On my homepage I am trying to present a glimpse of who I am and what I am preoccupied with. Most of my time I am spending either at work, in the swimming pool, in a movie theater or in front of my computer. Well - as long as I am not doing anything else. A couple of years ago I startet to travel the world and the seven seas. I also bought myself two digital cameras, Canon Powershot G9 and Pentax K20d, hopefully to learn how to be a good photographer. It takes a lot of practice but hopefully I will get there sometime.

On this site I have been gathering some information about me and my interest. This range from what I do in my spare time to the ethics I try to follow in life. I have also published some of my poetry and my experiences on some of my travels. You will also find an introduction to some of the most popular scripting-languages.

My name is Einar. Einar is an old and popular Norse name deeply connected to the einherjar, the fallen warriors living in Valhalla (Mythical home of the Norse Gods); meanings of the name: magnificent, unique warrior, one who fights alone, one man army and/or leader. In Norse religion the einherjar were spirits of warriors who had died bravely in battle. The name is Old Norse for "one-army-ers" (Singular would be einheri and the etymology may be from a Common Germanic aina-harj-arja). It is often interpreted as "outstanding fighter", but might also signify "those who are all [now] in one army", because when alive on earth they were in many armies and bands, but now they are all in the Army of the Dead.
