How’s this for weird. Me and my wife is probably going to be in a rock video. Apparently we are going to be dressed up and do some dancing. Me and dancing. Yeah right. Anyway, it’s probably intended to look really cheesy, and I think I have a lot to give in that department. I [...]

Hopefully I will do a photo shoot with my friend Kalix this weekend. I’ve been thinking about four or five different shots I would like to get. He’s used to be photographed because he’s a musician and have done it a lot. He looks cool as well, so I think I can make some great [...]

Being sick today and confined to bed, I thought that I’ll try something important. Like streaming video from my Dreambox DM7000 linux sattelite receiver to my Powerbook so I can watch TV in bed.

Yesterday my son Groucho turned seven. And today we had his birthday party. He had invited his school class, but we didn’t think that many would show up. So today we had 17 unruly kids in our apartment. And it was fun! The guys took over Groucho’s room, and the girls sat in the livingroom. [...]
