Frode Lia, Thorstein Helstad og Lars Dybwad diskuterer helgens kamper og oddsspill. Denne gangen snakker gutta om avslutningen i Championship og Premier League og Thorstein går gjennom kampene i Eliteserien. 

In this episode of IT Talks, we dive into data security and how to manage sensitive information. Thorstein Buind Nordby and Erik Kaareng-Sunde, two DevOps engineers from our Oslo office, discuss why it's so important to protect sensitive data the right way. They cover why it's crucial to identify what information is sensitive, how to store it securely, and what actions to take if it falls into the wrong hands.  They also highlight the importance of planning ahead—from prevention and maintenance to crisis management. Don't miss this episode if you want a better understanding of data security in today's digital world!

In this episode, things come to a head between the factions of Thorstein the Tumultuous and Ljotolf the godi (quite literally). Listen in and find out what happens as Karl the Red learns about the death of his best friend and the whole valley is thrown into chaos. We're in the heart of the saga now and things are getting real juicy.

With the Big Lacuna now behind us, we embark onto a new adventure in what may or may not be (but probably is) a new saga. Is this the same Thorstein we've come to grow and love? Or is it a different man altogether? In the end, it doesn't matter much because Thorstein shifts into the background as new characters take center stage, like Karl the Red, Gris the Merry, and Klaufi the Mauler. That's a lot of nicknames. But this episode features more than just nicknames. We've got wrestling, murder, intrigue, and runes. That's right, we've got runes!

In this episode, we find ourselves navigating the murky depths of the massive gap in Svarfdæla saga that we call "The Big Lacuna." What happened to Thorstein Thorgnirsson when he left Sweden? Why is he feuding with someone named Ljotolf in Iceland? How did he get to Iceland? Is that even the same Thorstein or is it Thorstein's son or maybe his grandson? And what the hell is happening here!?! But never fear, we successfully steer the Saga Thing ship through the dangerous waters of the Big Lacuna and reach the other side of the saga safely. Along the way, we explore how a lacuna this big happens, what its effects are, and how scholars work to fill the empty space left in the narrative. Good times!

We return to the tale of Thorstein as seeks fame, honor, and a bit of respect from his father. He's already defeated the great Viking known as Ljot the Pale, which is a big feather in his cap. Unfortunately, he lost his brother Thorolf in the battle. Eager to bury his beloved brother in style, Thorstein heads for the shores of Sweden where he'll meet an aging jarl with a problem that only the bravest of men could possibly resolve. This episode features a nice blend of all that good medieval literature has to offer. Along the way, we navigate around a little lacuna at an important moment in the text and then get sucked into the gaping maw of the big lacuna that separates the two parts of this saga. It's a pretty wild ride.

We begin the new year with a saga that has been compared to the works of Shakespeare himself. Not necessarily in a favorable light, but definitely compared. As we hinted in our 10th Anniversary episode, we're jumping into the sagas of Eyjafjörður in Northern Iceland (including Svarfdæla saga, Valla-Ljóts saga, Víga-Glúms saga, and Ljósvetninga saga). Up first is Svarfdæla saga, a surprisingly compelling (but sometimes frustrating) narrative that Jónas Kristjánsson described as "one of the greatest oddities among the sagas of Icelanders" in his book Eddas and Sagas (244). And if that doesn't sell you on it, then how about this fine quote from Fredrik Heinemann from his paper "Svarfdæla saga: The Norwegians and the Swedes," the saga efficiently characterizes minor and major figures with the deft brush strokes of saga writing at its best" (237). We think you'll agree after listening to this episode covering the first six chapters of the saga. In this episode, we meet two brothers called Thorolf and Thorstein. One is a typical saga golden boy, the other is a kolbítr. But if you know your saga tropes, you know that big things are in store for that lazy coal-eater. Along the way, we talk about other brothers we've met in the sagas, the sudden appearance of a castle in the narrative, and one of the more unbelievable candidates for Best Bloodshed we've seen in a while. We also get back to the listener runesack to address a question from our Discord page about Viking weddings. There's all that and more in our first episode of 2024. It's good to be back!

Thorstein and Fenrir are at the Temple of Uppsala in the good old Vikingest of times.  He has come to give sacrifice to the gods of old.  Thor, Freyja and the old man himself, Odin.   At the festival, he shows his people what he is.  He is a Werewolf.  A spirit walker.  To test his strength he is asked to kill a Troll who has been causing trouble further North.  Let's see how that goes for our heroes.

