WHAT REALLY MOTIVATES US
May 17th
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
May 16th
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
May 16th
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!
A WIKI IS BORN
May 9th
Not much happening here these days, not on the blog anyways. Life in general goes as it should. Many hours spent at school trying to get those tiny nanowires to give me a decent result. No luck so far, but we’re still trying!
The day before yesterday I decided to start up my own, personal Wiki – that is a Wikipedia-like page where I can make articles of stuff that I am likely to need at a later point and that (I for sure) will then have forgotten. Mostly, such things are related to programming, but other stuff might as well be added. The Wiki’s name is SamleWiki, or CollectWiki by rough translation.
I was in Turkey for a week, but haven’t had the time, nor energy to upload any images, so I’ll have to postpone that to a later time. Nonetheless, beachvolley season is right around the corner, hopefully already tomorrow!
