I have to suggest a website to you, Dear Reader. The past days I’ve bought a few musical pieces from eClassical.com, a wonderful website that has mp3 recordings, without DRM or any other digital rights scheme, for very good prices. It’s super-easy: click on what you want to buy, enter your credit card number, and [...]

Would Be That My Dreams Took Flight
Ich halte meine Träume in meiner Hand Und frage mich, warum fliegt ihr nicht? Ihr liegt nur da, so leise und still Keine Bewegung in meinem Gesicht. Wenn sie endlich Flucht ergreifen Wie schön wär’ es nicht! Hoch über die Erde fliegen sie Hoch und stolz in meinem Gesicht. Bleibt noch bei mir, Träume still [...]

Things I Never Knew Could Be Done With Cmd.Exe
I spent a part of yesterday looking through all the commands in Cmd.Exe (the Windows command shell, inheritor of the old COMMAND.COM). It’s interesting how they’ve added switches and stuff to improve on it since the early days, but how almost nobody seems to use it. Admittingly, it’s a far cry from bash, the Unix [...]

Wallpaper, Constitution Series
I designed some wallpapers themed on the U.S. Constitution and history. Feel free to download them if you like. They’re 1200×1024. (What the…? I thought they were 1280 in width…?) The Star-Spangled Banner The Declaration of Independence The Bill of Rights

Pictures from Skärhamn
Inspired by my friend Marie Breskic’s pictures from Brcko, I had to set out and create my own little presentation of the surroundings where I live – which I have repeatedly promised to a number of people on a number of occasions and not quite yet gotten around to. So, without further ado: This is [...]

FutureMe
I received a letter from the past today. It was sent by myself, on Sunday, February 12th, 2006, and it read as follows: This is a little message I sent to my future me. I hope you are doing well. It’s cold out here now, but the sun is shining and it’s a wonderful day. [...]

Beautiful, Beautiful Fonts
I’m starting to develop a love for fonts. What, you say? Yes, fonts. Typefaces. The art of typography is absolutely wonderful; it comes the elements of text, lettering, and words, into an art of design and readability. I think one of the best things you can do if you’re serious about typography is to go [...]

Life in a New City
By the 31st of May, my contract on my old apartment finally expired. Having paid double rent for two and a half months, it was something I looked forward to. Now someone else lives there, and I’m gone from Skövde for good. Having left the place where I grew up – permanently – is a [...]

Robots and our Children
I have the picture to my right as wallpaper on my cell phone right now. It’s interesting to pause and reflect on it for a minute. The picture clearly depicts a little robot, dancing together with a little child in very playful fashion. The robot, for all its mechanical exterior, seems happy; and the child [...]

Summertime at the Office
And once again, it’s the time of the year when temperatures climb – not outside, inside – to 28 degrees. Swedish houses are built to contain heat and not let it out. Which means that whenever the sun comes out and summer temperatures roll in, all the houses become little saunas. Our office does the [...]

A Room with a View
For the past few days we’ve been intensely renovating and redecorating our workspace. The walls have been painted, a whole section of the wall has been torn out, and everything smells of fresh paint. There’s a ton of furniture, old computers and other stuff lying around, but step by step, we’re completing the job. Anyhow, [...]
