Google Watch

So you think Google was only about indexing all the pages on the Internet, think again. I would personally say that Google is about to become the new Microsoft, with even worse consequenses for you and me. Read more at http://www.google-watch.org. I find it very interesting to read about their project of scanning all the books at The University of Michigan library (which by the way has a lot more books than the Norwegian National Library http://www.nb.no. Comments to the contract between the library and Google, and the contract, here http://www.google-watch.org/foia/umfoia.html

Frustration on a sunday morning

Kristin Halvorsen, Sosialistisk Venstreperti…arrghhh!!! And the plug to my antenna is not working ok, so there is a lot of interferrence when I’m trying to listen to NRKp3, I’m hungry, not much in my refrigerator, my legs are hurting after yesterdays Nordmarkstraveren. I must admit that running 5 marathons in one year (still have one left) was a lot harder for my legs than I had expected. I realize that I had not done enough running upfront. I’m in good enough shape, but my muscles are not at all prepared for this. I have had to do a lot more running, slow and very long distances…BUT – I will manage. By the way, do we pay more for 1 liter gasoline compared to 1998, not according to this article http://www.ssb.no/valgaktuelt/arkiv/art-2005-09-05-03.html. Back to SV, average income in Norway is aprox 330.000 NOK, I would ask, are you to be considered as a person with high income if you earn a bit more than 70.000 above average income (according to this article http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=107717), I would like to do a counter-attack. If you earn 260.000, are you then poor? I would suggest they go as high as 500.000…yet another sunday morning…
