Alm 2010 presents its Smorgasbord with news from many independent, or maybe rather subjective, sources. Multi-subjective rather than objective. The focus is on content presented in the form of a video. Alm 2010 is not a commercial site but I let Google show ads and choose news. My opinion is that it brings value to the visitors. It is sometimes difficult to know what the owners of certain content want/allow you to do so if you own any content that you find here at Alm 2010 and you do not want me to publish it then just tell me and I will take it away.

Executive producer Zack Winfield and his colleague Ado Yoshizaki, together with producer-manager Tim Hole, dreamt up the idea of marrying the extraordinary skills and talent of the cream of Cuba's young musicians with the know-how and worldly perspective of cutting edge producers from the UK and the US.

Beautiful Dark Cabaret

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 21:59:06 +0000

Antony and the Johnsons is a Mercury Prize-winning music act from United Kingdom. The title of this song is You Are My Sister. I did not know that Dark Cabaret could be that beautiful and so bright. Alm 2010 presents its Smorgasbord with news from many independent, or maybe rather subjective, sources. Multi-subjective rather than objective. The focus is on content presented in the form of a video. You find players with content from Mogulus, Clip Syndicate, BrightCove, YouTube, LiveVideo and DailyMotion. There are news in the form of a video from Sky News, Fox News, Fox Business, Reuters, BusinessCenter, MarketWatch, The Economist, BusinessWeek, AP ... At the Smorgasbord they are presented with the aim of creating objectivity through multi-subjectivity. Alm 2010 is not a commercial site but I let Google show ads. My opinion is that ads bring value to the visitors. It is sometimes difficult to know what the owners of certain content want/allow you to do so if you own any content that you find here at Alm 2010 and you do not want me to publish it then just tell me and I will take it away. The name of the video playing is You Are My Sister by Antony and the Johnsons and the player is from YouTube. Pump up the volume, Welcome and enjoy some Dark Cabaret.

Hardlinks Hard to Click

Sun, 25 Jan 2009 19:18:43 +0000

There are a lot of charts out there and I like two services more than the others.

-Wikinvest has a nice product, WikiCharts, charts you can annotate to explain what's happening related to the stock price

-Google Chart API returns a PNG-format image in response to a URL. Several types of image can be generated, including line, bar and pie charts. You can also generate a QR Code.

A QR Code is a matrix code created by the Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The "QR" is derived from "Quick Response". QR Codes are also known as hardlinks or physical world hyperlinks. QR Codes store text, which can be a URL, contact information such as telephone numbers and even whole verses of poems.

QR codes can be read by any device that has the appropriate software installed. Such devices range from dedicated QR code readers to mobile phones. Use your imagination to understand how and where this physical world hyperlinks can be used. Below you see the QR code for Alm 2010 homepage and if you read more than you find the hardlink to a page where you can learn more. Do not use the mouse for clicking use your mobile. The links are hard!

One of the ideas with Alm 2010 is to present enough subjective news to make Alm 2010 objective. A Multi-Subjective news site!? Alm 2010 is a non-commercial site and if you do not want me to publish something specific just tell me. I hope 2009 has started good for you.

Who is Next Mr. Lehrer

Sat, 17 Jan 2009 10:23:49 +0000

Tom Lehrer, was a respected Harvard mathematics teacher by day and a highly influential participant in the "sick comedy" revolution of the 1960s. Lehrer left the entertainment industry many years ago and he is now more than 80 years old and is quoted as saying that he is trying to bypass maturity. One of the reasons why he gave up his music career was that he became tired of hearing and playing his own songs repeatedly. He has also said: Political satire became obsolete when they awarded Henry Kissinger the Nobel Peace Prize.

I love his work and unfortunately it still makes sense. If you want to listen and look at some of his work you find a Tom Lehrer player from YouTube below and further down in this short article you find a Tom Lehrer Zapper from DailyMotion enabling you to zap between the most relevant videos by him.

In this song, Who's Next, there are no answers but one thing is obvious. This trend is not our friend. Leadership is not about winning. It is about acting responsible and intelligent. Have fun and listen to Tom Lehrer and his sick comedy. One of the ideas with Alm 2010 is to present enough subjective news to make Alm 2010 objective. A Multi-Subjective news site!? Alm 2010 is a non-commercial site and if you do not want me to publish something specific just tell me. I hope 2009 has started good for you.

Daft Punk Players

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:31:12 +0000

A Daft Punk player from YouTube loaded with Around the World and other relevant Daft Punk videos.

Daft Punk is an electronic music duo consisting of French musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. The duo is considered one of the most successful electronic music collaborations of all time, both in album sales and in critical acclaim. The duo signed with Virgin Records in 1996 and continued to work on tracks for their debut album Homework, released in 1997. Their second album, Discovery, was released in 2001. Production was simultaneously underway for Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, an animated film featuring the album as its soundtrack. Daft Punk collaborated with Leiji Matsumoto, who served as visual supervisor. The duo's third studio album, Human After All, was released in 2005.

The liner notes of Homework pay tribute to a large number of musical artists and contains a quote from Brian Wilson. Bangalter expressed that "In Brian Wilson's music you could really feel the beauty - it was very spiritual. Like Bob Marley, too." When questioned on the success of Daft Punk's debut album and rising popularity of their associated musical genre, Bangalter responded, "before us you had Frankie Knuckles or Juan Atkins and so on. The least you can do is pay respect to those who are not known and who have influenced people."

They are still around and have lately released (2007) a live album titled Alive 2007. Listen and look at Around the World by Daft Punk and other relevant Daft Punk videos from YouTube and DailyMotion.

If you read more you will also find a Zapper from DailyMotion enabling you to Zap between relevant Daft Punk videos.

Thank You 2008

Wed, 31 Dec 2008 10:11:02 +0000

Prediction for 2009: "Honesty will pay and Trust is a good investment." Me.

2008 has created a solid foundation for my prediction. It was a year that marks the end of a long period of the opposite.

Honesty implies a refusal to lie, steal or deceive in any way

Trust is an act where you accept the reliance on the integrity, ability and surety of a person or thing
