"I once swapped the dental floss container of my girlfriend with my version I had prepared in advance (it helped that she was studying to become a dentist and that I knew she always had dental floss in her toilet bag when she came to visit me): * I bought dental floss of the same brand, * carefully opened it, * removed the thread inside, * wrote a long, personal letter, * cut it in long small pieces, * taped those pieces together to form a long paper string, * roled it up and * placed it inside the dental floss container. * [picture of the result](http://www.flickr.com/photos...) I can positively say she was very pleasantly surprised :)" - Jeroen Van Goey

Mark Twain once said that a classic novel is one that many people want to have read, but few want to take the time to actually read. The same could be said of "classic" programming books. Periodically over on Stack Overflow (and in many other programming forums) the question comes up about what books are good for programmers to read. The question has been asked and answered several times, in several different ways. The same group of books always seems to rise to the top, so it's worth it to take a look at these books to see what everyone is talking about. - Jeroen Van Goey

“En vill mann” er tittel på prosjektet som starter 1 august 2009. I ett helt år skal jeg forsøke å overleve under åpen himmel og kun leve av det jeg skyter eller fisker eller måtte finne av andre spiselige ting i naturen. Utsyrt med sovepose, børse, fiskestang og nødvendig turustyr må jeg greie meg gjennom alle årstider og skal jeg ha tak over hodet må jeg bygge det selv i form av gapahuker, gammer eller lignende. Bladet Villmarksliv skal følge prosjektet gjennom hele året og de skal publisere en sak hver måned det året jeg er ute. Jeg har skrevet bokavtale med Cappelen Damm A/S og boken skal skrives underveis og være klar for lansering like etter at jeg er ferdig, august/september 2010 Selv skal jeg lage film fra året ute og den vil være klar i løpet av 2010. I tillegg jobbes det med produksjon av en TV serie fra prosjektet. - Jeroen Van Goey

THE received wisdom about economic life in the Nordic countries is easily summed up: people here are incomparably affluent, with all their needs met by an efficient welfare state. They believe it themselves. Yet the reality - as this Oslo-dwelling American can attest, and as some recent studies confirm - is not quite what it appears. Even as the Scandinavian establishment peddles this dubious line, it serves up a picture of the United States as a nation divided, inequitably, among robber barons and wage slaves, not to mention armies of the homeless and unemployed. It does this to keep people believing that their social welfare system, financed by lofty income taxes, provides far more in the way of economic protections and amenities than the American system. Protections, yes -but some Norwegians might question the part about amenities. - Jeroen Van Goey

"You [write](http://ohthehugemanatee.net/article...): > Now, obviously a word like "Mipppppppppppi" looks a little silly thanks to the ridiculous number of repeating letters. English never has more than two repeating letters in a row (to the best of my knowledge.) There is actually one word in the English language that has 3 letters repeat one after the other. That word is [goddessship](http://thelongestlistofthelong...)." - Jeroen Van Goey

Hvem tjente mest i fjor? Hvem er rikest i Norge? Hvem betalte mest skatt? Det kan du finne ut i skatte-listene. De ble lagt ut på internett onsdag. Skatte-listene viser hva folk tjener i Norge. Og hvor mye det de eier er verdt. Listene viser også hvor mye alle betalte i skatt i fjor. - Jeroen Van Goey

From this, Noakes and his colleagues concluded that A.V. Hill had been right about the automatic brake, but wrong about its location. They postulated the existence of what they called a central governor: a neural system that monitors carbohydrate stores, the levels of glucose and oxygen in the blood, the rates of heat gain and loss, and work rates. The governor’s job is to hold our bodies safely back from the brink of collapse by creating painful sensations that we interpret as unendurable muscle fatigue. Fatigue, the researchers argue, is less an objective event than a subjective emotion — the brain’s clever, self-interested attempt to scare you into stopping. The way past fatigue, then, is to return the favor: to fool the brain by lying to it, distracting it or even provoking it. (That said, mental gamesmanship can never overcome a basic lack of fitness. As Noakes says, the body always holds veto power.) - Jeroen Van Goey
