Jan Polet, the infamous creator of The Hit Test, uses a great line to close his show these days

‘Think with your heart‘

I really like that one, the world would look a lot better if everyone does this don’t you think?

PS. Unfortunately the domainname is already taken, I would have loved to own it!

thinkwithyourheart.net points to a spiritual site by Lauren C. Gorgo (an Interdimensional Telepath, Author, Spiritual Counselor & Healer, Conscious Creativity Coach, Multidimensional Mentor & Advanced Integrated Energy Practitioner).

thinkwithyourheart.com interestingly enough is password protected?!?

TechCrunch: “Fring is launching an iPhone version of the service…that allows users to access the fring, Skype, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo and AIM services.”

It was to be expected, VoIP meets the iPhone!

I have been using the fring service on my Nokia E65 before, which was pretty good…to have this application on the iPhone could be killer, I’ll test it in the coming days.

I heard this one in Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code #745, it is truly amazing, thanks for sharing dude!

Make sure you are listening to this with your earbuds in, headphones on, or as Adam said; the car will work too with the volume up and your eyes closed!

How’s that for a theater of the mind, eh?

One of the great things of living in Norway is the rich choice of fresh fish (and for an el-cheapo price too ;)).

On today’s menu; ørret (=trout), made in the oven with cherry tomatoes.

As one can see, this fish is family of the salmon…and trust me, it was Yummmm!!!

The mouse in my arm is present for over a month now…the pain and inconvenience almost diminished after the ski vacation two weeks ago, but seriously kicked back in this past week.

I will have to take it easy with the computer and mouse the coming period (again); nice for a computer and internet junky as I am, oof! Anyway, I ordered a joystick-mouse, hope it will help…along with left handed typing.

Andy Rooney: “Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don’t need to be done.”

I checked the rules for importing our second car into Norway. The costs for importing are depending on the value, age, weight, milage, engine size and power…and the calculated amount for this 16 year old, low weight, high milage, low power Honda (worth close to nothing): 14000nok, or 1750 Euro!

Damn, that’s almost three times the price we bought it for three years ago!! Guess we’re gonna get rid of it, since driving it back to NL for the mandatory yearly check ain’t worth the trip as well.

I already knew it, this exercise only confirmed it: importing cars in Norway…Norway!!

Good memories; the time spent in New Zealand one year ago…hey, I was without a job and with the confidence of a great future ahead of me. The amazing New Zealand nature brought me the peace of mind I needed.

The future? Well, so far it all came through! I really love living here in Norway, and there is still heaps of nature to cover…people say Norway is a combination of Canada and New Zealand…brrrring it on!

I’m normally easily bored with a ringtone in general and the default ringtone of any mobile phone in particular. The iPhone is different though; I simply *love* that ringtone, can’t get enough of it…keep on calling!

Yay! Because of my stay in NL last week, I missed the end of the speed limit period (a.k.a. ‘miljøfartsgrense’), which was in effect on the Oslo ring since last year November 1. It boosts the allowed speed up by 33%, a true time-saver in the evening since I normally leave office after the rush hour!

YouTube has grown considerably over the last year. For me this got proven by the fact that its uploaded movieclips have become popular topics to bring up even (or especially?) when you’re offline, drinking a beer in a bar for instance.

It just hit me since so many people pointed me to specific YouTube clips over the past days…it’s amazing, and terrific, am always to explore new material!

Watch the clip below, this is as close to nature as YouTube can get, wow!

Socrates: “Get not your friends by bare compliments, but by giving them sensible tokens of your love.”

Will go to the final of a band competition tonight (Grote Prijs Zuid Holland). The brother of one of my best friends is the drummer of Tokyo-A-GoGo!, one of the bands that made it to the final (and obviously will win it! ;)).

The final of the band competition will be followed by a final in the dance category…guess what? It’ll be party hardy (or, party hearty?) all night long!

Triggered by a good friend I found Americas Got Talent’s beatbox sensation ‘Butterscotch’. Check her out, it’s absolutely amazing what she’s able to pull off…the performance starts from 1:10 in the clip.

Small layout change; I added the icons for the different social networks I’m using in the sidebar under ‘Contact’, they’re linked to my pages, try them!
