy it. The bass puts her to sleep in the car.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Zoe's daddy says "nn-tss-nn-tss-nn-tss-nn-tss"
- Josh Haley
*pulling out my glow sticks*
- Michelle Marie Miller
Yay!! Hi Audrey! She looks sooooo cute. We wanted her to have plenty of room to grow into it... and yeah... it's going to be a while before she fills it out, but I swear it will go by really fast.
- Trish Haley
Last night, someone mistook her for being four weeks old. When we told her she was over three months, he just about dropped his fish parts.
- Akiva Moskovitz
(We were at a fish and chips joint.)
- Akiva Moskovitz
Clarification noted.
- Josh Haley
ha ha ha... i was picturing a trap door opening with fish bones (with x's for eyes) dropping out of his crotch.
- Trish Haley
WT&(*&(*&HSJHST*D????

Josh, your wife's hitting the gin a little early these days...

The Haleys RULE and Rochelle you are so radiant in your new profile picture!! :)
- Mona Nomura
from fftogo
Lindsey, if she were your child perhaps.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Not all teenagers do that, though. It has a lot to do with upbringing. I was never like that, my sister was never like that, Rochelle was never like that, etc., etc. Sure, a lot of them do, though. But not all.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Three words...Full of WIN!
- Christian (Simply X)
C'mon Lindsey, don't mess with the Audrey posts. Isn't there a teenager room you can go "just say" stuff in?
- Trish Haley
tooooo cute!

Oh my God! I love their baby :),

a ha! :)

looking forward to babby vids. :)

Very cute!

Nimaa, that is a picture of Audrey, not Zoe. And neither one of them have FF accounts.
- Rochelle
i'm sorry, edit my last comment
- Nimaa
How do you find the ability to look at mundane things like TVs, art, computers, walls, throw pillows, when you own something like that to look at?
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, sometimes it just... won't... stop... screaming.
- Akiva Moskovitz
AWWWWW <3<3<3
- joey
CUUUUTE
- mjc
Akiva - re: screaming - Probably a survival adaptation. She'd die if you didn't haul down and gut a wildebeest for her because you were too busy looking at her. She screams, you need both a break from screaming, and an outlet for scream-induced rage/aggression, voila, freshly gutted wildebeest on table.
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, we are single-handedly responsible for putting an alarming dent in the Pacific Northwest wildebeest population. And by wildebeest, I mean doughnuts.
- Akiva Moskovitz
very cute / blue eyes :*
- Aliha
Nice pics. You won't believe how quickly she'll grow out of that!
- Louis Gray
Louis, when I laid her down to take the pictures, I said, "We have to take this like the Gray baby swag pictures - looking down at the baby from above!"
- Rochelle
cuuuuuuuutttttttteeeeeeeeeee :xx
- Onur Gündüz
sweetie lol awww
- Tatty Gibson
How sweet! I love all the ff babies! Audrey's eyes are gorgeous!!!
- Carmen
The neat thing about Audrey, is that you don't have to put any of those "This is a girl dammit" decorations that self conscious mothers put on their babies on her. None of the barrettes or head bands or bonnets or other things that show a parent's nervousness about gender identity. She just looks like a girl!
- Matthew DeVries
I'm late! I missed this one. Amaya could use one too... though she's not truly an FF baby. My future babies will be, though.
