Angel statistics
Now, for a post dedicated to two of my favorite things… Angel and statistics:
I’ve got all my DVDs registered on my computer, and each time I watch a movie or an episode I give it my personal rating on a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being best).
So without further ado I give you the statistics for Joss Whedon’s Angel:
First, the average rating for each season (as you can see season 2 and 4 are both awesome)
Below is a graph of all the episodes rated:

I'm on German TV!
2011-03-30I think I’m in a German TV commercial for Fedcon 2011, a Sci-fi convention I’m going to in a month (It’s going to be awesome) :)
Someone recognized me in the video and was kind enough to send me an email (Thanks to Dietrich, which I met at fedcon 2009, he makes all sorts of really cool replicas) I was almost tempted to steal his Grays sports almanac, but I’m no Biff Tannen so instead I got myself 2 magnets for my kitchen (“Main Fridge”, and “Deep Freeze 9″) :D
And without further ado, here I am at 00:16 with Admiral Adama and Colonel Tigh:
Really looking forward to going to Düsseldorf this easter :)

Happy birthday Buffy!
Buffy Just turned 3, and keeping with tradition that calls for birthday dinner (Beef Tenderloin and cat milk) + fancy hat:

Welcome back beard
Finally, my beard is starting to grow back, so I don’t have to walk around feeling like a beardless freak:
Notice the mustache is gone, replaced by “the Klingon” for the lulz :D

Exponential ferret
2011-03-21Last night one of the ferrets just stood idly on the floor for about half a minute just staring blankly at me. It looked a bit like she was really concentrating, so the first hypothesis to explain this behavior was that she was trying to create a copy of herself through agamogenesis (asexual reproduction). This naturally led to the notion of a ferret able to duplicate itself once every minute, and seeing that playing with exponential growth is always fun, this scenario deserves some illustrations:
0 minutes
A single ferret, just standing there.. Looking right at you.
1 minute
Wow, what the heck? did you see that? that ferret totally just duplicated!
3 minutes
Sweet, 8 ferrets. this is awesome!
5 minutes
Ehm, I love ferrets but 32 is a bit much.. how do you stop this thing?
18 minutes
Help! 268’000 ferrets just filled and breached the entire volume of a ~200 cubic meter apartment!
23 minutes
Neighborhood overrun, time to evacuate.
35 minutes
The blue dot is me, speeding away from the 50 square kilometer sea of ferrets half a meter deep.
48 minutes
Despite speeding like crazy I was just overtaken by a huge wave of ferrets, twice the area of Rhode Island and 30 meters tall.. By now there are 281 trillion ferrets in Norway.
1 hour
The 1 billion billion ferrets now cover all of Scandinavia with a height of the Eiffel tower
1 hour, 15 minutes
Ferrets rule the earth. Covering the entire surface of the planet, filling all the lands and oceans in a huge ferret sea 5 times the height of mount everest. The 37 sextillion ferrets weight as much as 1/3 of the moon.
1 hour, 23 minutes
The ferrets now have the same mass as the earth.
1 hour, 30 minutes
The ferrets now weigh 13’000 times more than our sun, the speed at which they can expand is limited to the speed of light, so the pressure and heat building up is extreme, this makes the huge ball of ferrets shine more powerful than our sun, while a black hole has formed at the center.
2 hours, 23 minutes
Ferrets now weigh the same as our entire galaxy, all of them are still confied to our small solar system and have formed a supermassive black hole.
Earth, the Moon, Venus, Mars, Mercury, the Sun, are gone for sure, Jupiter is just starting to get ripped apart by the ferrets gravity.
3 hours
At 30 times the mass of the observable universe and confined in a tiny place, the laws of physics might breaking down and fusing together again for the first time since the big bang.. It’s safe to say the ferrets have ruined reality as we know it.
Neptune and Pluto are blissfully unaware, but in about two hours the effect of the ferretverse will reach them, and it’s not going to be pretty.

Certified Heathen
The Norwegian Church (yes, we have an official state religion, which sucks) loves to sign up as many as possible as members, if you’ve been baptized you’re in, if you’re parents have been baptized you’re in. And when the was changing to a new central database they used the census data (everyone in Norway) as the starting point. Many people have had to leave the church like 2-3 times. No wonder 81% of all Norwegians are members, even though only 7% of the population goes to church every month.
I’ve never been baptized or had anything to do with the church, but because of their rather creative membership policies, I decided it couldn’t hurt to check:
The letter above is from the Norwegian central registry, listing which faith based organisations I’m a member of: “No information registered”.
In other words I’m now a state certified Heathen! :D