We have taken a break from the heftiness of dealing with hell by going back in time to one of Fenrir's earlier hosts.  We go back using the woo-woo machine to meet Thorstein as he and his family go to Uppsala to give their gifts to the gods.  Wil has another reason to go.  He wants to reveal himself as the wolfman to all.  To allow all to see him and allow all to know that he will be king of them all.   Werewolf the Podcast: https://linktr.ee/WerewolfthePodcastSupport the show by becoming a monthly subscriber: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1797037/supportOr Caffeine us up! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/WerewolfwilThe Werewolf's Story Book.  Link below.https://amzn.to/3eftjPaFacebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/werewolfthepodcast/Twitter thingyhttps://twitter.com/AWerewolfsStoryYoutube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKNSJs6cyQ-zq6QBLisikCwGregory Alexander Sharp: linktr.ee/sempai_gregIl Lupo on Amazon: UK: http://tinyurl.com/lupobookuk US: http://tinyurl.com/lupobookusaAdrian Lopez: http://linktr.ee/alstorytimellcalstorytimellc.comLycaon Bloodlines on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Lycaon-Bloodlines-Adrian-Lopez-ebook/dp/B0CHXDVBBH/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=3H3SXY9XIYT1C&keywords=lycaon+bloodlines&qid=1695669708&sprefix=lycaon+bloodlines%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1Support the show

S2 Episode 23: The Vikings of North America: Eirik the Red's Saga In this episode, Shawn discusses the tale of the Norse discovery and settlement of Greenland, along with the accidental discovery by Leif Erikson of North America, as told in "Eirik the Red's Saga", a source written in the early 1300s ce. Although the story details the lives of the characters of Eirik the Red, his offspring Leif, Thorstein, and Freydis... It more so follows the adventures of Karlsefni and his adventures trying to build a permanent settlement on the New World only to fail in his venture due to the consistent threat of Native Americans. Karlsefni's wife, Gudrid, also plays a big part in this story as she was prophesized to achieve great things, along with her family line that "can be traced" to the Icelandic Bishops in the 13/14th centuries.

In der 51. Folge war Till van Treeck (Professor am Institut für Sozioökonomie der Uni Duisburg-Essen) bei Julia und Martin in der Wirtschaft zu Gast. Sie haben sich darüber unterhalten, warum sich das kapitalistische Wirtschaftssystem in verschiedenen Ländern unterscheidet und welche Auswirkungen die unterschiedlichen Spielarten des Kapitalismus (Varieties of Capitalism) auf die Unternehmensstruktur, Ungleichheit und soziale Mobilität haben. Ihr erfahrt in dieser Folge, was Statuskonsum ist, warum dieser bei steigender Ungleichheit zunimmt und warum vor allem der Statuskonsum der oberen Mittelschicht Klima-schädlich ist. Zudem hat Till uns noch erzählt, inwiefern eine Verkürzung der Arbeitszeit im Gegensatz dazu zum Klimaschutz beitragen kann und wie Arbeitszeit und Statuskonsum mit den Varieties of Capitalism zusammenhängen. Tills Lesetipps: Keynes, John Maynard (1930): "Die ökonomischen Möglichkeiten unserer Enkelkinder" Veblen, Thorstein (1899): "The Theory of the Leisure Class" Bertrand Russel (1935): "Lob des Müßiggangs"

Leadsgenerering og fokuset på MQLs er en utdatert tilnærming til B2B-markedsføring som skaper dårlige resultater og som gjør bedrifter sløser med en stor del av markedsføringsbudsjettet. I denne episoden diskuterer Thorstein hvorfor å sette leads og MQLs skaper mange ineffektiviteter for salgsteamet og resulterer i en dårlig opplevelse for kjøpere.

