A roof over our heads

Yesterday Rolf-Arne and I finally found a place to stay. I've got some better pictures, but for now we're only hooked up to the net from Rolfies computer. Well, we've got a fantastic view over the canal and enough space. The only negative thing is that there's a peculiar smell of cabbage in the starewell. Hm.

Right now - relaxing in our new living room
Stay tuned for some more pictures of le crib

From where I sit

This is my view from where I sit. If you were to put the one in bottom at the far left and the one on top to the far left (and the one in the middle, well, in the middle). I think you will get a rather good fell of what its like - life in the church.





And finally I just need to link to a Wikipedia article about the old and the new dansih grading system. The old 13-scale was a bit complicated, so they came up with a new one that should be easier to understand. It starts at -2 and ends at 12.. Go figure.. Check it out here!

Finally in Amsterdam

So, a few pictures on how we are doing in Amsterdam. Busy, that is why it is not more extensive. And I haven not found the apostrophy-button yet, so that is why this might be a bit strange and formal to read.

Rolf Arne is enjoying our new workplace. There is free chips, drinks, lunch, wine and beer - I like!

Sleeping bag and piles of clothes. This where I lay.

Staying at Annas place. Marit and Arpi together with her in the couch.

Where shall we go for our honeymoon?

Last Sunday, Torhild and I decided that before the day was over, we should have decided on where to go for our honeymoon. We didn't want it to be some ordinary selection process - we wanted it to be random. So watch the film and see if we're going to The Solomon Islands, Guinea Bissau, Japan or perhaps Uganda..

A short film about the KP

A few weeks ago some students from the Danish journalist school, visited Mejlgade 35 and the Kaospilots. They made this little piece about it. And yes, I'm the very inspired guy in a purple/white cap and blue cardigan attending one of the lectures.

Super Bowl means commercials

Last night the Colts beat the Bears and won the Super Bowl. While all of this was going on, big brands filled half times and time-outs with new and anticipated commercials. There are lots of clever and funny ones, and you can check them out here.

Ladies and gentlemen - Lasse Gjertsen!

Last, late night I saw something of the coolest I've seen all year. It's very simple. Not flashy at all, but so very very catchy! It's Lasse Gjertsen and his musical short Hyperactive.


And the great thing is that Lasse ain't no one-hit-wonder. Heres Mister Gjertsens Amateur.


Lasse is 22 and from the small Norwegian coastal town, Larvik.

Well. Thank you Lasse. My next posting will be quite extraordinary. Torhild and I have created a very special process to decide where we'll be going for our honeymoon. We don't know yet where we'll be going, but a pantyhose and Torhild's butt cheeks will play an important role..

Microwaves, heavy heads, hands and robots

What happens when you microwave eggs, deodorant or Christmas lights? If you're curious, The Micromaniacs can show you the answers.

And then some good commercials.

National Geographics.


VolksWagon.


And in case you haven't checked out Hondas new robot Asimo yet..


To really check out what this robot is capable of, check out this presentation.

Delicious breakfast and a cool commercial


Ahh.. this is the way to start the day. After having slept as long as we wanted to, Torhild and I decided to treat ourselves with a nice breakfast. When Emmery's was full we walked over to Under Engle which is a really nice ecological place.

Torhild had a sandwich with avocado, brie, olive paste, salad and tapas. I had a delicious soup with cream, white wine, some goat cheese'ish thing and lots of different spices. I had some hot toddy and a whiskey. Just beautiful.

I also bought a new notebook and started scribbling in it right away. I love Ordning och reda.

When the last spoon of soup was gone, Torhild wanted to find the perfect Brownie. We didn't really find the perfect one, but we found a couple of good ones.

And then the cool commercial. It's a Quicksilver commercial by Saatchi in Copenhagen. Dynamite surfing in the Danish capital.

The TED phenomenom

These days it seems as if everyone is suddenly talking about The TED Conference and TEDTalks. I've certainly had a lot of pleasure watching the inspirational lectures, but if you haven't seen the light yet, this CBS story might give you an insight and get you hooked.

And if you just want fun. Comedy Central bringing you the fabulous Colbert Report amongst other shows, has a fantastic site called Motherload where you can see tons of great comedy.
