Well as suspected both Russia and Canada have been playing extremly well this far. The games are getting tougher and it is now time for the runners up to start showing their power.
Both the Check Republic and Finland got some boost to their time with new NHL players. Finland were able to get Saku Koivu to come so if you look at names like Teemu Selänne, Saku Koivu and Olli Jokinen there should be some quality on the ice.

Otherwise Finland got some more NHL players and even a couple of AHL players this year. Two players from the swedish ES league and three from the Finish Superleague.

I have been watching all games this far and I have not seen the speed and technique yet that Finland has shown in the past years. Although they won vs Slovakia yesterday is a good start but next week they are meeting both US and Canada which are really going to be interesting for the quarter finals.

Man I love Akismet

Even though my blog is probably one of the smallest in the world I still get my own bit or spam from the spammers out there.

Up to date It has picked up over 10k spam comments which I find quite amazing. I dont think that there is any blogger out there that shouldnt install Akismet to keep your blog clean.

So whats up otherwise? I have been working on the kitchen and tried to keep up with reviews on Rbmods.com

Our latest reivew is a case Nzxt Tempest, you can have a look at it right here

Gas prices!

I just got off the phone with my mother in law and she said they raised the price of gas in Idaho with 20 cents so per gallon you almost pay 4$ USD.

So I got on the computer and logged on to Conoco´s website as they are the cheapest on gas in Sweden. At this moment a gallon of gas cost me 7,78$ USD. And this is low as a few weeks ago it was 8$ USD per gallon. Just a little info for you americans :)

Job Interview

Well this week I had a interview at a electronics store. funny thing was that the pay is actually over 1000$ less per month than when I worked at a warehouse driving a forklift.

I mean come on how can a seller job have less pay, I would not even get bonus for selling more, the pay is just very low to what I am used to.

Anyways I should hear from them next week, in the meanwhile I got craploads of products to review and we are remodelling the kitchen.

Cat facts!

I have to say that EVERY SINGLE fact is right when it comes to our cats.
Especially the one about falling down from places :)

Why does a cat “knead” or “make biscuits”? :
When a kitten is nursing, it typically kneads its paws against its mother, either as a sign of contentment or to encourage the milk flow. When the cat matures, it kneads to show its contentment and pleasure.

Why does your cat push its head against you?
This is called “head butts”. This is a cat’s way of showing affection. Some cats will turn their head, and push it against a human (or another cat).

Why does a cat sometimes wash its fur immediately after being petted?
There are two theories on this behavior. One theory proposes that the cat is getting rid of the human smell. The other is that the cat is furthering the pleasure of his association with you by tasting your scent.

Why does a cat scratch outside the litterbox, instead of inside it?
The cat has probably had several unpleasant experiences of getting his feet soggy or dirty - make sure the litterbox is cleaned out frequently.

Why do some cats put their toys in their water or food dish?
Cats look upon their food area as part of their territory, and that particular area of their territory usually doesn’t change from day to day - so the cats are likely putting their favorite toys away in a “safe” place. Some cats will consistently put away their toys when they’re through playing with them - you might try putting your cat’s toys in a small basket near one of his favorite spots and see if he will put them away on his own.

Why does a cat lick photographs or plastic bags?
It has been speculated that they are tasting the slight “odor” that emanates from these products. They may also enjoy the texture of the items on their tongue.

Why do cats sometimes scratch at windows?
It may be that they are verifying that there is actually a barrier between them and whatever they see outside.

Why does a cat spend so much time grooming?
Besides the obvious purpose of hygiene and the social aspects, grooming helps cats cope with confrontation or embarassment (you may have noticed that if a cat accidentally falls off a chair, the first thing he does is nonchalantly wash himself, as though he intended to get down in the first place.)

Why does a cat suddenly bite or hiss at a person after it’s been petted for a while?
If a person persists in touching a sensitive area (such as the cat’s tail, ears, or belly), the cat might give a gentle nip to as a way of staying “stop.” Too, some cats can tolerate pleasurable stroking only for short periods of time; again, he may communicate “stop it” with a nip or cuff of his paw.

So much to do!

Ahh its spring, we got 10 celsius here and sun. Got the summer tires on the car and noticed the rims have got a beating from something. Also took the time to dust and vacuum inside the card so it looks nice now but while doing this I found a spot of rust, maybe an inch by an inch, guess this will cost me half a fortune to get fixed. If there is something I cannot take on a car its rust.

Anyways the new CMS is coming along on Rbmods, I have also started two more bigger projects coming up, but I have to say converting ALL the old articles to the new database driven system is a hell. Having to correct every single review page link wise takes alot of time.

We have earlier looked at the 8800GT, 8800GTX and even a 3870X2 card from Asus and today we have another card from them on the test bench. We are going to look at the 3850 TOP which is a overclocked version of their 3850 card that is a middle class card that should still be able to perform quite well. Our tests are going to put it vs the 8800GT card so you get an idea of how it will perform.

Took a break!

There is nothing that refreshes the body as much as taking a break from your daily duties. We took of today to a friend of mine that we have not seen for atleast 6 months. In that time his baby has grown to a big boy and we both have gained some weight while he has also been busy creating another little baby that is on its way.

I have to say though that leaving home, driving away from town and chilling out at a friends house really refreshed me, I got my energy back and had loads of inspiration when I came back and started working at the computer again. It is easy to forget the small and easy things like this, discussing topics and just having a laugh really kicks of your body.

We had a awesome time and got some more planned in the near future so we can get out of the same old everyday things we do here at home. Whats my tip of the day? Do the same thing, go to a friends house, contact a old friend that you have not seen or just go somewhere for a shopping spree and enjoy good food.

I have requested to be removed from this companys pressrelease list since they stopped sending me products due to I dont give them enough awards they say :)

They dont respond to either mail or MSN but I still keep getting their pressrelease list over and over again. I sent out a pissed mail to them last night about this issue but I still have not seen a response which I find quite funny, do they expect me to support their company on my site when they wont even respond to my mails or msn messages anymore.

I mean come on there has to be somekind of profesionalism in the business?

Technorati rating.

As most of you know Technorati shows how “popular” your blog is. Their algorithm somehow counts out link popularity etc and gives you a rating. John Chow is down by 45 somwhere I think and Bob Buskirk is around 75k which is very nice.

Personally im over 1 million which sounds good but in this case it is the opposite. So what should I do? Well it is time for me to put a goal to first reach below the 1 million mark and the keep on going step by step. To do this I first have to start posting more often, now that I am unemployed I should find 20 min to actually post every day.

I am also working on a small network of adsense sites that I will keep you posted about how it is going. I just have to motivate myself to keep the blog going as I see I got some visitors coming and I dont want to dissapoint them, atleast I can make them laugh at the stupid things I do :)
