Mil and Suz came over for the weekend and brought a rather LARGE box of lego which kept Malia (and the rest of us) busy for hours

At DOGA they were exhibiting this revolutionary new mask for mine clearers. It's surprisingly light. I certainly don't envy that job, no matter how cool the mask looks!!

To the Munch museum on Friday. For anyone heading over to Oslo, it's FREE entry till the 1st of April. Of course they're still at work restoring the 'Scream' that was stolen a few years ago but one of the two pastel versions is hanging. The National Gallery has the other oil version of the Scream (there's two pastel and two oil versions) if you just have to see it.

Then there was some skiing at Tryvann on Saturday.

A stroll in the Botanical Gardens on Sunday.

Better late than never, here's some pics from a white xmas in Morgedal. Personally I think Santa was looking pretty good this year

It looks like our video provider might still have some issues with sound on the 3gp format, but other than that the uploading seems to be working a-ok My favourite subject on the swing, her current favourite outdoor activity:

At the daycare the other day we had a lantarn parade. All the kids made their own lantarns (read: painted some old jars) and we walked around the area with them, hehehe
Here's two pics.

Keeping everyone updated, here are some pics from last week. Malia was trying out a new hat with her grey jacket, but the hat ended up being returned. Some cute pics though

This next one is actually one of her school photos, but we didn't really like it much (had forgotten it was photo day so the outfit was not too smashing - an understatement!). Also, at 20USD, we felt it slightly overpriced

Would all browser developers please get these cool CSS3 animation effects working asap in their browsers? Thank you!

OUCH! It's not often Google gets called out on their terrible customer support, and I don't even know if as the vice president of strategy at Symbian Mr. Forsyth is half aware of how bad it is, but this comment is so true it's not even funny.

The only customer support Google ever gives is related to the areas they make money, ie. Adsense and Adwords. For everyone else there is a never ending stream of clicks and links taking you from one FAQ page to the next to the next to the next .... now seeing as they won't actually be making any money on this 'system', can you guess exactly how good their support is going to be? If you're a serious handset maker, you're definitely not going to be placing all your eggs in this basket!

It's nice to live in the middle of a city and still have such fall goodness all around. This is taken on my mobile, so excuse the terrible quality.
