From a Scroll to a Book

9th May 2007

There is a wonderfully funny video made by Norwegian Television (NRK), about a new book user interacting with medieval technical support.

It’s in Norwegian with sub-titles in both Danish and English.

But go take a look. It must have been hell for early-adopters back in those days of rapid change.

I fell off the chair laughing! It was THAT good! Where do you get these vids?!

jb says: I do believe that one came from YouTube, Eli. But don’t go on there unless you’re prepared to kiss your life goodbye.

Vaguely related to the post above (it’s Norwegian and it’s funny): An English language comedy skit from Norwegian TV spoofing the Danish language.

About Writing:

Plot springs from character . . . I've always sort of believed that these people inside of me - these characters - know who they are and what they're about and what happens, and they need me to help get it down on paper because they don't type. Anne Lamott
