All women have periods

They sure don't make informational material like they used to.. Very visual and truly amazing how openly you can talk about intimate things when you're explaining it to someone with Downs Syndrome.

Who said Phillipino inmates couldn't dance?

1500 guys from the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center practice dancing to "Thriller" by mister Jackson.

They also do Radio GaGa and some Sister Act routines..

Ken touched this.

Funny commercial for Berlitz Language "Every song tells a story - you'd better get it right"..

Are you a criminal?

I don|t know if you've seen any of the stuff Derren Brown does, but it's pretty cool.

In this short episode he will try and make four people rob a money transport through subliminal suggestioning combined with some other techniques.

Very interesting (and entertaining).

My Bergen arrival and stuff

The Jo is back in town. After the graduation-translocation party party in Århus, Torhild and I had a quick stop in Bergen to drop off some stuff and have a beer before we went to the sea.

'The sea' is my parents summer house in the southern part of Norway (close to Mandal) and our time there was spent relaxing, eating good food, drinking good wine and hiking. The day before we drove to Oslo we also went to the zoo in Kristiansand where Julies (T11-Julie) cousin works. She showed us around the park, catched an intruding snake and we got to play with a King Python and a big, lizzard'ish thing with a blue tongue.

Oslo followed and was really nice. We met up with the priest who will wed Torhild and me on August 11th (did your priest smuggle money to Desmond Tutu during the Apartheid?), celebrated Hansas (Linns Hansa) 30th birthday, closed down my final project at the KP together with Rolf Arne (T11-Rolf-Arne. Wait there is only one Rolf Arne in the whole world) and met up with friends.

And now I'm back in Bergen to find out what I want to do with my life. This process involves a nice mixture of focused talks and free-your-mind-activities.

Pictures of my recent adventures will follow in a coming post. Now to some more random stuff.

1) Here are some pretty cool new Transformers T-shirts.

2) I just saw the video of Elton John singing in Dianas funeral. I never before noticed the impressive eye-brow-action he's got going on.. Special for the occasion? Is it chronic tear surpressing syndrome?


3) "I know a little german.."

Google Maps Street View

I love this new google.maps-application. It's still a bit useless if you're not going to New York or one of the few other cities that have been added, but I thought it was great to take a virtual walk in my old San Francisco neighborhoods.

Try it with a decent connection and love it.

Speak - Sometimes people make a war

Wow. I can't get this song out of my head since i heard it a couple of weeks ago.

business - check

A Kaospilot indeed

I've finished my final written and oral exam at the KP and the only thing left before take-off is evaluation and the finishing ceremony on the 15th of June.

Cover of my final exam report on our project Innovation Battle

I wrote a little post on the last days at school on our friend-blog, den ytre sirkel. It's in Norwegian, but there's pictures if you don't get the language.

Photoshoot and cinematic experience

Rolf and I have delivered our written exam or project report and the 21st we're having our oral exam in Århus. We're leaving Amsterdam the 15th to celebrate May 17th in Bergen and Oslo.

These days we're preparing for our oral and trying to secure financing so that we can keep working on our project after we've finished the pilots. As a part of this we had a little photo shoot with Marit, Marit, Anna, Morten and Guro. Here are some excerpts.


Today Anna, Marit and I decided to go to the cinema. The film was Spiderman 3 - good stuff, highlight being the very nice and corny session in the middle where Peter Parker becomes cool. But the absolutely best part of the experience was the cinema itself. The Tushinski was built in 1921 and is pure Art Deco.

I want Weng as my wingman

My good friend Pouria sent this link to me on facebook and it's simply too precious not to share.

What a smooth little operator.

Queens day and wonderful visit

Canal stroll right by our favorite record shop

Thursday, Gaute and Lars came to visit. We walked the streets, admired the canals, shopped for clothes and vinyl and partied like it was ninteen freakin ninety nine. Just wonderful.
Card night

Morten and Rolf dancing while Lars is rocking the drums in the basement of some random artists fantastic apartment.

Due to some bad planning, communication and emergencies, both Gaute and Lars left before Monday which was Queens day. This is the day where all Dutch people dress up in orange, jump in their boats, drink all their booze, play all their techno music and are allowed to sell all their stuff on the street. Very Dutch, very crazy and one day per twelve months is plenty.
Yes, there is a canal there somewhere.
