GOOGLE DEPENDENT?
Thanks to @oddf, I'm sitting here, listening to NRK P2, where they discuss how Internet changes us, the way we work and the way we think.
On that note, I checked out my Google History, and realized that I use Google quite often and I thought I'd share the statistics with you.
Top 3 searches:
Top 3 searches, web addresses and popular links the past year.
Two of the three top links belong to my project, where I use TeXnicCenter to write my reports, and I work a lot at NTNU Nanolab. PHP is an interest of mine, and will probably stay on top of the list for quite some time :)
I'm pretty happy with the centre column, topped by the English and Norwegian Wikipedia. UbuntuForums.org reaches third thanks to my Radionette Menuett HTPC, running Ubuntu (lots to learn for year long Windows user).
The third column is also related to my HTPC and my project (LaTeX).
Daily and hourly search statistics:
Weekly search statistics
The weekly trend is that I'm quite "search happy" Monday through Thursday, while I do a little less searching during Friday and Saturday.
On the hourly chart, I guess I can say that for the most part, I go to bed before midnight. Further I seem to stop searching around 17-18 (maybe dinnertime), but I start again in the evening).
So what does this tell me?
To be honest, it was a bit scary to see how much I actually use Google. However, I found it quite interesting, and it relates well to my feeling of what I look up on the internet.

WHAT REALLY MOTIVATES US
Another short post, this time with a great video I came across through Remi Allegre on Twitter. It a very neatly made presentation video about what really moticates us at home and in the workplace. It's a talk by Dan Pink at the RSA, and is really worth a look!
17. MAI = BLÅBÆRPAI
Blueberry pie for the Norwegian National Day!
It's time for the Norwegian National day, where we put on our bunads, go in parades and eat ice cream and hot dogs!
The title of this post had to be in Norwegian, since it rimes. (Google it if you have to). I've made my first Blueberry pie, it'll be tasted at the 17th of May breakfast we're having tomorrow morning.
The pie was super easy to make, and hopefully tasty! Thanks to my big sister for supplying me with the recipe!
Happy 17th of May to you all, hurra!
Eyjafjallajökull
I think that's how it's spelled, the name of the Icelandic volcano that has caused problems for European airtraffic the past month. Anyways, I came across a pretty neat time-lapse video of Eyjaf... the volcano. You can see it here or in HD if you click your way to Vimeo.
NEGLSPRETTEN
Yesterday, the first beachvolley tournament of the year was held in Dødens dal (Valley of death), here in Trondheim. The weather was good and plenty of participants were eager to kick-start the season.
I participated with Christoffer from my volleyball team, and we both had a great day, despite some drops of rain in the afternoon. We got through to the quarter finals, but met strong competition against the tournament winners. However, we did win the first set, which proves that we can be quite good when we don't think too much and do everything right!