Scandinavian companies have a high purchasing power, yet, according to Thorstein Nordby, lots of them got stuck in the 2010 inbound marketing playbook:— Create an ebook— Create a landing page — Run ads— Send all the contacts that downloaded the ebook to salesCompanies that do marketing differently there can immediately cut through the noise. Especially, those that prioritize account-based marketing campaigns.In Scandinavia, you have access to the publicly available data like revenue, investments, board members, etc, which simplifies account-list building.While this market seems to be the icing on the cake, it has lots of nuances. These nuances cost lots of money to the new vendors that are entering the market and are not aware about them.I sat down with Thorstein to discuss:- How he lands 70k-150k customers from Scandinavia with account-based marketing programs- How to enter the Scandinavian market without making costly mistakes- How he changes the lead generation mindset of his clients towards revenue marketing.RESOURCES:Thorstein on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorsteinnordby/ Nettly: https://www.nettly.co/

In today's episode, I bring you two segments. I use the first segment to talk about KBRS, what I have built with this radio show and where we are on the charts! I also discuss the growth strategy I have for the show. In the second segment, I was inspired by Thorstein Veblen's Theory of Conspicuous Consumption. Applying thoughtful consideration to what we spend our money on as well as consideration to what other people demand. A rare interesting point, on efficiency, from an anti-capitalist.   Want to keep "Killing Bigger?"   "Call in" to the show with speakpipe.com/killbigger   Check out KillBigger.com   Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!   Please support our generous sponsor: The American Precious Metals Exchange at https://apmex.com   Write Kill Bigger Radio a five-star review if you are an Apple subscriber   Follow KBRS on Twitter: https://twitter.com/killbiggerradio   Join the discussion at https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/kaks-kill-bigger-radio-show.95326/   Consider applying to the Kill Bigger Incubator Program https://www.killbigger.com/the-kill-bigger-incubator/   Finally, please share episodes you like and tell your friends!

In this episode of Saga Thing, John and Andy celebrate the penultimate summary episode…again. Things got out of hand when Andy took over preparations and he made a whole episode out of the story of Egil’s son, Thorstein. Never fear, it’s a great episode all the same. This one will feel more like a family saga than what we’ve had so far in Egil’s Saga. We’ve got property disputes, arguments over who can graze their cattle where, slaves doing bad things in the name of their master, bloodshed, lawsuits, and regional politics. All the things you’ve been missing since we started Egil’s adventures in Norway. We promise you won’t be disappointed with this one. And, we've got a special announcement. Come see Saga Thing Live at the Scandinavian Cultural Center in West Newton, MA on Friday, January 31st at 7pm. John and Andy are uniting live and in person to revisit the subject of The Vikings in the New World. It's free!

In this episode, John and Andy continue to follow the adventures of the increasingly unlikable Bui Andridsson. We begin with a much needed change of scenery as Bui flees Iceland. I turns out that some people still hold a grudge for Bui's slaying of Thorstein. In Norway, Bui meets with a somewhat hostile King Harald Fairhair and his foster-father, King Dofri. Oh, and he happens to be a giant who lives in a mountain. What kind of shenanigans will Bui get up to this time? Will Bui reunite with his beloved Olof? And will he ever reconcile with the powerful family of Thorgrim the goði? And who is the striking young stranger wrestling with Bui at the end of the saga? Find out as we wrap up our summary of Kjalnesinga Saga. Thanks to Matt Smith for sharing his talents. This original drawing shows Bui meeting the imposing, but strangely seductive Frið. As you'll hear, she proves to be a bit more woman than Bui can handle. Matt wrote and illustrated Barbarian Lord, a graphic novel heavily inspired by the Icelandic Sagas.  You can see more of his work here: matt-illustrations.com. Again, if you like what he's doing for Saga Thing, drop him a line and express your appreciation on Twitter, where he's @barbarianlord.

Thorstein Helstad har vært på besøk! Og har fortalt hvor gøy det var å vinne serien med Brann, hvem som brukte lengst tid foran speilet og hvorfor han gikk glipp av noen 17- mai-tog. Det blir også en del om hans tid i Wien, da han ble trent av både Joachim Löw og Christoph Daum, og da han havnet helt ute i kulda i Monaco. Også blir det selvsagt en del om Helstad-trusene, som dessverre fikk et annet navn. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Forfatter, musiker og storyteller Thorstein Thomsen er på besøg for at tale om Wim Wenders' dokumentar Pina (2011). En film om koreografen og direktøren for Tanztheater Wuppertal, der gjorde et stort indtryk på Thorstein, da han så den i biografen. Vi taler om filmens langsommelighed, om de følelser, dansen frembringer, og om Thorsteins oplevelse sammen med sin mor, efter de havde set filmen sammen. Men vi når også helt andre steder hen i afsnittet, der blandt andet tæller en historie om Quentin Tarantino, en oplevelse med Pia Raug samt dokumentaristen Joshua Oppenheimer. Velkommen til Tårekanalen! Musik: Anders Colstrup Hvass & Jonas Wetterslev.  

