I had a new lens to night

I'm now a proud owner of an ultra zoom lens for my nikon D70 (that is Nikkor 12-24mm).I couldn't wait to take some pictures. Here is one.
Perhaps not any masterwork but at least a wide angle!

a little joke or perhaps not just a joke

A man goes into a lawyer's office and says, "I heard people have sued the tobacco companies for giving them lung cancer, and McDonald's for making them fat."

The lawyer says, "Yes, that's true."

The man says, "Well, I'm interested in suing too."

The lawyer says, "Okay, McDonald's or a tobacco company?"

The man says, "Neither. I'm suing Budweiser for all the ugly people I've slept with."

I had to go to a meeting outside of Reykjavik today in a place called Heidmork. Well not entirely outside the city rather on the edge of it.

After the meeting I drove around the area and took a walk for some time. The lightning was really wonderful and I took several pictures and this one was among them. I hope someone is enjoying it.

And yes, this photo is supposed to be the photo of the week although there is a couple of weeks since the last one photo of week was posted here.

I'm posting a photo of the week to my icelandic blog so perhaps I should also post it here.

This is great!

This is just too good to be true. I can write what ever I want to since it seems to me that nobody at all is reading this great blog of mine! Well some lonely fellow happen to come here from time to time for some mistake but no one have ever come back again except me the poor little thing the most lonely on the Earth.

I have no idea what to write about that I don’t want anyone to read about. I could write about the weather that is really bad at the moment but I don’t think that can be interesting at all.

Perhaps I have to tell someone about this English blog of mine but if I do that I will have to write something not to stupid.

And yes by the way. Since I did mention my trip to Africa some days ago. It looks like I am going after all. I have to make my decision next Thursday and start to pay for it.

And some more news I can tell. I think I will have another cat at the house tomorrow. My brother is going out of town as usual and I will take the cat he is babysitting. Our mom, the owner of all the cats is on sea and will come home in end of the week.

I hate my neighbours

Someone is still stealing my newspaper. I HATE THEM!

I made it

I went to the gym. As I said before, that gym is a kind of a social place since you can meet so many people there. And unfortunately I met to follows from work. I made the big mistake to run with them so I had to go to the weight lifting with them. I am in much better condition to run than they are but they are both far stronger than I am. The result is that I can hardly lift my arms now. Something have happened to them!

Afterwards I went downtown to try to take some pictures to the after dark challenger on dpchallenge. I'm not sure if the pictures are usable.

But we will see.

I have been thinking

I have had a homepage since mid year 1995. That is almost 10 years now.

I'm thinking if I should change my page. People might get some ideas or I don't know what when reading my stuff on the internet. This blog is still rather anonimous and I plan to have it like that, at least for a while.

I began that thinking when I saw some one found my icelandic blogpage on google searching for my name. And there is no one who have excacly the same name as I have. It is most likely that person was trying to find some work related information about me and it is sometimes a little bit disturbing that my person on the internet is not excactly the same as the person at work.

So. At the momen I'm changing some information about myself on the internet. But I will still be here for a long time.

Next Friday

I'm looking forward.

In the lunch break next Friday I will meet the group that is planning the trip to Africa next year. We expect to go in middle of March and come back in beginning of April. I think there will be arund 10 in the group. We will soon have to decide what we will do and if we are going after all. It will be expencive about 3000 USD I think and we will be there for two and a half week. And yes, the main purpose is to climb Mt Kilimanjaro.

More about that later.

I did try but I did not manage to...

Go to the gym. That is since I couldn't park my car within a kilometer from the statrion since there was also a national football play between Iceland and Sweden. Yes a bad ting. They have 4 goals and we have only 1. We are total losers at the moment playing football although we won the national team from Italy couple of months ago.
