If you are planning on doing some sightseeing in Oslo, I recommend you buy the Oslo Card. The price is not bad at all (surprisingly), and public transport (ferries, buses, trains, trams; that alone costs over 60 NOK - $10 - for 24 hours) is included, as well as the entrance fees to all the major sights and museums. If you're only going to 2-3 museums and will be using public transport for more than 3 trips, you get good value for money. See VisitOslo.com for more info on all sights and activities in Oslo and how to get there. Also check out the travel planner in Oslo, trafikanten.no (click on the British flag on the bottom left side of the page for information in English), which helps you find the right bus/tram/ferry to where you want to go.

First Yankee Stadium, now this ... In October the honorable old ski jump Holmenkollen will be demolished and give way to a new one, which should be finished March 2010. The beloved land mark and national symbol must give way to a more modern construction, housing 35 000 spectators and at last - an elevator for the jumpers! The cost is estimated to 920 million NOK (or around 160 million US dollars), but as with most public buildings I am confident the total cost will be at least 30 % higher ...
Anyway, it will be really strange not seeing the jump anymore, it is visible from most parts of the city center. Let's hopethe new one makes an equally elegant profile!
