Today i received an e-mail from the Microsoft MVP Award program congratulating me with the MVP Award 2010 for Device Application Development.
I am stoked and very happy to receive this award, and it’ll be a great inspiration for me in my continued work for mobility in communities and professionally. As I am the first MVP on Device Application Development in Norway I hope we’ll be able to use this in our effort to make the Windows Phone Developer Community grow even further.
A big thank you goes to former Microsoft Norway Community Manager Rune Grothaug!

From the bag-o-goodies that the 2010 NDC conference agenda provides, it’s been a real challenge to pick sessions.
I hope for post conference video release of all sessions like they did last year. It will certainly bring some piece of mind thinking of all the sessions i’ll miss out on.
I´ve already posted my first day and second day agenda and it´s now time to pick my top selection for the third day. Day three will mostly be filled with the hotshots of software development and agility
9:00 – 10:00: The three laws of TDD with Robert C. Martin Continue Reading

As I´d written earlier; Per Ola and I was invited to participate on the spring 2010 MSDN Live tour of Norway.
We´d been looking forward to this for a while and I must say that we were quite disappointed when we saw the news about the volcano eruption on Iceland and it´s effect on air travel…
Never lost behind a wagon we decided to drive. This is a 6 hour drive from Oslo if you drive smart, if you drive stupid it´s a 14 hour drive… Guess witch one we picked?
