Escape from boredom

Today I have updated my blog due to some security issues in my old version. The whole process was quite easy, just had to delete my old stuff and replace it with my new stuff.

Elin was quite happy, for the first time she had found a video on the internet that she wanted to show to me 🙂 She had found it here http://www.mortenflaten.com/blogg/221106211058_everybodys_got_something_to_hide.html

I’ve tried using the youtube plugin in my blog http://manual.b2evolution.net/Plugins/youtube_plugin Does seem to have some minor bugs, since I’m not able to get the correct search results – but spanish subtitles does not interfere with the user experience according to my standards 🙂

But after some back and forward, I realized that at least I could past the link to the video manually between the [video:youtube:] tags. So here below is the pure english version provided to you as well.

Came in early, took a taxi together with Terry. Kind a funny incident at the check in. Two women where working there, both employed by North West Airlines, but quite clearly not working on the same team.

• Lady 1 – Please come up to the counter here sir!
• Lady 2 – NO! Please wait by the line sir, it’s full here!!
• Lady 1 – Don’t listen to her, she does things her own way, if she bothers you I will call the manager
• Lady 2 – SIR! It’s full here
• Lady 1 – Don’t listen to her, I will help you sir!

No wonder I was confused! I now have 2 hours until the plane leaves for Detroit, where I will have at the most 46 minutes before my next plane leaves for Amsterdam. Some says it’s enough, some other says…run for your life…time will show.

To see your drama clearly is to be iberated from it

What is “iberated”?? Could it be liberated…

As you might already know I’ve spent the last few days here in Pittsburgh, and to be absolutely correct at IBM in Pittsburgh

Wanted M&M’s today, but guess what happened. It got stuck, so I had to buy another one so the first one could fall down…what a mess, double the doze of M&M’s…

Gary, Gary, Jim and I went out tonight, first we went to a pub and had a beer. I had problems choosing, look at the picture and you will understand why

Then I had to take a picture of this sign on the toilet door where we went to eat. At first I thought it was just for fun, but in fact it was not. If someone was standing there washing their hands, you would risk hurting them if you walked through the door really fast

Then we went to another bar and the four of us had different kind of beers

And even though I’m not in to smoking I had to take a picture of this sign saying “We don’t mind if you Smoke, in fact we Encourage it. Living forever is Vastly Overrated”

After having been to the Church we went to the Penn brewery http://www.pennbrew.com/ to get something to eat. I had the Penn Weizen

And then I had the Penn Pilsner, both beers very good! Both had a distinct taste of smoke…smoked…

Afterwards we went to this other place which I don’t remember the name of, but I had beer from Bell’s Brewery (in a Belhaven glass), it was called “Two hearted Ale” . Really tasty and good, find out more at http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/287/1093/

I might consider joining this Church, The Church Brew Works. The altar is in fact a real brewery, and when we got there some senator was having his campaign there so we got free beer!! Where else in the world would you get that??? Free beer in a church. I guess even D.O.S would consider joining this church?

This morning on my way to get some breakfast I took this picture showing the streets of Pittsburgh

[teaserbreak]

Then, just a minute later this real American truck past me on the street

Almost everything is regulated over here, even at the toilet

But one thing is certain, the Americans know their christmas threes!!!

Currently in Pittsburgh attending a pilot course at IBM for WebSphere Portal 6.0 Development. Pittsburgh is nice, meaning – the part I have seen, being the view from my hotel room and the buildings between here and the IBM building. It is just a five minute walk, so as you might realize, I have not seen anything 🙂

I forgot my camera, so have me excused for not having pictures of better quality 🙂

I do belive that it is the end of the world as we know it. For the time being I’m in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The temprature here is as back home in Norway a lot warmer than what’s normal. Skiing, bye bye!!

Yesterday when flying over Detroit I realized that if I had been president in the U.S for a day I would have done three things

1. Decided that in 15 years over 50% of all cars should run on what we today consider alternative fuel. Meaning electricity, hydrogen or similar.
2. Decided that in 15 years all sources of light as we know them today should have been replaced with for instance led-lightsources. Did you know that about 80-90% of the energy consumed to light up the world is just waste in form of heat?
3. From today, decide that all prices should include all taxes, service charges and that kind a shit. Today when eating breakfast: “it’s 11,95 sir”, meaning 12,50 or so including taxes and service charges…stupid!!!

What is happening to the climate in Norway? Read here (In Norwegian) http://met.no/aktuelt/nyhetsarkiv/2006/noracia.html Global Warming or not, it is getting warmer, and I don’t like it!! I also stumbled across this guy Sigbjørn Grønås http://www.forskning.no/personer/1017927465.33
