Iskwew

People think I have chosen a strange cyber-nickname. I have used it for many years, and it means something special. It is not a random collection of letters, nor is it a mispelling of Icequeen.

Photos

At times I take a lot of photos, some periods I take few, and some periods I take none. It is a matter of remembering and it is a matter of feeling some need to capture what it is I am experiencing. But it is the best way of documenting life as it unfolds.

Poetry

I started writing poems a few years back, without ever understanding where they came from. They just started leaping out of my fingers onto a piece of paper or into a file.

Writings

I often capture thoughts and opinions on a piece of paper or in a document. Some of the are rather loosly founded, impulsive and not always well thought through. But some I have spent more time and effort on, and they are stored here on the homepage.

Humour

I believe that humour and not least self irony is something you will not survive without. To look at yourself and the world around you with a smile, is an activity I think most people would benefit from increaseing the dosage of.

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”, John Lennon said. That is why documenting our daily life is an important reason for me to start blogging to begin with.

Why it “looks” English in here

when there are so few articles in English. Most of them are, as you can see, in Norwegian. The goal is, however, both to translate the existing material, and to write posts in English on the homepage part of the Iskwew.com domain.

Bittert nederlag med langtidsvirkning

Som i hvert fall de fotballinteresserte fikk med seg, tok ikke Tigerungen det at Stabæk tapte for Vålerenga i Cupfinalen spesielt pent. For å si det mildt.

Change has come to America

I slept on my couch last night, with the tv on. I didn’t want to miss this moment in history. I slept, woke up, watched a bit of TV. At 6 a.m., Oslo time, I was woken up by my 9 year old son, saying: “Mummy, he won!”

Finanskurs for datere XXIII - Finanskrise

De fleste har med sannsynlighet fått med seg at det er finanskrise i den ganske verden. Banker går over ende, aksjemarkedene stuper og rentene stiger til høyder vi ikke har sett siden det akk så mye morsommere 80-tallet.

Det mest verneverdige du har

Tenk deg at du er i en vanskelig situasjon. Det føles godt å sette ord på det. Det føles enda bedre å samtale med noen om det. Du sitter sammen med en god venn, og forteller, får respons, utvikler tanker…

Om tilgivelse og forsoning

I spalten sin i A-magasinet svarer Frode Thuen en leser som stiller spørsmål om tilgivelse. Leserens utgangspunkt er dette: Som en opplest og vedtatt sannhet heter det at en må tilgi for å legge det vonde bak seg og kunne gå videre i livet.

Finanskrisen i lys av noen enkle læresetninger

I tech-delen av NYtimes sto det i dag en interessant artikkel om hvordan investeringsbanker og andre har modellert risiko. Dette er et område som interesserer meg godt over snittet.

Det gylne snitt

Hva det er? Det er tallet Phi (φ). Det er også kalt det Perfekte tall. Dette er matematisk magi, matematisk kunst, er det mange som hevder. Og jeg er så fascinert av tall og dette tallet er så spesielt, at jeg tenderer til å være enig.

First day out for Herkules

Mind you, he was on a leash. For now, until he is a little older, I think that’s best. But it limits him, of course, and is not a solution for a cat in the long run.

Menn er fra Mars. Kvinner er fra Tellus.

Hvem som er fra Venus vet jeg ikke, sannsynligvis noen vesener vi enda ikke vet noe om.

Men are from Mars. Women are from Tellus.

Who’s from Venus, I don’t know, probably some creatures we know very little about as of now.

The household cats

In our house there are two cats.  A kitten named Herkules, born May 19th, 2008 and the famous Miss Italy (Italienerfrøkenen, aka Raptus), born roughly September 1st, 2005.  My first and much loved cat, Pondus, unfortunately died this summer, after…
