To ting som held meg attende
Written by
Ettersom eg er tiltakslaus gjennomfører eg sjeldan dei brilliante ideane som frå tid til tid sler ned i hovudet mitt. Då eg er bunden av konvensjonar sler eg alt for ofte frå meg å gjere ting som er uvanlege og urimelege men fullt ut moglege! Eg skal skjerpe meg… Eg skal skjerpe meg… Eg skal…

To måtar å tilbakevise ein idé på
Written by
Dersom nokon lanserer ein idé du ikkje likar kan du avvise den med eitt av dei følgjande argumenta: Dette har vore gjort/tenkt/sagt før Dette har ikkje vore gjort/tenkt/sagt før Desse to enkle argumenta dekkar absolutt alt og er difor populære når folk som ikkje har take seg bryet med å setje seg inn i ei…

Open letter to the bastard who stole my camera
Written by
Dear Bastard, You may be surprised to read this letter as we haven’t formally been introduced to oneanother. However, as you know we did meet briefly at Dublin Airport Sunday, 13th of May 2007.

Forklaringa ligg truleg oppstraums
Written by
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.

Google search: 8 470 hates, 543 loves Facebook
Written by
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’.…

Why twelve point Times New Roman isn't always a good idea
Written by
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…

Oppgradering av flysete posthumt!
Written by
Ei kvinne på veg frå Delhi til London døydde under flyturen. Flyselskapet, British Airways, var ikkje budde på denne eventualiteten og visste ikkje anna råd enn å oppgradere henne til businessklasse. Saka lyder slik: The body of a woman in her seventies, who died after the plane left Delhi for Heathrow, was carried by cabin…
