David Norheim and his semantic cake

David Norheim is getting one year older on Saturday (2009.03.14), and WWW is twenty today (2009.03.13)

On Saturday 14 March 2009 David Norheim can celebrate another birthday. Today the WWW can celebrate it’s twentieth birthday. One of the creative girls (Terese Liadal) at work created this cake and we felt we just had to share it with all the rest of you out there in cyberspace as well.

David Norheim is one of the leading Semantic Web gurus in Norway and was extremely happy when he got this cake. The cake illustrates one version of the Semantic Web Layer Cake, an illustration that describes the different layers in the architecture stack. There are several versions of this layer cake available online.

subway2 There are a lot of beautiful subway stations all over the world. For a quick example I recommend you to do a quick Google image search on the subway in Moscow. In Oslo they have also used some resources on beautification.

I did not bring my tripod or my SLR camera, but my G9 was put to the test.

Second attempt at HDR – Statues in Asker

three-statues A few weeks ago I attempted to create an HDR-image of some ruins near where I live. That did not turn out very good. This is my second attempt, and this is based on a RAW picture that I took with my G9 in Asker. I felt it had the same balance as the picture of the trees below, and that it might turn out to be quite an interesting picture when both the sky and the statues were visible.

Arty family

art In my family there seem to be some that carries "artsy" genes. Kristofer Leirdal is maybe the best known of these people. During WWII he spent some time with his brother on the family farm, and among else he created a lot of figures in plaster. They were mainly models for bigger statues, some of which he did in stone later on. This is a picture of a window on the farm where some of his plaster figures is put on display.
