Gulltaggen in Oslo

A couple of brilliant days: Probably the best commuication event in Norwegian history, so I agree with all my Twitterfriends! I’m really looking forward to next year, but I wonder, can they really match this years line-up?

Fun things happens in baseball

Yesterday, in one of the biggest rivaliries in sports, the game between by Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, the centerfielder from Boston Red Sox Jacoby Ellsbury, stole homeplate!
