Debating when it’s over

November 29, 2009

The very existence of your future dinner probably has very little to do with what politicians think about global warming.  I’ll explain why.
The magazine The Economist (of which I generally hold a very high opinion) says in a recent article: “The stakes in the global-warming debate, however, could scarcely be higher. Scientific evidence that climate [...]

Last Freeday

November 27, 2009

Please be aware that each person has their own favorite food.

Vertical religion and Quality

Quantity vs Quality! The eternal battle!
Yesterday I mentioned a book by Huston Smith, who seems to be moderately famous but not to me.  He is a scholar of comparative religion or some such, and evidently quite the spiritual offroader himself.  Well, judging from the title of his autobiography, which comes quite late in his life [...]

Picture from Sims 3.
Got a mail today from the new landlord. He has a friend who works in Agder Breiband (Agder is the old Norse name for the south coast of Norway, and Breiband does mean broadband) and this friend had arranged it so that I could get fiberoptic cable in the farmhouse for kr [...]

Thoughts before leaving a house

November 15, 2009
Tags:

Out with the old – this is the house I am soon to leave, in Nodeland.  I am sure there will be pictures of the new if I move in there, hopefully later this year.
In a few weeks, I will have left this house forever.  Hopefully to go live in another, but even then there [...]
