12.20.05Flying 8 hours with a video iPod and a kidTo stay 8 hours in a plane isn't fun for anyone. Especially not for a kid. To stay sane on a direct flight from Oslo to New York you have to bring every possible time killer available. No comparison necessary, the winner was the new iPod with video playback.

12.14.05Electric snowmanI'm still in Florida. What should I say? I can see the power cord. I most definitely have to go back here during the evening and check out what kind of aestetic delight the creators of this snowman manage to get out of it when they combine it with a couple of good watts from the local power plant.
