Vårrengjøringen på sykkelen kan enkelt gjøres med ting du finner på kjøkkenet. En bysykkel kan ofte bli i god stand ved at du gir den bittelitt kjærlighet om våren. Du kan gå til innkjøp av masse fancy spesialmiddel men start i kjøkkenskapet. 1. Finn fram zalo, oppvaskbørste, skuresvamp, gammel t-skjorte og et fettløsende middel. Plumbo fettrens er veldig ålreit men mange sitronrensevesker fungerer også. Den gamle oppvaskbørsten er perfekt for sykkel. Den kommer til mellom inni nesten alle kroker. Husk oppvaskhansker! Har du legendariske WD-40 i hus er dette bra alt som må renses på sykkel forøvrig. 2. Kjede og kasset sprayes inn med fettrensmiddel. Bruk en del av tskjorta som fille og gni fram og tilbake på kjedet. Etterspray med fettrens til gørra begynner å løsne. Skal ikke ta lang tid så lenge du har på nok fettrens. Kassetten/tannhjulene får samme behandling. Prøv og før t-skjorta mellom skivene. Akkurat som med tanntråd:-) 3. Bruk oppvaskkost/ skuresvamp over hele ramma. Etter en runde el to med salovann skyller du sykkelen med reint varmt vann og tørker av med ny fille fra gamle t-skjorta. 4. Olje kjedet. Bare en dråpe er nok, per kjedepunkt. Så en dråpe, gjenta 120 ganger. Går ganske fort når du først kommer i gang altså. Du trenger ikke fancy sykkelolje. Symaskinolje sa min far at var best. Bestefar brukte kjedeolja fra motorsage eller 10W30.

Vips så er sykkelen din vakker og nysmurt og klar for en deilig vår.

Timeless wisdom on life from some of the greatest commencement addresses of the past two decades.

Ideen om et sted i Oslo hvor du kan spise og drikke godt fra tidlig morgen til sent på natt, et sted hvor høy faglighet, utmerket service og et brennende engasjement er like naturlig hos alle som jobber der, et sted hvor nettopp du er velkommen - alltid - og et sted hvor sykkelkultur sitter i...

As we invent more species of AI, we will be forced to surrender more of what is supposedly unique about humans. We’ll spend the next decade—indeed, perhaps the next century—in a permanent identity crisis, constantly asking ourselves what humans are for.

For all the minimalism, though, Blue Bottle’s affect somehow comes off as warm and fuzzy. Like Apple, Blue Bottle assumes that the best customer experience is one in which all of the hard decisions have been made—correctly—in advance. To paraphrase Steve Jobs, people don’t know what they want in a cappuccino until you serve it to them.

The 30 second habit

Immediately after every lecture, meeting, or any significant experience, take 30 seconds — no more, no less — to write down the most important points. If youalways do just this, said his grandfather, and even if you only do this, with no other revision, you will be okay.

More of this wisdom over at Medium.

If I have two things or three things or four things or five things, they inform one another. It’s like: I have a dog, and I was just watching a second dog for the holidays while someone is traveling. It’s a little more challenging to have two dogs physically. But the dogs entertain one another. Just like two kids entertain one another. It’s this way with ideas and projects. All the burden is on you and that one thing to generate all those ideas. Where are all those ideas going to come from? If you put another project next to it and another project next to that and even better if none of the projects have anything to do one another, they actually inform the other thing. It actually makes every single one of the ideas stronger and richer as a result.

...That light of super-ness changes us. We no longer want mere presentations, we want the best, greatest, the most extraordinary presenters alive, as in TED. We don't want to watch people playing games, we want to watch the highlights of the highlights, the most amazing moves, catches, runs, shots, and kicks, each one more remarkable and improbable than the other... ...there is an intimacy about watching these extremities on video on our phones while we wait at the dentist. They are now much realer, and they fill our heads. Kevin Kelly - The impropable is the new normal
