The season is ending here up north, or ebbing out. Thought to rewind a little bit, post some pics from rides in 2015. Late May that year, after over 32 years of absence, I was “back in the saddle”. Thanks to a friend and fellow rider I “saw the light”, again. The expression might not…read more>>
Rant
Blogging not entirely at a grinding halt…
Though it might look like it. Yes very much so. Been a while since last blogging, the last post. Very busy times, especially the last weeks. No blogging, but the world kept spinning And nothing else came to a grinding halt, surprise! The Earth kept spinning, the sun kept rising (and descending), the moon kept waxing and waning….read more>>
Some rant, pictures from a 2016 MC Adventure (Füssen)
It’s been a while since the last MC related post. Work and life has demanded a lot of time and energy. I’ve been out riding when time and weather allowed escaping. Subsequently there’s been lots of cool MC expeditions during fall. I’ll post some pictures later. In other words, I’ve been fairly two-wheel active, that is, till Wednesday November…read more>>
It’s been ignored, but here we are again….
It, meaning blogging. Life & work life’s been demanding attention, time and energy. Also got a new job this spring, getting into a new mode, new routines, lots of new things to learn and get into, etc etc… well I’m sure this is all familiar. But now I’m back, and plan to publish a few blogs now…read more>>
Polarization of the internet? Well If so, with our blessings
Being a semi-nerd in the mid 50s I’ve been on the internet since the beginning. Well in fact I’ve been on the, or rather sort of a, net since before Internet made its way in Norway. Back in the early’ish days one used Bulletin Board Systems or BBS, I did so in the last half of 80s. To use, and slightly…read more>>
Not a Christmas Carol, but a Christmas story
I started morning of December 24th by getting up much too early and almost immediately, before completely woken up, bravely (or foolishly) hopped on an attempt to repair our well used Moccamaster coffee machine. In retrospect I cannot rule out the possibility that the project would have gone a lot smoother had I done three things prior to start-up; 1)…read more>>
Then it was this about not giving up
… very important. Kids must be taught this at home, as well as in school. In fact, kids should be taught this from kindergarten and up, daily, weekly and monthly. Perseverance and/or persistence can be seen as a quality, or an ability. If you don’t have perseverance to the extent you’d like, well … it can developed. Even the most impatient of…read more>>
A treshhold mile, along a road named Procrastination
I find myself camping there, every once in a while. Somewhere along the road named (or called) Procrastination. That road might, for lack of better examples, occasionally look like this… Come to think of it, the above scenery (or scenario) is a lot more interesting. It’s a problem related to some particular mundane tasks and, regrettably, some (dear)…read more>>
The world might need rocket scientists
… but I am not one of them. Nope, just a someone who might, occasionally, succeed in offering a healthy perspective, whether it’s about life, culture, politics, science, religion, technology, or something else. We’re an army out here, on the web, camping alongside the information super highway, a undefinable group of reasonably smart people, who every so often have something…read more>>
Fiction, reality, and things that quite possibly could be true
We know for a fact, you should not believe everything you read. Whether on a piece of paper, in a newspaper, a magazine, a book or on the net, bluffs, hoaxes, lies and scams lurks about everywhere. Some of the hoaxes are so well thought out and made they can deceive many, at least for a short while….read more>>
