Tidbits from Lauttasaari

Wagga wagga, soon to be followed by another autumn cool how did that happen? I need the time for wider reflection but i don't know how

There used to b a time i was ignorant of dogs. At the most i considered them to be barking turding nuicances. I wouldnt look twice if a dog passed me by. I was always cautious, and kept my distance. And now, i have been bitten. I can lo longer see a dog without smiling. Suddenly they have become the carriers of happiness and faith. They embody something good, and they generously share with all and sundry. Amazing.

so i got into digg, bebo, delicious and try to make them all work together in flock. but it keeps freezing, saying something about logging in and out to get the advanced integrated features. Waargh! Blogged with the Flock Browser

The story of Flock. the idea that One will connect them all. How long will that last? We have seen them before, come and go. They all promise to make sense of the chaos, bring order into your apps, tame the beast that is modern media and put it within one cover. it's alluring, but ultimately it has always failed. there appears cracks in the surface, incompatibilties, limited functionality, slow upload. or something equally killing to the promises. because the one thing a stressed modern human does not have, is patience. the whole idea behind complete apps is to save time, and spread yourself thin in a number of areas.

yes, its due. new yorkers know it and dare the winds to sit outside and bask in it. we on the upper part of the slanted globe are eagerly awaiting our turn. and today we got a glimpse. Blogged with the Flock Browser

 

Yohoo, finger me in facebook!

decided to do the brave thing (to me at least) and finally start a blog in Swedish (my mother tongue). I wanted today a daily post, but did not succeed. Nevertheless, i have been able to push my own limits of what i am prepared to say. It feels good. I have been looking for a style or approach for such a long time that would allow me to express myself in a way i like via the web. I might be onto something. Goody!

MY life is like a Soduku game. All the pieces must fit together just so, or else it wont work. And it does, from time to time.

Oh yes indeed, dear Mr Mulisch seems to create a stir wherever he goes. Not hard to fathom then where he gets his inspiration for the portrait of Onno Quist... Way to go, man!

Doom is constantly roaming the earth, ready to strike. And stike it does, mercilessly. Harry Mulisch is a great writer, and The discovery of Heaven an incredible mental journey. I am in the middle of it, this is just me poking out my head from that other place, saying hello. Although it does not really register with me, i think perhaps i will find this hello to hello some time in the future and look back at this moment. When i do not know the end of it. Blissful ignorance!

Sun, finally. Someone is tempted to say, it's the weather, stupid. Meanwhile, storm kills four in Sweden. It' s a lot of that in the news these last six months.

Tallinn, late night. My birthday. A good day. I like Tallinn. It feels good to behere again. I miss some old friends, especially Kaupo, that disappeared. Would like to talk to him now. Staying in Hotel Reval quite in the centre, new, and comfortable place. Its one o clock, should go to sleep, but this feeling still stays with me. Just in a moment i will. Winding down. Enjoying Phoenix Alphabetical. Making connections. A really good dinner still stays on. Joy. Life is good. mmmm.

Sunday morning. Venlo.  

A moment of peace.  

Another drink i will have.  

And we survived another new years eve. sounded like war, it did. 

Sweet smell of candles, Christmas eve 2006.  

Sweet smell of candles at Vaasa cemetary on Christmas eve.

I had what i felt to be a real insight today. You know, like you sometimes get, this feeling you just connected the dots. Just a small thing. And now, when i am ready to share it with you, well of course it esacped my mind.
