I don’t do New Year’s resolutions, because I always say you gotta do something when you want to and can. Don’t use a brand new January as an excuse.
I won’t look back at 2006 much either. I went to Oslo, had a great time with Arne and Audun (stay tuned for news on him). I bought a MacBook, which has been my loyal servant ever since. I shot many photos. I didn’t do enough about my eponymous portal. I’ve worn wicked suits, written many pages, played many tunes, danced to many songs.
Why would I want to conclude a year, or the very things that happened in it? My life won’t change because the calendar started all over again. I’m not going to conclude the past year. I’m going to conclude 2006, and everything I did in this year will stay with me regardless. How much of a life philosophy this is? I have no clue. Send me your address and we’ll correspond about it. Snail mail is the new reflections are the new drop shadows are the new black is the new orange.
Have a good one!
This weblog is as eventful as a tanning bed salon during a heatwave, but that won’t stop me from updating it every once in a while! I’ll start off with pointing at super hero artist illustrator Ray Frenden. He started the webcomic with probably the best name on the block: Voorhees a Jolly Good Fellow. I like it a lot!
I tweaked this site a little, too. I added a voting box to the bottom of the page. If you happen to like this photo of my cousin and his lovely daughter enough for it to be published, please vote for it. There will be a voting link at the bottom of this site every time I consider that necessary. I also updated my hCard to actually look somewhat good. Visit my about-page for that.
Lastly, some work I did should be launching this week. I’ve been playing with the cool kids of iusethis and there’s a pretty cool application coming up (and here it is!) that will complement the site perfectly. I designed the icon and am finishing the DMG design. For those of you who actually read my blog, here’s a preview of the icon.
An unlikely trend whore, I do however like me some nice stuff. So I’ve been enjoying a MacBook for a while now, tied to a 20-inch flatpanel. Sitting in the garden, coding and designing, must be one of the biggest changes in my computing life since getting my first Mac. It’s nice to be getting something more than a monitor tan.
I am appealing to all Oslo citizens to meet up with me on one of the three middle days of the next week. These are July 11 through 13. So if you live in or near Oslo and would like to grab a cup of coffee (or tea, or a glass of beer or wine or anything) with me, mail me or try IM. I am known for being pretty kind to people, so this offer sounds like a good plan to me! What are you waiting for!
I had several things up my sleeve on the web side of life, but I put them on my desk while I’m spending some time out of here. I shall revisit them some day soon. Until then, do enjoy my Flickr photo stream and have a good time.
