Me and Hans Olav envisioned and put together this drink earlier this year. It might look a bit like a Mojito, but it’s not and the taste is also a bit different. While a Mojito is a rather sweet drink, the Summer Surprise is fresher, maybe even a tad bitter because of the Gin. Here’s what you need to try it yourself:
4 cl White Rum
2 cl Gin
Lime
Ice
Schweppes Lemon
Preparation:
1. Fill half the glass with ice, either cubes or crushed ice. Personally, I think ice cubes work better, but it might be because I’ve never tried with proper crushed ice, just slush ice.
2. Cut the lime in four and squeeze the juice from all four pieces. Put two of the pieces in the glass.
3. Mix the Gin and the White Rum in the with the rest.
4. Top with Schweppes Lemon.
5. Add a straw.
6. Profit.
Take off.

As you all know (at least if you have been following my ramblings for a while) I’m a sucker for emergency vehicles. The quickest way for me to turn 6 years old again is a fire truck with blue lights and blaring sirens. Another thing that excites me are helicopters, and the majestic Sea King in particular. The Norwegian Air Force’ No. 330 Squadron flies the British Westland Sea King version and they are just massive.
NRK aired a documentary series about the No. 330 Squadron a few months ago and I watched every episode with great interest. It’s still possible to watch it on NRK’s web site and it comes highly recommended. You can even download high quality versions of each episode here. Continue reading "Take off." →

Nike’s “Write the Future” World Cup 2010 commercial. The best (and perhaps most expensive) commercial ever made? At least it’s brilliant, even I want to watch the World Cup now.

Even though I have nothing to say, I still ramble on. If nothing else to manage to post more entries than the lousy 88 I managed last year.
So, what’s up anyway? Not that much, really. Yesterday night I worked a graveyard shift for the first time since the Tahiti earthquake and I hope I won’t be doing it again for a very long time. Even though last night’s work went surprisingly smooth, I simply loathe working during the night. I blame it on the the five years I had of 24/7 office hours. But at least one good thing came out of last night’s session; the bike ride home in the sunrise at half past four in the morning. It was surprisingly cold, but pleasantly quiet and it smelled like spring. Marvelous. So great, in fact, that I’m considering getting up early a Saturday morning just to have another bike ride like it again.
You might have noticed a subtle change on the site as I’ve added a little button from AddThis to every entry. It allows you to share anything you might find interesting on this site to 260+ other sites, like Facebook and Twitter. Not surprisingly, the one-liners are the most shared page. But then again, about 87% of the page views are the one-liners. The front page only get a measly 4% if the page views. I love you, Google Analytics. Continue reading "Numbers." →

As every spring, I turn to Threadless to cover my t-shirt needs. Yes, it’s more expensive that picking up a three pack at the mall, but it’s more fun to walk around in a Communist Party t-shirt than a plain white one. Continue reading "Hey, May!" →
