5 DAY Live TV Marathon – Norwegians and Norway
Norwegians love Norway, there is no doubt about it. When people brag about their home countries it’s always the soccer team, the women, the wine/food and the scenery. In Norway it’s the scenery first, said in such a way as to invoke the fear of God. God made this beautiful country, and then he put […]
It's a bona fide crisis… Norway is down!
Norway’s largest telco and ISP Telenor has been down country-wide since 1 pm today, effectively shutting off Internet customers — as well as 2G and 3G networks — i.e. me. There are 2 tele-networks in Norway: Telenor and Netcom. The rest of the phone service providers just rent traffic volume from the two, meaning that […]
Jack Tripper Stole My Dog! by Pauly McGuire
Since as long as I can remember (2002-2003 or something) Pauly has been writing on a book called Jack Tripper Stole My Dog!, and yesterday he could finally announce that it’s finally available for purchase! As a writer myself I can only imagine the anguish and pain bound to those leather bindings (paper hardback, really), […]
Happy Belated Towel Day!
You won’t believe it’s not butter and I can’t believe I missed Towel Day this year! I think the reason it completely escaped me is two-fold: a) I did not read slashdot yesterday morning and b) I have yet to transfer recurring events from my old phone to the Nexus S, so there was no […]

Listening to ccmixter & ditto ditto
While writing a couple of thousand lines in XHTML 1.0 STRICT today, I was listening to random tunes from the previously introduced ccmixter service called Dig. There was a lot of great ambient/electro/hip-hop tunes that worked out nice with the tedious work and really turned this day around. From the top of my head Shame […]
Three Versions of Rocket Man
My good friend Pauly, the founding father of Truckin’, author of Lost Vegas and slave of the cannibal goddess tipped me off about Taupin & Elton John’s Rocket Man, in the infamous 1978 version by William Shatner. I don’t know about you but I think it’s better than the original. Here are 3 different versions […]
