Happy New Years/Manifesto 2009

Before I forget:
Happy new years, everybody! You all rock.
Here's where I spent the New Years Eve weekend:

(I didn't take pictures all the time. But I will post some pics when I get around to it.)

I hope you have a happy, safe and free 2009, and that you will be surrounded with love, success and happiness.

My goals for the new year:

* Redesign the blog.
* Work less, but more efficiently.
* See more of my friends, if they still remember me.
* Work out at least 3x/week.
* Single-handedly create peace in the Middle-East; redesign the current system of international organisations; phase-shift our global economy out of scorched-earth capitalism into a democratic, green, fair economy; cure HIV/AIDS; stop global overpopulation; win the rights listed in the UN Convention of Human Rights for all people, everywhere and bring forth a new culture of mutual tolerance, respect and cultural cooperation in which philosophy, science, literature and all other art forms freely exchange and cross-pollinate across borders.
* Try to cook more creatively.
* Drink more water and less coffee.
* Stay on top of the bills.
* Save money.

What are yours?

Love,
Martin

Echo station 3-T-8. Imperial skiiers on the North Ridge

On Sunday, Ragnfrid and I went skiing with some friends in Nordmarka. I hadn't skiied in about 6 or 7 years. Now we're off on the early morning shuttle to enjoy the arctic weather and fantastic skiing on the ice-covered planet Hoth. Rumour has it they have the internets there, but we'll see if anything gets posted for the next couple of days.

Oh, and the photo collective Magnum has a blog. That goes straight to the feedreader.
