The doubts have smothered the Tampa Bay Rays all season. From arduous games to demanding tests, the Rays were expected to fade away. Sooner or later, the inspirational Rays would go home. But the Rays are not going home after all. They are going to the World Series. By advancing to the World Series, the […]
It’s amazing, one of the more profiled representatives in the Norwegian congress, Ms Saera Kahn, has decided to resign because of the calling to some fortune tellers, to a cost of approx. 40 000 NOK the last quarter. Since she is representing Arbeiderpartiet and the Government – and since they are doing a lot of […]
Well, what can you expect. Blowing it completely out of porposions regarding money, and then hpoing for a miracle, it shouldn’t happen and it didn’t. Despite I would love to go to the Olympics in Norway again, I think sports in Norway could use the 20 billions in a much better way. There is several […]
I start to wonder, The Belgian government bailed out Dexia bank with more than 9 billion dollars, The Icelandic government bailed out Glitnir with 600 million dollars, a couple of investment banks in the US went into bankruptcy, AIG of course, The Representative House is the US yesterday defeated the 700-billion-dollar emergency rescue for the […]
Reading some articles about advertising in different segments, I stated to wonder why ads in adult publications don’t feature naked people since contextually that would seem appropriate. Reading such a magazine, at least in part, is a goal-oriented activity — you buy a Playboy to look at nude women and skip whatever content doesn’t have […]
According to a report in the Guardian, the former BBC executive Michael Grade, now the Executive Chairman of Britain’s Independent Television, openly attacked Google-owned YouTube at the recent IBC convention in Amsterdam, for stealing and living off the television content created by the UK’s founding commercial network.

Faced with record numbers of refugees seeking asylum in Norway, the government on Wednesday announced moves to make it harder for them to stay in the country.

In the last week, in Dagens Næringsliv has written articles about it. It is estimated that more than 155 million school age children are overweight. This is a global problem and the industry is […]
Here is Politikk og nettsamfunn presentation I held yesterday at INMA about politics and communication on the net. It might doesn’t say too much, and it’s in Norwegian, a lot of pictures, but mail me if you want to know more. I just wish for the forthcoming election here in Norway next year, that the […]
Here is something I read about the Olympics and would like to share with you; The 2008 Beijing Olympics should be the perfect area for social media coverage of the event itself Social media is also being used by many big brands to capitalise upon the Games. The very reasons we identified for social media […]
I’m so fortunate that I have to work with a great bunch of people and some very interesting customers. It’s always fun to use your brain in a creative way and in the forthcoming month of so, I will tell you something about what I and we at Confetti are doing. Something to look forward […]
Ok, this will be my last summer (agurk..) comment, but I feel strongly about it. Torstein Helstad, topscorer in Brann (my team) and the Norwegian Tippeliga, has been sold to France, and almost everybody is furious. Except me, I think it was the absoulte right thing do – the season is anyway lost, Helstad is […]
Just a weekend left, before getting back to work. And I havn’t commented anything despite a lot of things happened this last couple of weeks… Blame it (or rather – it’s summer and vacation) on laziness… but there is a lot of questions who needs an answer during the next couple of months, – will […]
This was some kind of performance, I have been watching baseball for some years, but the unbelivable display that Texas Rangers outfilder John Hamilton did at the Home Run Derby – it’s just wow! Have a look, it’s absolutely amazing! John Hamilton Mashes!

So the calendar says, it’s the last day of June, and I’m stilling waiting for the vacation feeling.. but I’ll guess it will occur in a day or to, it’s always the transition from a lot of work, ’til, in theory, doing nothing who complicates it. Anyway, the vacation starts out with a comment in […]
And it’s not because I have put my money on them (and on Italy, but the failed me….). Playing great football, kinda’ reminds me about the Netherlands in the late 70’s and 80’s – and for me as a football fan when it’s played the right way – it’s just so fun to watch. But, […]
A couple of days filled with political drama, in Sweden the FRA-voting happened, which already could have a major impact! In Norway, the former minister Åslaug Haga resigned because of her health, which in itself I can understand, but in the overall picture, this is a new negative issue for the Norwegian red/green coalition.
Today, at a workshop we held in Confetti, I got actual figures that said that their users/visitors (this is a big quite portal with a huge international brand) visited approx. fifty (yes, 50!!) pages during their sessions. They are reading the site as they read the magazine! If there is anybody who knows something similar […]
