 Items for the
  non-Norwegian speaking Background I started this web site 25 years ago after travelling in Spain and
  Portugal (see the last item on this page) and went on to use it also for
  marketing a patented system for displaying CDs on the wall (see penultimate
  item).  Both stories ended quickly. For
  many years the site lay without further development and no other use than as
  a storage and reference place for my publications as a researcher in health
  economics.  In the fall of 2023 I started filling the site with all kinds of stuff
  that I have been dealing with during my life, pluss
  – not in the least - data on sun conditions at 400 cafes and bars in Oslo
  with outdoor seating – data that I collected by biking all over the city and
  using a sun estimation app I developed with two friends a few years ago.  Press HERE
  for an example of the outcome and scroll down to photos and diagrams
  combining skylines with sun curves for different times of the year. Press ‘Hjem’ to go back. The site is now a ‘bazaar’ of sorts. Recently (August 2024) it caught
  attention from a couple of local newspapers and the main radio channel for
  Oslo. I am told that it is about to become popular among young people. Great
  fun for me! Below are a few items accessible to people who do not understand
  Norwegian. * Crash course in
  Norwegian pronounciation and grammar Health Economics:
  Explanation of methods and selected publications Books by looks:
  Ultrabrief review of  a selection of paperback novels that I read 20-30 years ago. They may still be good. The B-13 Poem: If 1 and 3 are written closely together,
  an ambiguity arises. Press here and try
  to make sense of the poem. Songs I wrote: The first three on this list
  are in English. See also: In the Early
  Morning Sun (for our place in Spain). Enjoy photos and find the
  song at the bottom of the page.    Wild Horses (for nostalgic runners) New Years Eve: Hallelujah, Turkey to Ya! Press here and go to the last song. Love songs I used
  to like to sing (guitar in hand) CD frames
  (patented system for displaying CDs on the wall) Travels in Spain and Portugal: A guide to inexpensive hotels and their
  best situated rooms, developed 1999-2002. By pressing here
  and clicking on the map, readers without knowledge of Norwegian
  may nonetheless enjoy a journey by photos to 70 places in Spain and a few in
  South-East Portugal.  |
