When JorgenArnor.com started, a long time ago, it was mainly in Norwegian, and it was mainly for friends and family. Now, however, none of my friends and family bother to visit my site, it's in English and most my visitors are American.
And this has made me realize that JorgenArnor.com perhaps isn't the most practical name of all..

My name is Jørgen Arnor Gårdsø Lom. I tend to go by the name Jim whenever I cross over from my native language. I had to stop using George, ever since George W. Bush became president.
Jørgen Arnor Gårdsø Lom is utterly hard to pronounce in any language, especially English... How would you do it?
The correct answer is (phonetically): Yǝrgen Arnor Gǝrdsǝ Loöm. Not your first guess, eh...
No, so therefore, JorgenArnor.com will from now on be accessible from the new domain twistedintellect.com... It should therefore come as no surprise that the next design† will be codenamed “Twisted Intellect”...
No, this is not because I see myself as an intellectual. I don't. That's the point. I think that the gods planned to make me intellectual - but screwed up somewhere along the line...
† ) Yes, there will be a new design in the near future. “WHAT?! Didn't you read Cameron Moll's article? You cannot redesign now! It's a design sin!”...
Well, yes - I read the article. And I disagreed. I'm a creative person. I like to see new stuff on the web. And I like to make new stuff for the web... Therefore - there will be a JorgenArnor.com v5...

I laughed out loud at the remark about the pronunciation of your name — one of my elementary school teachers was Norwegian herself, and we learned rudimentary Norwegian in her class. It was impossible to get the pronunciations exactly right.
Thank you for the only reading material that made me smile all day. ; )
If you’re on the lookout for smiling material - let me just inform you of the only reading material that made /me/, not only smile, but laugh out loud, and feeling like a total dork afterwards, today…
