Ali Vincent: “To think about your life is to create it. You have to take ownership of where you are right now and know where you want to go before you can get there. Keep collecting evidence for your success. You can believe it, and you can be it.”
It was Father’s Day today, uhhh…Father’s Day? Huh, in November?!? Yeah…while most of the world celebrates this day in June, Norway celebrates it on the Second Sunday of November, so today!
Misha got pretty creative (supported by the kindergarten 😉 ) as you can see below, NICE!
Haha, I guess I have to wait some more years for breakfast in bed! 😉
Ugo Betti: “When you want to believe in something, you also have to believe in everything that’s necessary for believing in it.”
A YouTube clip with well over 200 million views, made by two brothers from Norway, and I didn’t know about it?? Have I been living under a rock?!? Well…living yes, under a rock nah; I was enjoying Peru&Bolivia when the clip was released (and went viral on YouTube)…a good enough reason I’d say! 😉
Misha knows the sound and moves of almost all animals, but when he was ask about a fox by (norwegian) friends today, he was silent…and actually everyone was…until we watched the mentioned YouTube clip, a worthy Song of the Day: The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?) by Ylvis, a norwegian comedy duo consisting of brothers Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker.
HI-LA-RI-OUS!!!!
(thx Per&Ingrid!)
Kathleen Norris: “Disconnecting from change does not recapture the past. It loses the future.”
As mentioned a week ago, Steve Kardynal already released Part 4 of this Songs in Real Life series. The first three episodes were fantastic, so let’s enjoy #4! The clip is a good 7 minutes and trust me, you won’t be bored…be ready to ROTF and LYAO! 😉
‘Today you need to smile. You need to smile so big it hurts your cheeks’
Will Rogers: “Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.”
…was a lousy T-shirt 😉 , AND a *fantastic* experience, AND a CD filled with pictures to proof that! Good times on the Death Road! 😉
I am happy that the T-shirt and pictures made it all the way to Norway. I didn’t have time to pick ‘m up in La Paz, as I caught a night-bus to Uyuni only an hour after returning from the Death (Road)…yeah, I did make the most of my time in Bolivia (&Peru)! 😉
Phyllis Mcginley: “A hobby a day keeps the doldrums away.”
My collection of Apple goodies increased; I couldn’t hold of buying the new iPad Air after seeing/holding it at the Apple Store today. 😉 I kinda knew I wouldn’t be able to resist after the release two weeks ago. I actually was waiting for the release since beginning this year, rumours were that an iPad 5 could be released as early as March. That didn’t happen, probably to optimize the design so it could be called iPad Air instead of iPad 5 (or ‘the newest iPad’ 😉 )…super thin and light weighted, fantastic!
The iPad has had quite a development in the past three years, it opened a whole new market and is still unmatched in quality and user experience…
Steve Jobs: “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Ralph Charell: “Avoid the crowd. Do your own thinking independently. Be the chess player, not the chess piece.”
Arthur Rubinstein: “Of course there is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.”
Nothing to add here, it is just fantastic to capture a moment that tells a whole story in one image…it requires talent (or pure luck 😉 )

John Gray: “It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.”
Earlier WiFi related posts on this blog included funny pictures like ‘WiFi antenna or USB port?‘ and ‘Birds and WiFi‘. This one is more serious, and sadly enough true…it would make a great business plan though (or Google X project)!
I love my (free) WiFi, but adore O2 more! 🙂
Aphra Behn: “Variety is the soul of pleasure.”
The 1st of November kicks off a nearly 10 year old tradition called Movember; men growing moustaches to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other men’s health issues. Movember moustaches were first grown in Australia back in 2003 and it seems to increase in popularity year over year (or at least, it gets more MSM-coverage); good to see the term ‘Movember’ and the related health messages for men spreading across the globe.
Below you will find the TED talk by Adam Garone, co-founder of Movember…interesting and funny!
Charles F. Kettering: “Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future.”
It is becoming a great series; Steve Kardynal’s Songs in Real Life; I posted Part 1 and Part 2 earlier and while Part 4 is out, it will have to wait, Part 3 is first. This one is a tad longer, watches like a short film, and…is hilarious once again!! I *love* this concept…
