Suzanne Petersen wins LPGA

Congratulation’s, the first norwegian winner on the world prestigious tour, LPGA. Ms Petersen won last night a stroke ahead of Karrie Webb. I bow myself in humble appreciation 😉 Good for golf in Scandinavia generally and in Norway especially!

Traveling

Since I started my new job at E-space Communication there has been a lot of traveling, but since it makes some kind of results, it’s not bad. As this time I actually prefer driving when it’s possible, sitting in my car, listening to Der Ring Des Niebelungen or the Norwegian outstanding band Tømmermenn, life’s pretty […]

What ever happend to the swedish goverment

Since the new Swedish government came in position, I expected some new, intriguing ideas on how to reform the Swedish society, or at least, some ideas about the future. What have they done, as far as I know, absolutely nothing. No new ideas, no visions about the future, just some small differences from the former […]

New at work

I have begun at a new place, in Sweden this time, and will tell you more in a short while. So far, the days isn’t long enuff’ to take care of the family and beginning a new career and writing on my blog – but hopefully the time will come shortly! Enjoy spring so far. […]

The massacre at Viginia Tech

Again, an epic killing spree has been committed again, this time in Blacksburg Virginia. A man who methodically shot and killed at least 30 people on the campus of Virginia Tech, and the whole world reel in the wake of the deadliest shooting in U.S. history. So far, there are so many questions but very […]

Fly Nordic – how to handle customers – terrible!

“The objective for FlyNordic is to become the leading lowcost and low fare airline in Northern Europe” they say on their website! How do they handle their customers, well – this example show you how! In February I was standing at Arlanda airport in Stockholm on my way to Oslo, when the flight was canceled […]

Predictions on Major League Baseball

Since everybody is having a lot of ideas of who’s winning who, so here is my idea: AL East: Yankees, AL Central: Twins AL West: Athletics AL Wild Card: Tigers NL East: Mets NL Central: Brewers NL West: Dodgers NL Wild Card: Diamondbacks AL Champion: Twins over Athletics NL Champion: Dodgers over Diamondbacks World Series: […]

INLAND IMPIRE

I know I know, capital letters is shouting – but Mr David Lynch insists to write the title that you. For the ones of you who doesn’t know – INLAND EMPIRE is the new film by my favourite director! And since the reviews is diverted, as always, I’m really looking forward to it. The italian […]

A different kind of monopoly

Last week, Mullsjö Community in Sweden, wanna’ try the idea of outsourcing all public schools, from kindergarten to high schools, to a private company. Of course, this demands a new way of looking at the law which in Sweden makes all communities to have a public school offer. The reason for doing this is regarding […]

And the winter is over

more or less, spring training has started in baseball – and the golf season is coming up! Now that is something I’m looking forward to!

The decline of Marit Bjørgen

Too me, watching her go in the first day of the World Skiing Championships in Sapporo, Japan was in a way a step forward. But, and it’s a big one, I kinda’ have the feeling that she, unfortunately, is done! The worlds best male skier a couple of years ago, Per Olofsson of Sweden, there […]

The best rock’n roll bands ever

I came across some good music recently and I thought, what the heck’, who are the best bands in rock’n roll history. I mean, when even thinking a diagnostic peril as “the 20 best rock bands ever,” one can either cower in anticipation of the monsoon of disagreement sure to come and load the package […]

Dixie Chicks slams the Grammies

The best album of 2006, “Taking the Long Way” – with the brilliant lyrics in “Not ready to make nice” (Most country radio stations have shown little interest in playing the Chicks’ music since March 10, 2003, when Natalie Maines told an audience in London that she was ashamed that President Bush is from Texas) […]

Anna Nicole Smith

I knew it — after having watched the marauding media pirates of cable news cruise the high-seas of Anna Nicole Smith’s death last night, I should have avoided this morning’s newspaper coverage. But, smack-dab on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle was a tribute to Smith with this sub-head: “To many women her […]

President Mbeki and the situation in South Africa

So many years later, when ANC was voted in a a democratic election, there are so many things pointing the wrong way in South Africa. Since President Mbeki came to power, what have he done? Even in yesterdays public address to the nation, he refused to mention the most critical things – the relation with […]

Twin Peaks

At last, the greatest TV-series ever (sorry Simpsons, you are close…) has finally been released on DVD – Twin Peaks Season 2. Absolutely brilliant! I will be back on this matter 🙂

Work at home or work at work, or…

I visited a big conference today and there were all these presentations about the opportunities about working at home, all the possibilities we have about being mobile, recive the information any time, at any place and so forth. In my opinion it’s not a matter of efficiency, it’s all a matter of letting your work […]

About the stam cell proposal and cloning

This discussion which kinda’ reach a peak last week in Norwegian media, and of course, thanks to the proposal from the government, does nothing else than demonstrates our irrational fear of the unknown, not the vagaries of science. To my big surprise, Høyre, as the leading opposition party are very reluctant in this matter and […]

About Nisse Hellberg

Why haven’t Nisse Hellberg, front man of the Swedish rockband Wilmer X, got more recognition for his brilliant lyrics? The one other guy who could match him is the late Jokke Nielsen – two guys who in small words describes the world around them. And they do it brilliantly!
