Thanks to John Hicks for making a nice looking Google Reader skin. If you don't use Stylish, kp made a Greasemonkey version. The "Trends" link is kinda hidden, but its not enough of a problem to stop me from using it.
Edit: I tried out the greasemonkey version since I didn't want to install Stylish but there were too many glitches to make it a nice experience. Install Stylish and use the instructions on Johns site. You don't want the greasemonkey version. Trust me.

NPR interview with Sacha Baron Cohen
Sacha Baron Cohen of Borat fame finally steps out of character for an interview with NPR. Thanks to Raymond Chen for his mid-year link cleaning - wouldn't have found it otherwise and I've been wanting to hear/see an interview with Sacha Baron Cohen for a while now.

Interesting art projecting shadows from rubbish
Check out these sculptures made out of rubbish (at least I think most of it was) that projects shadows resembling the artists themselves.

On the possessive apostrophe
Welcome to my place. Although I am Swedish, I've chosen to write in English in the vain hope to reach a larger audience. Audience, schmaudience - the most probable reader(s) of these musings will be myself and possibly people I know that will drop by and say hi.
What can be expected of this YAB*? Not much. I'll post interesting stuff I find on the web and on other blogs. Perhaps there'll even be an original thought from yours truly, but don't count on it.
Before ending this post, here's what I've learned today when researching proper usage of the possessive apostrophe following words ending with 's' (to correctly name the blog): You typically only add a single apostrophe to plurals, but you add 's to singulars. There are a couple of exceptions to singulars: if it is difficult to pronounce you might go with the single apostrophe and if you're talking about Jesus' stuff you leave out the s. I toyed with the idea of going with "Niklas' blog" for that reason - subtly hinting at delusions of grandeur, but the allusion would probably be lost on everybody (myself included had I not read up on the subject just now).
Anyway. Welcome to Niklas's blog. More digressions in later posts.
*Yet Another Blog. But you already knew that, didn't you?
