Oslo City Map Oslo is the capital of Norway and home to the greatest selection of restaurants in the country. The success and spread of the New Nordic cuisine, combined with chefs gathering inspiration from all over the world, has led to a revolution of the Oslo food scene. Unlike the other Scandinavian capitals, the city is more about affordable and accessible places, and less about fine dining and white …

Early January 2024: the blue stain of the tree-killing fungus is all over the big pine's sapwoodMy wife told me she could feel that big pine hit the ground from our house, maybe 200 yards away. I had had my eye on it as a firewood source for several years, and because I had been more the Grasshopper than the Ant during late 2024, I needed more wood now. And …

As one of the biggest days in my life nears I’ve been thinking a lot about Mom. How I’ll address and remember her, how I’ll honour her in a way that is appropriate to her, which will likely be a joke at her expense, a chink of glasses, and a tear in the corner of my eye.

Back in November, before the whole advent calendar series started, I was looking at Mattel's new Dream Besties. These dolls have an accompanying YouTube show featuring six friends: Malibu, Teresa, Renee, Brooklyn, Daisy, and Ken. However, dolls representing two of the characters (Daisy and Ken) were not released with the very first wave of products, so I didn't have them on hand for

American Cover After working on Sonic Advance 3, Akinori Nishiyama (the director for all three Advance titles) wanted the next handheld Sonic game to contrast from how complicated the series had gotten by the mid 2000s. This involved going back to a simpler style of gameplay focused purely on speedy action, picking up where Sonic Advance 2 had left off and refining it. The end result would be Sonic Rush, …

The temperature crept above zero and the ESNG members came out in force! 10 members, two visiting friends from the West Sussex mob, and a smallish offspring. Our treasurer recovered enough from his cold to attend and collect all that lovely money. I turned up a few minutes late to see everyone already putting up a very large 4×0 layout. Obviously, I’m the lazy one who wants a small circuit! …

When we have the ball, it’s a game and when we don’t, it’s a fight. — Manuel Ugarte Love this quote and why this player is quickly becoming a cult hero.

In the middle of trying to be all digitally and all of that I ended up getting a pack of Index Cards while getting some other stuff at a book store. Just because. I have kind of been doing my own ugmonk-ish thing for a few weeks, as I have in the past. It works surprisingly well to just write down what are the most important 5 things on a …
