Travels Debrief
I’ve just spend a month traveling. It was basically a combination of fortunate smaller trips that together made a great one:
San Juan (Puerto Rico)
An island full of flavor. With a duality incorporated to every aspect of life: latins in a anglo-saxon context. Business potential that could be the beginning of something or the end of something even bigger. I’ll be back.
Miami/Boca...

Back to reality, don't forget fantasy
Just wrote this to somebody as part of an email, but soon realized it applies to myself. I’m 3/4 of the way on a month-long trip, but as usual, I’m changed:
As you get back to the real world and laugh at what was said and try to forget what you think you heard; don’t throw all of it away.
Remember some of the crazy ideas, and —even more importantly— some really...

This Is Not A Business Card →
This week I got my new personal business cards. I went with COLOURLovers, This Is Not A Rainbow ready-mades from Moo.com.
I had two objectives:
Cards needed to be ready in a week.
The couldn’t look like they came from Staples.
Since the last time I designed my own business cards it took me about a week to have the design ready, I just choose the most colorful/conversation starting...

A Month in the US of A
Jumping over the Atlantic
It been about a month since I arrived in the US after leaving Norway.
The first week in Boston with my family was a welcomed vacation. The days leading to it where tiring mentally and emotionally and the safety of being with my parents and sister was uplifting.
Boston sans University
Boston holds a special place in my heart. My two years there where really...

Off to South Europe
Call it Europa, Continental Europe or whatever, over the next two weeks I’ll be backpacking and road-tripping around Amsterdam, Paris, Zurich, Genoa, St. Tropez, Barcelona and Madrid. With probably a few stops in between.
I’ll be going with some good friends, some new ones and visiting some old ones.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is great
★★★★★
Loved this film. It’s typical a Wes Anderson movie done in animated stop-motion. If you like his style, then you are in for a great time.
I loved the whole feel of the movie, and the way Anderson makes you love flawed characters. As most of his films, there is no universal measure of good or bad, no real heroes or villians, just life, with people (and animals) experiencing...

An open Facebook
Over the past two years, my use of Facebook has dropped consistently. To the point that I only use it as an event reminder, since it’s where most people post birthdays, parties, etc.
At the same time, I have been blogging, more or less consistently, on 5typos.net. I really enjoy it, although none of the posts are great, it feels good to create content.
However, sometimes I want to post...
