I’ve never heard this song before. A little on the safe side but I just can’t stop playing it.
Hope you all have a great Tuesday evening!

Todays sunset in Stockholm
On my way from work today I had to stop two times. Just had to preserve todays sunset that was awesome. Unfortunately I didn’t have my DSLR, but I’m really starting to like my “little friend”, the Olympus. Small enough to keep in the pocket everywhere I go and I think the quality is satisfying compared to the size.
Hope you have a great evening!
Cat vs Alligator
This is one tough kitten! Takes nerves to fight an Alligator over food, but it doesn’t keep this one from trying!
Now that’s attitude!
Short introduction to Swedish by Ola Lustig
Since I’m living in a country where the word for Married and Poision is exactly the same (and pronounced the same) and, as you will learn in the video the number six is the same as sex, I thought it would be of great value to share a quick introduction to “how to speak Swedish”.
A little international warning: In Sweden everyone’s allowed to speak words like fxxk, and other foul words in TV and press, so if you’re offended by those words this is a little warning that there are no “beeeps” in Swedish film clips in general. If you, on the other hand likes a little bit of irony and language comparisons you might find this extremely short introduction interesting 🙂
Last day of an intense week
So, this is Sunday evening. The end of a week, that in many ways feels like a month! The week started of hectically with all the work that needed to be done, before getting up from bed at 3:30 Tuesday morning to jump on a plane to London for the ICE fair, so Tuesday night was a night out, and do I need to tell that my eyes were both pointing at my nose?!
Wednesday went by pretty quick. Had some nice discussions during the day and in the evening I had a great dinner together with some new acquaintances and a colleague of mine. Back at the hotel I found out that an old school friend from Piteå also was in London. 15 minutes later we had a beer and shared some laughs at a restaurant and talked to a French woman in her 60:s about life in general, and the history of Europe. A friendly conversation that made some sudden U-turns at the end when she started to repeat “I wanna kill, I wanna kill”…. 🙂 so, we jumped in a taxi and finished the night down at Picadilly.
Thursday afternoon I went back to Stockholm and had a full night of sleep. Friday morning I had some really interesting business meetings before I went on a conference with me and my colleagues company, DevCode. We stayed at a conference center called Skepparholmen which I really recommend! Great service, great view and excellent food! In the evening we spent two hours in the outside pool, surrounded by snow and all the boats that enters / leaves Stockholm. Magic! A good conference that I think can be important for the future.
Suddenly, it was Sunday. A week that went by as fast as it can and at the same time feels like it was an eternity.
To get back on track I spent the whole Sunday walking in the spring like weather in the woods in Stockholm. Don’t think that are any better ways to slow down and fill up the reserves again.
I hope you all had a great week too, and best wishes for the new week.
B/W photos colored to reflect history
This is a powerful article I’ve found yesterday, about old B/W-photos that now has been colored and how they actually describes the reality in a new way. Two of the photos are really graphic (warning), and when colored even more horrifying than before.
For me this was an eye-opener. It’s easy to think that the history looks so much different than the present, but I guess it’s easy to imagine that things were more different than they were.
Sunrise in Norrbotten – Sweden
This is a pic I took a few months ago (also in Piteå). The pic has just been lying around on my computer but I recently got some new inspiration in composition from a close friend of mine and the composition of this pic is actually a suggestion from my inspirer; and I think the result came out so much better than the original. It’s strange. Sometimes you just need that push to get out of the blocks.
In terms of other adjustments I’ve added some Noise reduction. Part from that the image is all natural.
Polar bears and dogs – Svalbard
I didn’t thought that polar bears (as I’ve learned to be one of the toughest animals out there) could be this gentle and playful.
Really great short video!
Electric moon
During my winter holiday I spent some time in Piteå. The 27:th of December was a remarkable day in terms of a beautiful sky and a clear moon, so I spent a whole day walking around in my old home town. On my way back (behind Nolia for those that are familiar with Piteå) I came across some electric wires, and just behind the wires, The Moon – so I thought I’d call the pic Electric Moon…
Hope you all get a good start of your week.
A clever page turner
Happy New year!
So, Christmas and New Years Eve is over and things are getting back to normal. Have tried to keep my hands off the blog world for a few weeks and find new inspiration, and boy, inspiration I’ve found!
Let’s kick this year off with a really clever page turner 🙂
Best wishes for a happy 2012!
