Going from Nesodden to Oslo.

the comeback kids

Nr. 17 Kristoffer and the rest of the blue gang in a hard match against red and white roughians:



Today's result: 12-12 (4-8) after a Lazarus-like (Lazarusian?) comeback in the second half.


when in norway...

My new tootbrush with Norwegian lusekofte-pattern.



Norwegian tooth culture is clearly more than just a fluoride tablet a day.


a calculated mistake?

Yesterday morning the paperboy/man/woman didn't deliver DN (Dagens Næringsliv) – a Norwegian tabloid specializing in business reporting. So I called their customer service.

Apparently they didn't have newspapers to all subscribers that morning. It was something with the production....ish. But I was assured I would get the Friday-paper with the Saturday edition the next morning.

This is what I found in the mailbox today:


Two copies of the Saturday edition of Aftenposten – the other daily I subscribe to – and one copy of DN Saturday. Whatever happened to the Friday edition? How hard can it be...? I called them again.

The customer service guy thought it was very strange, because I should have received it. The system told him so. Very strange that I hadn't. Didn't know if I would get a copy (there's no Sunday edition, hence no delivery on Sundays)... So if they weren't able to deliver it later today I would get a refund.

Well, a refund doesn't really make up for the loss of information, does it now?

Methinks this might be a strategy to move people from paper to digital. If they don't come by themsleves we'll simply give the an offer they can't refuse. In tis case; cut the supply.

the still of winter

Still winter. Still cold.


Still waiting for summer.


relaxing in red

Spent some time here today. Had to get away from my desk and clear my head.


A great place to sit and think while listening to music (headphones of course). Waiting for great ideas to appear.


sauron (sort of)

Morning view at the office.


He sees me.


tear you apart

The Temple of telecom this morning: "Is it unfair to tear someone apart...". Inspired by, or a comment to Hellraiser perhaps?


After some research I've found out that the artist's name is Jenny Holzer. The installation is called "Running letters". Read more.
