I’ve got some days of training ahead of me, developing leadership skills…that always comes in handy, eh? 😉 The location for the training is a hotel with a great view over the Oslo fjord, at least that’s what the brochure says…at the moment it’s foggy and dark so not too much to see. And no swimming since the fjord is frozen! Better to come back in summertime for that and concentrate now on the training! 😉
Today iPhone developer Sahil Lavingia has begun his project of building an iPhone app in one week while the world watches.
He will keep a blog on his progress on OneWeekApp.com with screenshots, timelapse movies, and other notes about his work as he moves forward.
Looking at the popularity of the AppStore with its huge variety of applications (>140,000 already!) for the iPhone / iPod Touch and soon the iPad, this sure seems a 2010 reality show!
The application is called Dayta, “Your weight, your kill-to-death ratio in a first-person shooter, your daily intake of water (eight glasses a day, they say!), or your daily workout which you must… not… missed, again. There are individual apps for all of these things. But why? Think about this: tracking your weight is recording down a single number, daily. So is your kill-to-death ratio. So is your daily intake of water. So is whether or not you go to the gym today (either a 0 or a 1). If you reduce activities down to the numbers that represent them, it’s easy to see that one app can manage them all. Meet Dayta.”

Marianne Williamson: “And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”
The American Museum of Natural History created ‘The Known Universe’, a film that takes you on a journey through space and time, from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space, passing planets, stars and quasars, ‘out’wards to the afterglow of the Big Bang, all represented to scale and in the correct measured locations.
So, let’s buckle up and GO!
All you Facebook addicts out there have probably seen the two latest trends: Doppelgänger and urbandictionary.com.
The Doppelgänger game/trend is when you change your profile picture to someone famous (actor, musician, athlete) you’ve been told you look like. Not for me, I like my SpongeBob Squarepants picture too much! 😉
This weeks other big hit is for you to go to urbandictionary.com, type in your first name, copy and paste this as your status and the first entry for your name under comments. I tried it and this is what came up:
Raymond
“A male that is wanted by every women who has ever seen him. Gets boned very often and has a VERY large penis. He’s extremely good looking and one of the funniest kids in the USA. He has the most gorgeos eyes in the world and has been told on more than one occasion that he should try out for playgirl when he reaches the age of 18. Total playa and pimp. Completely loaded with cash and gives money to all if they ask and are his friend.”
Uhhh….
I arrived home just before midnight, a smooth flight and slippery drive, since snow found its way to Norway again! Ha, and what better thing to do than shoveling snow to clean the area in front of the garage, hmmppfff!
Oh well, the job is done and it’s time to go zzzz, nighty night y’all!
Extreme with ‘More Than Words’…I simply love this song!
Hey, hey, it’s the first day of yet another month! February 2010…damn, time goes lightning fast these days!! At least this is gonna be my lucky month, now that I’ve started it by saying: ‘rabbit, rabbit, white rabbit‘! 😉
