Today I received the most useless and expensive object I’ve ever bought… My very own lightsaber! :) I am practically a Jedi Knight which is why I need to have my own lightsaber. The saber was mainly ordered as a prop to be used in my Star Wars fanfilm Jedi Refugee, but the added bonus is that it’s really cool and makes a great ornament on my shelf. It’s customfitted to better suit my hands, and also made so that a broomstick can be attached to the hilt so that it’s possible to do some swordfighting with it. Be sure to check out the images of it in my photoalbum.

After months of advertising my wine cooler I finally got it sold. It’s not that I didn’t want it myself, but I simply didn’t have any room for it. If I’d have any room I’d gladly keep it myself.

So I used my car as a stabilizer and my gloves for further adjustment (and protection from the snow. The picture turned out very nice and the NASA sponsored website spaceweather.com put my picture on their front page. Let’s just hope they’ll soon call my up asking me to go to ISS to document some experiments.

I’ve now officially visited the planet Mars… to a certain degree. The NASA Mars Rover named Spirit, which landed on the red planet on January 3, carried a DVD (Actual picture from the surface of Mars!) containing nearly 4 million names collected by NASA in the "Send Your Name to Mars" project. I signed up a long time ago and should therefore have my name on the DVD. This means my name is on Mars, which is pretty cool.
