At least that’s what my father told me when I was little. He drove lots of different cars, ruining the family finances in the process. But his word of advice stuck to me, and I’ve finally yielded, and gone and bought meself a car. Not just any car though. It’s a 2007 classic Marchand SEA […]

Two Thousand and Eight in Numbers
Following my my brother’s post a couple of hours ago showing off his stats for 2008, I realized it had been quite a while since I did a roundup of the latest website statistics and followed suit. Here’s my website report for 2008 according to Google Analytics, dnScoop and Webalizer: Site Usage 1st Jan 2008 […]
Uhm.. Hello? Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
It’s that time again! Well, it was that time, and today it’s past again. Christmas, the most ferocious eating competition on the Northern hemisphere. ‘Cause I have been neglecting you lately, the internet, believe me I know. I’ve been working a 120% this fall, and when you get back at two in the morning there’s […]

Link of the day: Dinosaur loose in LA Natural History Museum!
I and the much esteem’d Lady C recently visited the Norwegian museum of Paleontology here in Oslo, but we were thrown out because I kept snarling and showing my teeth to a four year old. They had a real T-Rex display, that is bones of course, but nothing as cool as this! Link of the […]
BushKiller Style Mixtape by Alarmclock-Connection
