Dagligdags March 29th, 2007

Footage: Kristian Ingebrigtsen For all you guys from Canada, United States, Iceland, Russia and of course Norway. Here’s my compilation of our Hemsedal weekend trip on March 16 to March 18 2007. It was one of my best weekends and the skiing resort was absolutely great as you can see in the video!! I wanna go back! Please let me know what you think about the video, there is a comment link below. You can watch it on YouTube but I recommend you download it here because of the better quality. I am looking forward to seeing you guys again!

Sløve dager i finværet

Paragliding March 27th, 2007

Ja så var jeg ferdig med utdannelsen. Resultatet ble 2 bachelor-grader og en mastergrad fordelt på 6,75 år. Galskap? Har ellers vært og flydd de siste dagene på Østlandet i det fine været. Har vært på Ringerudkollen (tror dette må være mitt favorittsted på Østlandet heretter) og var så heldig å få 20 minutter med termisk skrapehang på Sollfjellstua i Bærum. Nå bærer det nordover til påskekrim, påskeegg, skikjøring og flyging med ny vinge, en high-arc RA, Nova’s nye flaggskip innenfor DHV 2 klassen!!

David Brent og BBC’s The Office

Dagligdags March 2nd, 2007

David Brent fra Wernham Hogg har lenge vært et forbilde og The Office er en av de få TV seriene jeg har kjøpt på DVD. Fant åpningsklippet fra sesong 1, episode 1 på YouTube. Jeg mener at The Office er en av de beste britiske komedieseriene som er blitt laget. Se klippet!

Snapshot of the International Space Station

On March 13, 2008, the International Space Station passed across the field-of-view of Germany's remote sensing satellite, TerraSAR-X, at a distance of 195 kilometers, or 122 miles, and at a relative speed of 34,540 kilometers per hour, or more than 22,000 mph. In contrast to optical cameras, radar does not 'see' surfaces. Instead, it is much more aware of the edges and corners which bounce back the microwave signal it transmits. Smooth surfaces such as those on the station's solar generators or the radiator panels used to dissipate excess heat, unless directly facing the radar antenna, tend to deflect rather than reflect the radar beam, causing these features to appear on the radar image as dark areas. The radar image of the station therefore looks like a dense collection of bright spots from which the outlines of the space station can be clearly identified. The central element on the station, to which all the modules are docked, has a grid structure that presents a multiplicity of reflecting surfaces to the radar beam, making it readily identifiable. This image has a resolution of about one meter (about 39 inches). In other words, objects can be depicted as discrete units--that is, shown separately--provided that they are at least one meter apart. If they are closer together than that, they tend to merge into a single block on a radar image. Since this image was taken, the station has expanded and is more than 90 percent complete, including a full complement of solar arrays. Image Credit: DLR
