Warning! If you’re an animal lover, you may not want to keep reading. I zapped by a documentary about animal cruelty yesterday, and I’m stuck with some images on my retina that I’d very much like to get rid of. I don’t want to get too graphic here, but the short part I watched was [...]

Parking ticket
I was fortunate enough to get a 500 NOK parking ticket today. When I got home, I logged in to my internet bank to pay the fine, and was rather surprised to see that they offer an “eInvoice” service that lets you receive your fines directly to your internet bank. I guess it’s a nice [...]

Bugreport
Dear weather, Please fix the bug that causes Tromsø, Norway to receive summer-weather intended for Antarctica. Thanks in advance.

Discussions, discussions
Why can’t we just agree to disagree? Someone:Â I believe in determinism! Me:Â WHAT? How can you not believe that you have control of your own life? Recently we had a long discussion about religion and determinism at work, or at least that’s how the discussion started. The content of the discussion is not really important, so [...]

Stereotypes
Ever seen the gay men on Ricki Lake? Have you ever seen the gay men on Ricki Lake show? I have always considered those guys to be corner-cases who are just acting out their insecurities through lots of make-up and feminine behaviour… Well, yesterday afternoon I went shopping with Marianne, and she dragged me into [...]
