[video:youtube:AkSZNdWZWwY]Did watch part of the movie “USA vs Al-Arian”. It makes me feel very bad, sad and all that realizing what now is considered ok to do after 9/11. Being a muslim, from Palestina and disagreeing with the US Government was all the US Government needed to arrest Al-Arian. I do not care whether or not he has done what he is charged for, considering the evidences they have used to charge him, he is only guilty for …being who he is, and what he is… I do not want it to be like this, everyone is innocent until proven guilty, not the opposite!!

Elin, Johan and Johan had their release concert yesterday at Kampen Bistro. The concert was a success, there where a lot of people, from all the way up north down to Milan.
I figured out how to get the date showing, so now my posts are grouped by date pr. day. And I also found a PHP-script giving me a random background picture on the header. Had to struggle a bit, but by doing it …not entirely by the book… it worked.
You are now able to buy Elin’s record, or more correctly John’s Epic’s record at Platekompaniet…løp og kjøp!! http://www.platekompaniet.no/artist.asp?id=00062782
On Saturday I was supposed to dump a load of firewood when the trailer jumped off the hock as shown on the picture. Luckily the trailer was stopped from flipping backwards of the rig on the tractor.
I kept calm, lowered the trailer and got the real equipment
I once was tricked into registering a profile at Facebook, wondering what this was. Suddenly I got a bunch of requests, and it all ended up with me now disabling the account. I have a profile at LinkedIn, and I do feel I have enough to do maintaining that profile and my own blog. LinkedIn is for professional use, if someone wants to find me on the internet they can just google my name and voila – there is my blog…
I’ve just read the book “Livvakt i helvete”. It is alarming to read about the conditions in the Russian army, how much corruption that takes place there, and most of all it is alarming how high up in the system it all goes. If only half of what is written in the book is true, Russia and its leaders are no better than old Stalin and the rest of that gang. It has inspired me to find out more. The book was more like a crime fiction book than a documentary due to all the terrifying stories, but nevertheless it is an important book that you should spend time reading.

Had to take my car to service today. While driving in my street Haugerudhagan which has a speed limit of 30 kmph a taxi came very close to my rear, and suddenly he passed me. I was driving at 30 kmph so I felt that I had to notify the taxi driver that I did not agree with his action. So I did the only thing I felt was right, used the horn and flipped my finger. The result: He flipped his finger as well while slowing down to about 30, I disagreed since he had been the one breaking the law, not me, so I flipped the finger once again. Then he stopped and got out of the car, a young Pakistani playboy looking driver. He walked towards my car.
“What should I do now” I thought, leaving only one option – I got out as well, ready for some action 🙂 He said “Why do you flipp your finger towards me????”, I responded like the gentleman I am “You broke the speed limit, I felt that I had to notify you about me disagreeing with your action kind sir!”. “I have passengers who are in a hurry!” he replied (still with enough time to stop and yell at me). I replied “I live in this street, I’m tired of cars speeding here” – leaving him with only a “doh!” and then he walked back to the car and speeded away.
So kind sir in taxi A9043 from Christiania Taxi, stop speeding
