Moonlit Easter

Blue Easter moon

This year, I spent Easter with Trine, Bente, Arnljot, Daniel, and Tor at my fathers cabin in Valdres. Although we had a day and a half with snowfall, we found time for cross country skiing in wonderful sunshine, digging and building a fortress (mostly the work of Arnljot), jumping from the roof as well as skijumping. And photographying the moon, which shone brightly every night but one!

My phone wants to be lost

For the past few days, my mobile phone has become independent and stayed behind after I've visited friends. Or, seen in a different perspective, my disliking the Nokia E-65 is becoming unconsciously explicit as I forget to bring the phone with me when I leave.

Mental note to self: Never mind.

Online slideshows with PicLens in Firefox

A colleague just introduced me to the Firefox extension PicLens by Cooliris. The extension let you browse and display online pictures in a neat interface, including integrated search with online pictures like flickr as well as a nice slideshow feature. So, if you don't have it, install it--if you don't have Firefox, install that too...

And enjoy!

Desserts, snowboarding, skiing, and bicycling

35 chocolate dessers in 2008

2008 started with a decision to cook all 35 chocolate desserts in a leaflet I have by the end of the year--in other words, one dessert in every week and a half. I am currently slightly behind schedule, but picking up speed in order to celebrate my birthday with one of my favourites, namely fundue au chocolat. As part of this project, I upload pictures of every dessert on flickr. Click the leaflet to have a look.

Off-piste in Hemsedal

Travelwise, I am keeping an environmental-friendly profile with no flights so far this year, and have traveled in filled up cars and buses on my two trips snowboarding in Hemsedal. Within the city and surrounding areas, I go by metro, bus or train--also for cross country skiing. And since last Sunday, bicycling adds to my current means of transportation, though mostly for excercise until the temperature rise to more relaxing levels.
