Her om dagen kunne ein i Sogn Avis lese denne fascinerande historia om ein stramtluktande foss med misfarga vatn. Grannane vil ikkje spekulere i årsaka, men heller lære seg å leve med stoda slik den er.
Having spent the better part of the evening debating with my good friend Anders A Fitje on the topic of Facebook, I decided to round off the evening posting a small observation on my web page blog. I conducted two searches on the internet, one for ‘i love facebook’ and another for ‘i hate facebook’. […]
I am currently sitting in the very back of a conference room with about 170 attendees. Up front is a good speaker, except for the fact that he uses slides with a ridiculously small font. Why do people write so much anyway? There is no call for all this insane amount of writing on a […]
I have come up a (theoretical) alternative to dieting. It should be fool-proof and builds on the fact that the pleasure of eating is mainly about substance and taste. Once food is swallowed it is purely of nutritional value. The concept would be to intercept the food after it leaves the mouth but before it […]
Back in 1999 my “mobile computing platform” consisted of a Palm Pilot with a grayscale screen and a larger-than-life Nokia mobile phone with an onboard modem. These were communicating via an infrared link. As I was about to go on holiday one summer I found that it was possible to get a camera adapter to […]

You can read more about the Baghdad battery and other world mysteries at http://www.world-mysteries.com. Read a short outtake from the World Mysteries homepage below: In 1936, while excavating ruins of […]
Ein kveld eg var i retteleg godt humør hausten 2006 svara eg mot betre vitande når hustelefonen fasttelefonen min ringde. Det plar eg aldri gjere ettersom all erfaring tilseier at det er seljarar som ringjer. Men denne kvelden braut eg altså med leveregelen min grunna uvanleg ljos sinnsstemning. I den andre enden var det ein […]
During my three trips to Iceland I’ve had an exceptional dinner at Sjávarkjallarinn every time. The name means sea food cellar which is an excellent description of what we’re dealing with. The restaurant is located in a dimly lit cellar in downtown Reykjavik and is fitted with a modern yet comfortable interior design. The food […]
Recommending films is always difficult as I may ultimately be held accountable for wasting two hours out of someones life. Although a risky business, recommendations can tell you something significant about the person who gives the recommendation. Hence, I put a few recommendations up on my blog. Hearts in Atlantis Simon Birch Finding Neverland Million […]
