Wikipedia is having another fundraiser. I’m not donating, and this is why.

Oh, and God is a ninja.
Eit par interessante overskrifter, courtesy of VG og Dagbladet. Eg synest spesielt Afghanistan-saken var smakfull.
No actual content, just a list of fun, addicting and/or insane games on the intarweb.
<Hoffa> Ekle Åsmund, legge ut linker til spill på nettet sånn helt uten videre.
Finally, somebody took the trouble to enumerate and rank the various methods for destroying the Earth.
… eller Tide, som dei kallar seg no. Forresten, viss du ikkje er sunnhordlending og/eller ikkje veit at HSDTide har mista ferjegromruta Halhjem-Sandvikvåg til FylkesbaataneFjord1, så kjem ikkje dette til å bety stort for deg.
I alle fall. Eg skulle heim i helga som nett var. Så då lurte eg på om eg kunne ta siste dagtog til Bergen og koma meg til Sandvikvåg same kveld. Tide presenterte følgjande framlegg til reiserute.

Okay, so this is clearly the most brilliant thing I’ve seen so far on Youtube.
So, I’ve been in Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (NY) since Tuesday, learning about computational and comparative genomics. It`s been very interesting. Lots of information-dense lectures and workshops about things I need or will need to work with when I return to Oslo. And the culture shock hasn’t been too bad. Food as expected: Sweet and greasy. But frequently good. Lecturers very good. And the other participants are an interesting bunch, plus the lab itself is a nice place. I have some pictures in my camera, that magical place they seem to never leave.
Ok, I’ll just omg Knutdag. It’s … amusing. I’ll read the lot when I’m not at a seminar supposed to be learning about web services.
Ok, so all planes have a registration number, right? Norwegian planes have LN-xxx, where xxx is a three-char code. For the enjoyment of all those of you corrupted by webcomics such as Little Gamers, the plane that brought me home for Christmas was licensed LN-FAP.
