Moleskine delight!

By emil | Published: May 21, 2008
On a business trip to Stockholm today I had some time to kill and went to the pen and paper section of the department store Åhlens to search for a new notebook (I admit, I have a notebook addiction). Naturally I first checked the Moleskine shelf as they produce the most convenient and good looking notebooks on the [...]

Almost a week with the straight razor

By emil | Published: May 18, 2008
I have shaved with the straight razor for almost a week now and I must say that I'm pleased with the performance so far. It will take some time to get the same results that I'm used to with the safety razor, but it is kind of fun learning to master this lost form of [...]

A very usable OS X key combo

By emil | Published: May 14, 2008
Found a nice post at Lifehacker today which lists ten things you forgot that you mac can do, and to be frank, I didn't even know it could do this. Highlight any word by selecting it, or simply hover the mouse pointer over it and press Control + Command + D, and a stylish pop-up will [...]

Evernote Mac 1.1 – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

By emil | Published: May 14, 2008
Uffe mentioned that TUAW (Evernote Mac 1.1 - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)) is highlighting that version 1.1 of Evernote was released recently. I have used Evernote for a couple of weeks now and so far I think it has great potential, but still needs a lot of polishing.  If you are interested in testing this [...]

Yesterday I had my lunch in front of the computer at the office and since I'm easily bored by just sitting and eating by myself, I fired up Safari and browsed to TED.com for a little meal entertainment. While enjoying my Marinara Meatball sub I watched Yochai Benkler's seminar Open-source economics, which was really interesting. He [...]

I took the straight razor plunge

By emil | Published: May 13, 2008
During almost a year I have shaved using a safety razor and it has given me a closer shave than all electric shavers or plastic Mach-X-style Gilette razors I have tried so far. It took some time to get the right technique, thus avoiding razor burn and pimples, but it was worth the wait. When [...]

Back in English

By emil | Published: May 13, 2008
For almost a long time now, I have had a problem coming up with stuff to write about on this blog. The problem, as I have figured out now, is that I did not have a purpose with the writing and therefore it haven't been meaningful. This time, however, I will write so that other people [...]

Ny dator!

By emil | Published: May 4, 2008
I onsdags hämtade jag upp en sprillans ny MacBook Air från MacSupport i Malmö. Det blev den "snåla" varianten med 1,6 GHz Core 2 Duo och 80 GB PATA disk (tyvärr bara 4200 rpm...). Har nu kört med den sedan dess och jag måste säga att jag är väldigt nöjd med den så långt - klart [...]
