TV

I wish there was more sci-fi on TV, but it is lacking as of now.

Star Trek (The Next Generation)*, South Park, Bottom, Young Ones, Ally, Monty Python, Twin Peaks, Married with Children, Simpsons.

Humor

My sense of humor ranges widely, but I have a preference for things far out. Hence my preference for stuff like South Park, Bottom and Monty Python. But I also find Dead Baby Jokes to be hilarious. On the other end of the scale I just like being plain silly, and a lot of things I don't take very seriously. Also, I quite like "nerd" or "geek" humor such as Dilbert and User Friendly.

Software

This is what I like when I work professionally and play around at home.

Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Partition Magic, Norton, MS Internet Explorer, MS Publisher, MS Office, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, MySQL, StarCraft + Broodwar, Duke Nuke'em, Blood, Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike, Apache httpd, Linux, FreeBSD,, regular expressions ( s/([Cc]hrist|[Xx]t?)ians?//g ), SQL ("SELECT FROM users WHERE clue >0": 0 rows returned).

Books, authors and subjects

Tani Jantsang, Phil Marsh, Anton LaVey, John Fowles, Wilhelm Reich, Friedrich Nietzsche, Bertrand Russell, Niccoló Machiavelli: "The Prince", Edgar Rice Bourroughs: Tarzan books, Antonio Damasio: "Descartes' Error", Bergljot Børrensen: "Den Ensamme Apen", Keith Giffen: Lobo comics, Richardson, Best & Bromley: "The Satanism Scare".

Generally speaking I like things about Information technology, e.g. DHTML, JavaScript, PHP, Databases, XML, Cascading Style Sheets and so on. Perl has also turned out to be a wicked programming language -- it's very nice.

My greatest inspiration in the sciences come from biology, zoology, neurologi, evolutionary theory. I am also fascinated by physics - although not anexpert in the field.

Food

One of my favorite subjects and passtimes. These are some of the constants in my life:

Valrhona chocolate, bloody steaks, North-Italian and French wines (and various from the "new wine countries" -- often a better buy than the French), Carlsberg, Thy Julebrøg, Cognac, Altura Coffee, French Pressed coffee, chili (Habanero), garlic, basil, ginger, fresh coriander, shrimps, olive/sesame/peanut oil, balsamico, butter, cream, basmati rice, cheese.

Clothes

I like black and red, suits, plain shirts, and a variety of relaxed clothing. I'm pretty relaxed on the subject of clothing.

Satanic focus

As a Satanist there are some aspects of the philosophy I am more involved with than others.

My primary focus is in many ways the study of our Satanic tradition - The Dark Doctrines - and the historical aspects of this. I like to know (our) history, know how we have survived and how we have been persecuted throughout the ages. My hope is to provide actual data as well as many pointers to further subjects. All with the stated purpose of letting people get some perspective of what is going on. Not only are many Xtians woefully unaware of their own history, but even some Satanists have quite limited views of their own history. Backing up history with the newest discoveries in science is my second important goal. Satanism is about our material world, and science has been OUR best friend ever.

Also, with my grotto, The Prometheus Grotto, I hope to champion the free life style we have fought so hard for ever since the Renaissance. I know there are cruxtoid people who would like to rob every freedom loving individual of everything they've gained. I will not let this happen.

Ambitions

The youth today have no direction or goal in their life, and they certainly do not have any ambition. Just look at those young people who topple tombstones at cemetaries, yes, some even burn churches. Well, some may consider that extreme, but I submit that these youngsters are still without ambition. Where I come from we burn tomstones and topple churches!!! See this picture that proves it - here I am trying to topple a medium size German cathedral - now THAT'S ambition:

Where I come from

I am from Denmark, Scandinavia. What can I say about this country? Well, it is basically a nice place to live, eventhough our constitution says the Church is part of the State. For now I hope it is not ruined by do-gooder Xtians and stupid Moslem immigrants. Denmark is populated by approx. 5 million people. Politically we are a Democratcy, although we still have a Queen and royal family.

Denmark is predominantly Socialist, and our most libertarian people still qualifies as Socialists in the USA. Danes were never much the revolutionaries, but we have nonetheless managed to go through many of the transitions other countries have, and we have often been forerunners of liberty; Denmark was one of the absolute first countries to legalize pornography and allow marriage between homosexuals.

There is a relatively small gap between the poor and the rich, and people are mostly well educated. In Denmark you do not have to pay for your education and hence everybody has equal opportunity to make something worthwhile of their life - if they wish to. I like that idea.

Poverty is uncommon and you can walk the streets of almost any town or neighborhood here. Crime is quite within tolerable levels. 1999, however, was the first year we had racially motivated riots. More will probably come if legislators do not stop the insanity. Denmark is - although this doesn't mean much by Satanic standards - one of the European countries that punish violent crimes the hardest (that's a statistical fact). Still, criminals do not have their severed heads put on display publicly on stakes, so we still have some way to go.

We have very little corruption, although we are subject to the usual shortsigtedness of Democracy and Capitalism where politicians compete for votes among a largely incompetent and ignorant herd. I have a dream that one day we will have a Ministry of Eugenics, Ministry of Consumers, Ministry of Citizens and the Ministry of Millennium Planning. We need to pay attention to our gene pool and contemplate the consequences of letting genetic disorder like cystic fibrosis and schizofrenia spread in our population. We also need someone to take care of the needs of Consumers and Citizens - not just the needs of the large corporations who couldn't care less about the future of our planet. Finally we need to plan more than 4 years ahed - we need to plan maybe 500 years ahead.
