But for some reason, it more or less changed overnight after january 20th. I’m not saying that Barack Obama got me my clients back, but something changed on that historic day. Suddenly the phones started ringing again and the emails came ticking in. As I am writing this I’m working on four different projects at once, not knowing where to turn. It’s all good though. It’s kinda nice to be back, allthough I get a bit stressed out every now and then.

There are still a few features left before the site is complete, so don’t worry if it doesn’t behave as expected. It soon will :)

But it’s not that I’m afraid to fit a stereotype. Rather the opposite actually. I wish I could be a bit more like other designers. I wish that I actually cared about the iPhone and Nintendo Wii. And everytime my car brakes down (which it does a lot) I really wish that I was the kind of car enthusiast that would enjoy fixing it myself. But I don’t…

Anyway, here are the 8 facts that you probably don’t know:

1. I read my first book at the age of four
According to my mother I could read words and simple sentences at the age of three and read my first book just after I turned four…

2. I buildt my own Optimus Prime – with Lego
When I was about 11 or 12 my parents wouldn’t let me have action figures or Transformers. So I buildt my own Optimus Prime with Lego, and it could actually transform!

3. I graduated from the Rudolf Steiner School in Bærum
In third grade my parents took me out of public school and sent me to the private Rudolf Steiner School where I completed my education in 1996.

4. I won my international racing debut at Brands Hatch at the age of 17
Apparantly there are three racingdrivers in history that made their international racing debut at Brands hatch – and won. Emerson Fittipaldi, Jodi Scheckter and Fredrik Sørlie.

5. I once had a full page story about me in Norways largest tabloid
After my success at Brands Hatch I got a full page in VG, the largest newspaper in Norway.

6. My final paper in school was about Formula 1
At the Rudolf Steiner School, each student have to choose a subject and write a rather major paper about that subject in their final year. I wrote about Formula 1 and got a B+.

7. I love milk
I drink at least one litre of skimmed milk every day. Way more than I should I suppose, but I am addicted. The worst part about travelling is the absence of proper, Norwegian milk.

8. I love “Beat for Beat”
Watching the Norwegian version of the Irish TV-show “The Lyrics Board” is not exactly the “coolest” thing to do on a friday night, but there’s nothing more relaxing than a nice dinner with my girlfriend, followed by an episode of “Beat for Beat”.
