Wikipedia states that: "In the 1950s, as a war-torn Europe rebuilt itself, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)based in Switzerlandcame up with the idea of an international televised song contest, to be transmitted simultaneously to all countries of the union. This was conceived during a meeting in Monaco in 1955 by Marcel Bezençon, a Swiss working […]

The Real Game – another dream
I had the coolest dream for months last night. As you may have heard, I’ve been testing the Nokia N810 internet tablet for work recently, and of course I couldn’t help but add Duke Nukem 3D to the application list. It takes some getting used to using a stylus for shoot-em-up, but I was surprised […]

More scary pictures from France and Italy!
Friday afternoon after I arrived home I sat down, got good and drunk and finally updated some family-friendly pictures from our trips to Rome (April 2008) and Paris (April 2009). Me and Lady C are birthday neighbours, but instead of pricey gifts we much rather indulge ourselves some great traveling experiences, a gift that keeps […]
Scariest picture of the day: My office
The scariest picture of the day was taken this morning when I opened my office and realized that there wasn’t room for me anymore. Anywhere. To my colleagues I just have to say that I’m so sorry for all the scratches on your new laptop, but that’s what happens when they’re stacked in piles of […]
Link of the day: SpamRadio
I got a spam letter in my electronic & digital post box this morning. Its subject line read: "Five tips for swingers!" But I didn’t click it. I didn’t click it because a) I’m not a swinger and b) I know there be dragons and URLz! Instead I made up my own personal tips for […]
Khat is everywhere in Oslo
Here’s a photo I took this afternoon not a hundred yards from the Police HQ: Some of many Khat eating immigrants in Oslo Yes, I could have done a close-up, but that would just be over the top. Now, I’m one for extended leniency in matters of immigration politics. We’ve got to understand the situation […]
Truckin' May 2009, Vol. 8, Issue 5
It has been a long while since I sent anything over to Pauly that even resembled the whiff of a story. Except for promises. But as the story goes, I am one to keep promises, just not deadlines. To exert even more pressure on myself I am hereby also letting you the reader know that […]
Link of the day: Marchand SEA BLASTER!
As some of you recall, I got a radio-controlled car called Marchand SEA BLASTER very cheap back in January. Back then it was still snowy and cold and I had no opportunity to test it out except for in our living room, until Lady C put her foot down (and I rammed into it). I’ve […]
Kill a Swine, Win a Prize!
Mad cow disease. Bird flu. Swine flu. What’s next? Hamster Hemorrhage? Pony Psoriasis? Panda Cerebral Palsy? Crocodile cough? Adder AIDS? King Crab Cancer? Penguin Prostates? NO! It’s Cave Bear Bronchitis! And guess what, I’m the first person in the world to survive it! I’m also the first person in the world who’ve had it. And […]
