SC Langnau and SC Bern, the two hockey teams based in Bern, Switzerland, broke the European attendance record for one game yesterday when over 30 000 people (30 076) witnessed their derby at the Stade de Suisse stadium.

Planning on going solo
Why is it that few artists remain as successful on their solo careers as when they’re in a band? The first ones that come to mind are The Beatles. No matter what you think of Imagine, or Got My Mind Set On You, or anything by the Wings, I think we can agree that the Beatles was greater than the sum of their parts.

Inspired by the previous post, I bought a newspaper yesterday, and walked into the Coffeehouse By George at Odenplan, got myself a cappuccino, and sat down to read the paper.
Seven rules for reading the paper
Got this link from a friend of mine today. Excellent piece (by Garrison Keillor), and an idea I can subscribe to.

That’s the sound of da police
Drove down to my local sushi bar a couple of blocks away and… well, it was raining and it's closer to 700 meters to the place and… anyway, I drove down, and saw a police car with the sirens on coming towards me. It's not something we see every day around here, so I got kind of curious.

”I quit.”I’ve told my friends just that past months. I quit hockey. I just don’t have the energy or the commitment anymore. Hockey just doesn’t seem to do it for me like it used to.
The power of few
I have quite a few feeds in my FeedDemon but often I just read the blog entries and skip the comments. The other day, I did visit Malcolm Gladwell’s site because he posed a question about Enron there, and I wanted to see if somebody had answered him.

Here’s another story from about a year ago.
Business is a contact sport
Major sporting events attract billions of people around the world. Major sponsors are lining up to be affiliated with the Olympics, the World Cup, and different world championships in different sports to grab the loyal fan’s attention. And loyalty. And money.
Business and major sporting events have always gone hand in hand. For example, Coca-Cola has supported the Olympics since 1928 and it recently extended its Olympic sponsorship through 2020. The Olympic Games will be the staging ground for a host of new Coca-Cola products in the future as in the past.
