Routines & coffee

Walked another 90 minutes home yesterday night. Andreas went on the plane to Chile, gonna miss him.

This morning I tried to get up at 06:00, didn’t work. I fell asleep at midnight. Now I’m up at 07, was planning on taking a 90 minutes walk to the gym and workout, but I can feel how my body reacted of the two long walks … and it’s raining. So I’m gonna take it easy and skip the walk and only workout with some weights.

Must not start to strong or I could get sick. It’s just a matter of getting a new routine started. One year from now, I must be fitter than my brothers or loose 14.000 SEK (that’s $2.148 USD).

Another day at Menyou – the secret company, coffee machine installed. I don’t drink coffee. At least, I haven’t since I was 14 years old. Coffee latte tasted pretty good, took 2 cups. Got high or something, felt a rush of happiness, speed and alertness. Hooked? Maybe we have a new coffee addiction coming up.

First day in the new office

Today I have been moving my stuff into our new office. The secret project I haven’t been talking about is now a secret company. It actually has been for a while, but now we have a our own new office and new recruits. Thank you North Kingdom for the time (is it 3 years?) I have spent there! Gonna miss ya all…

The name of the secret company is Menyou. It comes from “Me and You” and that’s all I can say for now.

What I can say – it was very nice to move into a new office. Been working with my colleague (Andreas Lindholm) in my apartments kitchen for 3 weeks now and it’s been getting on my nerves. He’s also been sleeping on a mattress in my room. I love the guy, he’s like a brother to me, but enough is enough. ;-)

Tomorrow he’s going back to Chile, after 3 months in Sweden. Autumn started here today, spring is waiting for him in Chile.

After a good days work at the office, we took a fast walk home, took us 90 minutes. I made a (maybe-not-so) stupid bet on the way home, told my brothers Magnus and Fredrik – over sms – that they would get 7.000 SEK each if they would be more fit than me – same date – next year. They are 3 and 6 years older than me, less fit already (except Magnus arm-wrestling-arm), so I got some head start. We will see what happens…

Keep in tuned.

Spore Dance Contest


Try out Spore’s Creature Creator. An incredible game demo, where you can create creatures and monsters of many, many kinds. The inverse kinematics and 3D is amazing. They have a dance contest, which I of course had to enter. Made the creature above and uploaded on Youtube. She is called Bootyliticus. Please, have a watch! All though, I don’t think you or the judges can handle this…

Midsummer!

Well, we lost the fotboll game and a part of our democracy! But we can’t get depressed for something like that! It’s time for the best holiday in Sweden, midsummer! That’s when we dance around the pole of fertility! Get drunk and eat lots of food! Swedish tradition. If you never heard of this or tried to dance like a frog or chicken, this video is for you! See it as an introduction to Sweden:


Happy midsummer!

Welcome to DDR 2.0

fra.jpg

Sweden have agreed to go Stasi on it’s citizens, despite their reactions. It’s 1984 all over again, the FRA law is now de facto. If you live in Sweden, everything you do on the net can soon be studied, e-mail and chats scanned and sms read. All your phone calls could be recorded – without suspicion of crime, trial or court.

Is it a coincidence that the law was granted on the same time that all people of Sweden was watching fotboll, 9.30 PM Russia-Sweden 2-0? We didn’t loose only fotboll EM, we lost a part of our democratic society.

Google said this law is better suited in a country like Saudi Arabia or China and have moved their servers away from Sweden. Other IT companies are concerned too… Reputation of Sweden is going down hill.

The 18:th of June will be remembered. At least for us Swedes… Welcome to DDR 2.0. Starting in the beginning of next year.
