Preparing for winter

I've just stacked 2 x 60 liter bags of firewood and I'm feeling happy.

Video-camera

I just bought a Canon LEGRIA FS200 video-camera, with a Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 16 GB memory card and a Lowepro Apex 100 AW carrying case. Not exactly the most advanced of cameras, but it fits my needs and that is the important bit.

I'm really  looking forward to filming some of my hiking trips and vacations. The camera is light and easy to bring along and the carrying case can be made rainproof by taking out the enclosed covering. All in all quite excellent for my modest film-making needs.

I haven't tested it yet, it's still charging...

Quiz time again...the Steampunk style test...

Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...

The Aristocrat

46% Elegant, 45% Technological, 17% Historical, 36% Adventurous and 43% Playful!

You are the Aristocrat, the embodiment of steampunk elegance and poise. For you, dressing steampunk is first and foremost about simply looking good, with accessories and details to follow. However, this does not mean that you ignore the demands of creating a “steampunk look.” Your outfits weave together a balance between technology and style, and between period accuracy and beautiful anachronism. While your fashion inspiration may come from anywhere across the Victorian social spectrum, you always find a way to make your outfit beautiful. You will probably be found in the clothes of the steam age elite simply because of the greater elegance available to them. Chances are you dress this way because you like it, and you would still dress in this manner even if steampunk was not a popular interest.

Nice autumn weather.

Geocaching

I have just joined geocaching.com. Great fun. Finally I have a new hobby: Treasurehunting! I used the Geocaching application on my iPhone and that took Åshild and me to the cache near PST the Norwegian Police Security Service, In Nydalen. It was a lot of fun searching the area next to the secret police. Suspicious activity is a lot of fun...;-) No harm, no foul! I wonder if there are any caches near the American Embassy?

Here is Åshild signing our names.

Aaaaaahhhhhh! TREASURE!

That was fun, so I went on another treasure hunt today. Found two more caches.

Testing, testing - blogging for the first time via IPhone

A few days ago I bought an iPhone, of which I'm thoroughly satisfied. This is my first attempt at using it for blogging.
