Choking on employee emergency codes

I’ve recently began reading “Choke”, a novel by the guy behind Fight Club; Chuck Palahniuk. As with Fight Club, I’m completely enthralled by the straightforward provocative story line and edgy mentality towards life and how to live it. Some things are just totally absurd while others make so much sense - either way, it is [...]

Polaroid love

I’ve had a few “moments” earlier in my life, where I seriously considered buying a Polaroid camera. Now, I’m having one of those again. I totally love everything about Polaroids: the vintage colors, the overexposed ligthing, the neat on-the-fly film print and the camera itself. Man, the more I write and speak about, the more I want one!! [...]

3 twisted comic strips

For the last few days, I haven’t had much spare time (if any) behind a computer. Therefore I failed to meet the “one post a day” goal. Well, I figured that as long as I’ve posted one post a day in average throughout the week, it’s OK So here’s the next submission: 3 great comic strips [...]

Tales from Thailand

Last summer, the family and I had a great trip to Thailand. It’s truly an amazing country. The beautiful nature, the kind hospitable people and the interesting culture (food, religion, traditions, everything…) made it a very experience-rich trip altogether.
I’ve posted a few photos from the trip that I want to share. You can find them at Flickr here. If you’re curious, [...]

Challenge OTW: One post a day keeps the doc away

I don’t blog enough. Simple. So, for the next week I’ll blog everyday - one a day.
One post a day keeps the doc away - or how is it?
Yeah, i know, i know. It’s not really that of a challenge. But, as I’m pretty bad at keeping up a decent post stream, it’ll probably prove [...]

Challenge OTW: Get down and knock them off!

I’m not doing much sport at the moment. Frankly, the only physical work I do, is riding my bike 2 * 3 kilometers to and from the train station each day.
Well, for the whole next week, I’ll try and change that. Goal:
Do 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups a day.
I recently finished a book by Carsten Mørch called [...]

Lifestreaming - next generation blogging?

While the blogging-trend seem to have reached it’s peak (or is that just being naive?), a new phenomenon is luring to be the “next big web thing”: Lifestreaming.
In brief, a lifestream is “a record of a person’s daily activities, aggregated from online sources such as blog posts, social networks and photo publishing“. The word Micro Blogging is about [...]