The land of giants. Jotunheim. The realm of the monstrous "other" from Norse myth. Thorstein grew up being told it was only a legend, and he probably thought as much...until he walked into it. This is the epic saga of Thorstein Mansion-Might, a legendary Viking who is bigger than doors. The creature this time is Dr. Big Bird. He's a big bird who is an ancient world doctor. That sounds impressive until you think that probably anyone alive today is qualified to be an ancient world doctor. --- Sponsors: War Dragons: Check out our awesome team, just search for "TheVolsungs".

For our second episode of Saga Shorts, we've chosen the brilliant "Tale of Thorstein Bull's-leg" (Þorsteins Þáttr uxafóts).  As one of the longer þættir, this one defies categorization. It tells the story of Thorstein Oddnyarson, a child abandoned at birth who grows up to be a hero in the court of King Olaf Tryggvason.  Along the way, he'll find his parents, do battle with the undead, raid the home of a troll family, experience a miracle, almost drown in vomit, and fight a pagan bull.  It's got everything you could want in a saga and more, all wrapped in a nice little Þáttr sized package. For this episode, we used George Clark's translation, "The Tale of Thorstein Bull's-Leg," in The Complete Sagas of Icelanders, Vol. 4, ed. Vidar Hrinsson (Reykjavik: Leifur Eiriksson Publishing, 1997), 340-54. We mention Elizabeth Ashman Rowe's "Þorsteins þáttr uxafóts, Helga þáttr Þórissonar, and the Conversion þættir," Scandinavian Studies 76, no. 4 (2004): 459-74.

Welcome to the first episode of Saga Shorts, a side project of Saga Thing where John and Andy review the þættir of medieval Iceland.  In this episode, we provide a brief introduction to þættir and the difficulties one faces when trying to define the genre.  If you’re not interested in those technical details, just skip ahead to 10:10, where we begin our review of Þorsteins þáttr stangarhöggs (The Tale of Thorstein Staff-struck).  This fun little tale tells the story of an old Viking’s son named Thorstein who gets into some trouble with Bjarni Brodd-Helgisson, the local goði, after killing 3 of his farmhands.  Bibliography Harris, Joseph. “Genre and Narrative Structure in Some Íslendinga þættir.” Scandinavian Studies 44 (1972): 1-27.

The Saga of the People of Vopnafjord picks up where The Saga of Thorstein the White left off.  It tells the story of two friends, Brodd-Helgi Thorgilsson and Geitir Lytingsson, and their rise to power.  The two men share everything in the beginning, including a desire to have that which is not theirs.  Their friendship only deepens when Brodd-Helgi marries Geitir's sister, Halla.  Later, their son Bjarni is given to Geitir as foster-son.  Things really couldn't be better between the two leading men of Vopnafjord.  But things fall apart, as they do in these stories, after Brodd-Helgi and Geitir begin to mistrust one another after a plot to rob a hapless Norwegian merchant crumbles.  Their relationship suffers further when Halla becomes ill and Brodd-Helgi wastes no time arranging another marriage for himself, this time to Thorgerd Silver.  The resulting animosity between Geitir and Brodd-Helgi proves too much for the district to bear.  Men from both sides are drawn into the conflict and some even lose their lives.  Though Geitir is reluctant to act as the aggressor, he is finally put on the offensive after some prodding by his thingmen.  What happens next is lost in the great gap left to us in the manuscript.  The saga picks things up again with the next generation from each family trying to pick up the pieces.  Here we find Bjarni, the son of Brodd-Helgi, going head-to-head with Thorkel, Geitir's son.  The two are not only kinsmen, they had also grown up together at Krossavik.  Though Bjarni attempts to make peace with Thorkel, there's little that can be done to assuage the thirst for vengeance.  Will Bjarni succeed in putting an end to this bloody and unfortunate feud? Or will Thorkel continue the cycle of violence and pass it on to the next generation?  There's only one way to find out.   The Stone Armor Defense The above image comes from Hurstwic's recreation of Brodd-Helgi's clever use of a stone slab to protect himself from Svart in chapter 2 of Vápnfirðinga saga.  Read all about this and other creative battle tactics here. For some more on this saga and its background, check out: Chapter 13 of Jesse Byock's Viking Age Iceland - "Friendship, Blood feud, and Power: The Saga of the People of Weapon's Fjord" Alan Berger's "Lawyers in the Old Icelandic Family Sagas: Heroes, Villains, and Authors" in Saga Book XX (1978-79): 70-79 And if you're interested in traveling to Vopnafjord and taking in all the sights yourself, maybe take a gander at a waterfall or two and pause for some fishing, then start here at https://www.visitvopnafjordur.com/en   Music Credits: Intro Music - "Prelude and Action" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Episode Summary - "Clash Defiant" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Outro Music - "Stormfront" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Selections from music by Kevin MacLeod licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/    

