Looking for setlists?
Preparing for the Green Day concert in two weeks, what is better than looking at the set list from their recent concerts? Found this great site, gives me all I need http://www.setlist.fm/search?query=green+day Really like the integration with Youtube, click on the first song and it plays through all songs in the list.

They really love Alexander Rybak in Ålesund, that’s for sure.
Yet another thing we really don’t need
INTRODUCING THE WORLD’S FIRST POWER ASSISTED SUITCASE http://www.liveluggage.com/ In the industrialised world where everyone seems to be getting fatter (www.aftenposten.no/amagasinet/article….) do we really need power assisted suitcases? Don’t think so…
On the other hand, can we power up our Ipod with Gatorade and an onion?

Out eating in Ålesund
Today I did not run, my legs are not used to it, so two times this week is enough. Instead I made sure that I got a table at a good restaurant today. Not that Big Horn Steakhouse was’nt good the previous two days, but I wanted something from the sea today, and you do not go to a steak house to get that. So today I got a table at http://www.xldiner.no/ I first had a fish soup, then Bacalao Tandoori and for dessert I had Creme Brulee (but off course!)
The view from my table
And a bad picture of the dessert, super!
Running some more in Ålesund

Visiting I-H and Atle at Stranda
Yesterday I rented a BMW316 and drove to Stranda to visit Inger Helen and Atle. Nice car to drive, BMW has very, very good driving abilities, BUT – the engine was way, way, way to small. But, in sharp corners, very fun!!
I bought a present for Atle
Teaching WebSphere Portal in Ålesund
This week is being spent in Ålesund teaching WebSphere Portal 6.1 Development. After the work hours was finished I went back to the hotel, changed my clothes and went out running. Had a really nice run past Fjellstua. There are some pretty nice paths up in the city mountain. See large picture
…and a beer at the end.
Not seen to often
