233. my first mixset

For a while I've been trying to make a mix of my favourite grime songs at the moment, using Traktor DJ Studio but since I'm not 100% on live mixing, I put Traktor on the shelf and started using Ableton Live instead. And I just have to say: it's amazing! So amazing that finally I was able to ...

227. Chevron redesign criticism

A few weeks ago when reading Wired magazine I noticed a rather scary ad by the company Chevron . It was an ad for their new site called willyoujoinus.com which is some kind of feel-good-PR site for Chevron. It's about how we have to chill out with our extensive use of oil. ...

231. iChat app status

Based on iTunesStatus I wrote a small Applescript app today, that changes the iChat image to the icon of your active application. Since it doesn't seem to be a standard for how applications' icns-files are named (name.icns, theApp.icns, app.icns etc), there was no way to pick up the active icon from each app automatically, ...

Last night I stayed at Julias house because I didn't have the strenght to go back up to Dalston last night. Poor me! Well, enough miserableness. Oh London ...

219. sushiris är dyrt!

Kanske inte en rykande nyhet, men jag tänkte bara tipsa om att vanligt hederligt grötris (10kr/kg) funkar nästan lika bra som sushiris (57kr/kg). ("Ta annars vanligt grötris, råder Mariko Kawasaki på Japanska Torget i på Tegnérgatan i Stockholm.")

217. Funeral

I have been to a funeral. My uncle Herman's. It's weird, I have experienced a lot more funerals through the tv show Six Feet Under than in real life (only three), and that has made me think that funerals are not that sad. Before we walked inside the chapel me and my sister were just joking and hanging out ...

Hello. Yesterday me and Sarah was walking around with hangovers trying to figure out what to do with our lives.

Today I brought my computer along to school to write some stuff, but I never should have done that. After cinema and a beer I came home and put on my laptop and two thirds of the screen is dead! Only the top part is alive. This sucks. Not just because i have to replace the screen but it didn't ...

A while back I discovered the Swedish band IQ 55, probably through some compilations, and recently I found a website where you can download some of their songs! One of the songs, Människor sounds sooo much like Television, but in Swedish, and it's great! Actually, I really like all their songs a lot! Links: Människor MP3, ...

Never ending drawing is a project I started in Stockholm five years ago. Inspired by Douglas Coupland's book Microserfs, Paul Auster's New York Trilogy and some drawings made by my sister I started mapping my movements in the city. I downloaded a map over Stockholm and pasted it into Illustrator and drew my movents in ...
