great expectations, the macApple clan & the MSboys
This has puzzled me for a long time:
We invest emotions into massive companies, because they produce our computing tools.
You have the Apple fans and the – until recently slightly guilty – Microsoft followers. The MS crowd seems to have gained some confidence back recently, and they yell as loud as the macApple clan. Continue reading “great expectations, the macApple clan & the MSboys” »

KISS websites – drowning in drivel
Keep It Simple, Stupid!
Websites. it is everything and nothing. Not everyone needs a website. But by god, how much shite is out there – it is baffling; it begs belief.

night at the (norwegian) museum (of science and technology)
Cleverly, the museum had a night for grown-ups. That likes to play, that likes to build with lego, drink wine, fiddle with physics, gawk at machinery, technology, history, brutal murder, musicians, stand-up’ers, bubbles and chemists. Delightful!

norway, my stupidly beautiful country

Waxing lyrically, this norwegian might go on and on and on and on (and ON) about snow, mountains, deep forests, long rivers, rolling farmland, dramatic coastline, the mad explosion of spring.