  Still full from the epic meal of Njal's Saga, John and Andy turn to lighter fare.  In this episode of Saga Thing, we follow Thorstein the White as he grows older and older and older.  Along the way, he has some children and loses his beloved wife.  To make matters worse, he also loses his eyesight, which makes running the farm a bit more difficult.  Fortunately, his son Thorgils is there to pick up the slack...until he's killed in a local disagreement between Thorstein the Fair and his rival Einar.  How will Thorstein the White get on without his trusted son?  Who will raise little Brodd-Helgi Thorgilsson?  And whose saga is this anyway?  Listeners will find a lot more here about Thorstein the Fair and Einar than they will Thorstein the White.  Nevertheless, join us as Saga Thing takes on The Saga of Thorstein the White!

Vi er tilbake med ny episode i helt nytt studio, med en helt spesiell gjest. Andreas, Anders og Runar ønsker Thorstein Helstad velkommen inn i studio, og vi snakker om alt fra 5.div-fotball, hans forhold til Leeds i dag, hvordan han neeesten ble Leeds-spiller i 2000, og hvorfor Bruce Grobbelaar hadde det moro på hans bekostning i hine hårde dager. Ellers snakker vi selvfølgelig om kampene som har gått, og de som kommer, FA-cupens betydning, og transfervinduet som nå er lukket. Koselig blir det.

Our even numbered episodes are all about folk and fairy tales. This is The Tale of Thorstein from Iceland. I do not know when it is from. It has been difficult to find information on this one. This tale may take inspiration from the Vatnsdaela saga, in which a young Thorstein is shamed by his father to into doing an epic deed. And so he hides in a giants house and then kills the giant. But that is just my guess! It may have no relation except for those surface commonalities, that can be found in other stories of Iceland, and it just happened to be a Thorstein in there. Our recipe this week is Tonjiru. Show notes for this episode are on our website http://www.AcrossTheHedge.com. This episode is 50 minutes long.

In the thrilling conclusion to Grettir’s Saga, we follow the slender armed Thorstein Dromund on his quest to avenge his brother.  Thorstein’s adventures carry him from the shores of Norway to the bustling city of Constantinople, where the exiled King Harald Hardrada leads a rag tag bunch of Scandinavians called the Varangian Guard.  And if you thought the Grettir’s Saga author would pass up the chance to throw in another giant of saga literature, you were sorely mistaken.  Sadly, Harald is only featured in a cameo.  The real story of the Grettir’s Saga epilogue is the love affair of Thorstein and Spes.  Often referred to as the Spésar þáttr (The Tale of Spes “Hope”), the epilogue contrasts the epic ethos of the saga world with the more playful spirit of the continental romances.  If you have ever encountered the famous story of Tristan and Isolde, where the two lovers consistently outwit Isolde’s bumbling husband, King Mark, you’ll feel right at home in the Spésar þáttr.  Join us as we review this deceptively simple epilogue and discuss its potential value for understanding the rest of Grettir’s Saga. Along the way, we make reference to a few items of interest.  First among these are the blog sites featuring Drangey Island.  There are some pretty impressive pictures on these blogs and stories about Drangey: 1.      http://stuckiniceland.com/north/the-outlaws-paradise/ 2.      http://fooface.blogspot.com/2006/07/epic-climb.html And if you want to take our advice and visit Drangey for yourself, tours are available here: http://www.drangey.net/ Interested in the Brother Robert's 13th century Saga of Tristram and Isond?Or perhaps you'd like to start with Béroul’s The Romance of Tristan:And finally, we make reference to one of our favorite scholarly articles on Grettir's Saga, Kathryn Hume's "The Thematic Design of Grettis Saga" from The Journal of English and Germanic Philology 73.4 (1974): 469-86.  It's quite fascinating and worth a read.  Free to everyone with access to JSTOR.

