Interviewing Lorelle VanFossen 2
I’ve got an interview up with the excellent Lorelle VanFossen, of WordPress fame, over at BloggerTalks. You should read it if you’re even remotely interested in blogging.
Three Things I’ll Miss Eating In Japan 0
Just a few days before I go back home to Sweden now. About time I listed the best food this country has to offer, right? Read more
The Problem With Linux 2
Yesterday I installed the Ubuntu Linux distribution on my Kohjinsha. Spent an hour trying to get it to boot correctly from an USB stick, then gave up and bought an external DVD, which worked right away. So now it’s running Ubuntu, boots up at 10 seconds or so (to login screen), and is way faster than Vista Home which was on it from the start. Read more
Back In The Land Of Kings 8
I’m sitting in the familiar chair in front of my three TFT screens, behind my desk. Back in Sweden again, after a horrible day of traveling (I won’t fly intercontinental in economy class again), and a good night’s sleep in a room beyond 5 degrees Celsius.

What is the Notes Blog theme then, and why didn’t I design a theme myself, being a designer and all? Well, that’s just the thing: I did. The Notes Blog theme is a project in the works, I’ve mentioned it in passing before. This blog is running on a modified version of it. Read more
Cammy’s Ass For Sale 1
If you’ve been reading Kotaku lately, you’ve seen a billion of these pictures. Collectibles are big in Japan, and this is - sadly, I might add - by far not the worst one. Lots of tits n’ ass, no matter if it’s a videogame character, or a young schoolgirl. I’m no crazy porn moralist or anything, but I find this part of the culture a bit hard to swallow.
Four new photo sets from Japan 0
I’ve published another four photo sets from Japan to my Flickr account:
Had to upgrade to pro for this to work. Lots of photos… Anyway, follow my Japan 2008 collection for the latest from my trip to Japan!
