So I quit my job. It was a good job, many positive things, but in the end it didn’t work out for me. It feels good. Too much uncertainty about my role. I never quite managed to build relations with the company. I’m too much on “the spectrum” to be able to live with this … Continue reading True Happiness This Way Lies

Sweden 2022
I have printed and framed a selection of photos from my corona walks. Most motives are local, taken within 10 minutes of where I live. Last year I did framed prints for our own walls, this year I was thinking it could be fun to see if I could sell some. I like the process … Continue reading Sweden 2022

Fredecon 2022
This year I organised a gaming retreat in Tranås, Sweden. Games were played with lots of time to catch up on life in between.
Catalyst for change
Every change begins with someone taking the first step. Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat. Greta Thurnberg showing up at the parliament, not school. Mathias Rust landing a plane on the Red Square. They become the catalyst for change, a symbol and an inspiration for thousands to follow. Russians have been brainwashed for … Continue reading Catalyst for change

So I guess we will find out what “lagom” means (one of SD’s election posters promised to make Sweden … Continue reading Let’s see what lagom means
Highlights of summer 2022
One of the differences between Denmark and Sweden is that in Sweden kids have a long summer break — nearly 10 weeks. Our kids quickly grew tired of summer time day care offered from school. Luckily both my wife and I have flexible work from home options and kids are old enough to take care … Continue reading Highlights of summer 2022
Charging away from home — the plugin experience
There is still a war going on in Ukraine and the planet is still warming. For some fellow human beings on this planet, these issues impact daily life significantly. For me, these still cause merely inconvenience. However, they are drivers for moving away from fossil fuels and towards sustainable energy sources as fast as possible. … Continue reading Charging away from home — the plugin experience
Going electric / new routines
A double post to catch up on recent events. Going electric So the time came to invest in a new car. The old car failed its yearly checkup which was a good excuse to renew. Given the long delivery times and the high price tags on electric cars with long range, the choice landed on … Continue reading Going electric / new routines
Sad times
Maidan 2018 What happened Thursday this week impacts us immensely. My wife is Ukrainian and we have friends and family in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people has chosen their own path for 30 years and will fight fiercely to defend their right to do so also in the future. The war that Putin started in 2014 … Continue reading Sad times