Join us for the second half of the epic tale of the Vatnsdal chieftains and their family over six generations. In this episode, we clumsily attempt to trace the final three generations of this remarkable family.  We’ve crammed a lot into this episode and we barely scratch the surface. We pick up the story with the seven children of Ingimund Thorsteinsson (led by the bickering brothers Thorstein and Jokul) as they seek revenge against their father’s killer and begin a career as luck-favored witch-killers. Along the way, they encounter a particularly impressive villain named Thorolf Sledgehammer and his clowder of ornery cats.  With the district safe from evil-doers, the saga shifts to the next generation. This section begins with the sons of Thorstein Ingimundarson, Ingolf and some other guy.  Ingolf Thorsteinsson is the important one.  He’s the handsome Don Juan of Iceland who melts hearts and enrages menfolk across the north of Iceland. Ingolf may be a bit narcissistic, but he backs up his boasts with impressive feats of derring-do (see picture above, and note the rock strapped to his chest). The final generation is represented by Thorkel Scratcher, who we discussed briefly in Hallfred’s Saga Troublesome-poet.  Despite his humble origins as an illegitimate son abandoned to the elements as an infant, Thorkel Scratcher rises to become one of the great figures of Iceland. But great men often have jealous enemies… This episode is filled to bursting with berserkers, half-giants, demonic pumas, missionaries, witches, outlaws, legendary swords, legendary lovers, and the occasional bloodbath. How does one man with twenty enormous black cats keep the litterbox clean? What are the three tests of a chieftain hero? Can one man singlehandedly take out eighteen bandits if he has big enough stones? Is there room for two berserkers in a single family? And can a Norwegian companion ever survive a saga battle? Listen in and find out! In honor of the many Norwegian companions who have fallen in the name of saga violence, we’ve created a special shirt in our Saga Thing store.  Get one for your own Norwegian companion.

The Saga of the People of Vatnsdal tells the story of one family over 5 generations (though John will insist on counting 6).  We begin with Ketil the Large challenging his son, Thorstein, to find out what's lurking in the woods and killing everybody.  Thorstein turns out to be a very lucky fellow who is soon married to the daughter of a famous earl in Gotland.  Thorstein's son, Ingimund, is the central figure of this episode of Saga Thing.  We follow Ingimund from his noble youth, through his glory days as a Viking, all the way to his eventual death in the Vatnsdalur region of northern Iceland.  Will he go peacefully or will he suffer a violent death?  There's only one way to find out. This episode features giants, witches, and transcendental Laplanders.  We've also got epic battles, or at least references to epic battles, seduction, or at least attempts at seduction, and bloodshed...there's definitely bloodshed.

Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue is a talented warrior-poet torn between his love for Helga the Fair and his quest for fame and fortune in the courts of Northern Europe.  Helga's father, Thorstein, gives him 3 years to travel and make a name for himself before his claim on Helga is forfeit.  Things get complicated when a rival for Helga's hand emerges in Hrafn the Skald, a court poet eager to get the best of Gunnlaug.  Will Gunnlaug win the hand of his fair maiden, or will hearts be broken?  Join us as we discuss one of saga literature's most successful romances, The Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue.  Along the way, you'll learn about this fascinating sub-genre of the Sagas of the Icelanders, the harsh reality behind exposing newborns to the elements, and why a King of Norway would hide in a pigsty.If you like what you hear, pick up a copy of this great volume and enjoyThe Sagas of the Warrior Poets

The iPad 2 is the archetype of proto-obsolescent technology.  It embodies Thorstein Veblen's phrase 'conspicuous consumption.'  Yet there is one company that makes iPad cases built on the bookbinding tradition.  Dodocase, based in San Francisco, provides a reminder to users of new media platforms that skill, care and history must attend any decisions about rapid obsolescence and wasteful consumption.
