Here I try to share some of the tools that I have picked up over the years that.

On reading and Amazon
I love to read.I read a lot. I can’t be bothered with the local literature. Everyone knows no goodbook will ever come or has ever come from Norway. I also have already filled up the closet that is known as my apartmentwith dead tree scrolls so I am forced to use e-readers now. So being […]
On TVs, cars and vegans
Back when I was living in the US we had a sort of joke that goes: “How do you know if someone is a vegan?Oh they will tell you”. Since moving to Norway I have met far fewer vegetarians and veganswhich is a little sad. I have always felt a voice inside me encouraging me […]
On Open offices and hot desking
https://www.wsj.com/articles/ceos-want-their-offices-back-1495445400 WTF, Small hint to the executives. The employees want their offices back too.

by Douglas E. Richards This was a book with an interesting premise. What if someone could sense the future, but be unaware of it. Could they be helped to develop it? Aliens visiting Earth seem to think so and they have searched for the right candidate for a long long time. I won’t give away too […]
The Chemist
by Stephenie Meyer I have no idea how or why I bought this book and I really wish I had not. I would like if I read the same book as Charles Finch of USA Today who gave it a glowing endorsement. I find it hard to believe we read the same text. There is […]
The Fanatic
This was an unexpected gem. The script is not particularly surprising. You know where the film is going from the start. What makes this movie shine is how John Travolta delivered one of his best acting jobs ever. He really went all out for this role and it carries the entire movie. The rest of […]
