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…

A tribute to Michael Park

From the webpage to Peugeot.com

A serious accident has left the Peugeot Sport team in mourning this Sunday morning during the last leg of the Wales Rally GB. Markko Martin left the route shortly after the start of the second stage of the day and hit a tree on the right hand side of the car, mortally wounding his co-driver Michael Park. Peugeot Sport’s Director, Jean-Pierre Nicolas, with the agreement of Mr. Frederic Saint-Geours, Managing Director of Peugeot, has decided, as a sign of mourning, to withdraw the car of Marcus Gronholm โ€“ Timo Rautiainen.

Peugeot Automobiles and Peugeot Sport would like to express their feeling of extreme sadness and deep emotion to the family of Michael Park, known affectionately as Beef.
