09/08/2004: "Paraskevidekatriaphobia"

Nice word!?

About.com says under Urban Legends and Folklore:

Paraskevidekatriaphobics — people afflicted with a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th — are no doubt pricking up their ears just now, buoyed by evidence that their terror may not be so irrational after all. But it's unwise to take solace in a single scientific study (the only one of its kind, so far as I know), especially one so peculiar. I suspect it has more to teach us about human psychology than it does about any particular date on the calendar.



Wise people like myself don't care.
Or am I wise?
No.

On Friday the 13th of August I published my first Art News Artblog. I had worked for days to present myself and my art in a live art Magazine to you.
And of course made a link to Colorful News.

But.
The link did not work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a fool.

So I'll repeat the link to Colorful News: http://www.lonvig.dk/colorful-news.htm
and check it 7 times.
Sorry!

These days the new buzz-words in internet are: RSS, Really Simple Syndication, News Feeds, Aggregator, News Reader, XML etc. etc.
So I even made an RSS.
That link did not work either.
Here it is http://www.lonvig.dk/colorful-news.rss.xml
or to be sure click on .
By adding this RSS news feed to your collection of RSS news feeds - click on XML above - you will be
alerted whenever there are any news in Colorful News. First you must install a News Reader to handle the RSS news feeds. One is dogpile.com another is pluck.com - there are several.

What's going on right now?
8 years ago Teguh Prasetyo Heruwaluyo from Indonesia visited me.
I made an art work for his office and he brought some other of my art works to Jakarta,
where he lives. Now we want to make some heavy marketing in the world's largest
archipelago (another wonderful word, it means: Any sea or broad sheet of water interspersed with many islands).
Here is an article from Colorful News:

Exclusive Selection Indonesia

On 30 August 2004 Teguh Prasetyo Heruwaluyo, Jakarta, Indonesia and director Torben Cornelius, commercial counsellor & coordinator, Denmark visited me in Lille Fejringhus

Shortly after Teguh Prasetyo Heruwaluyo had been picked up in the airport after a long flight from Jakarta we had a meeting in Lille Fejringhus with the purpose to plan a new series of 8 motifs Exclusive Selection Indonesia and other marketing initiatives in Indonesia. Storytelling? Fairy tales?
Indonesia is a huge country, you know Sumatra, Java, Bali, Borneo, New Guinea, Timor etc. There are approximately as many Indonesian as Europeans! In Jakarta there are 15 million inhabitants. In a couple of weeks I have been inspired to do 8 motifs and this website has been innovated to handle Teguh Prasetyo Heruwaluyo's needs as an art dealer. After a fruitful meeting I was informed about all cultural highlights of Indonesia.

And these are the keywords for the work:
1. Mother
Mom and son
Mom and daughter
I love you mom
2. Religion
Jesus in my heart (believe in.....)
You raise me up
The true way
Christ and Good - Muhammad and Allah
3. Motivation
Focus line
Build the destiny for success
To wake up a great dream

My next step is to investigate Indonesia by means of the web, the local county library in Vejle, Library of Århus University - the State Library of Denmark, the Danish Embassy in Jakarta and the Indonesian Embassy in Copenhagen. The next meeting will take place soon - the talks will continue while I make drafts.
