The BlogPage 1
I believe strongly in owning your own words on your very own home online, which is why I concentrate most of my writing here, and less on various social media outlets. You should consider the same, for a more open web.

Five things (April 3rd, 2018)
Traveling is a big part of my life at the moment, mostly for work, but still. It has obviously made me reconsider some things in my setup, and also been top of mind the past few months. Here are five not completely travel related things for you, in no particular order as usual. I travel […]

Flying habits
Like so many other frequent fliers, I’ve got my habits. They’re not hacks or unique in any way, just things I’ve started doing on a regular basis because it makes traveling less stressful. Key here is to reduce stress, because traveling takes a lot of energy as it is, and stressing about it just adds […]

Five things (March 2nd, 2018)
I haven’t done one of these things in a while. Since I’m home sick today, I figured it might be fitting to stick to the lighter side of things. Here are five things, in no particular order, that’s been on my radar recently. I’m testing the Kronaby smartwatch at the moment. It’s a Swedish product, […]

Writing a journal
I’ve been writing a journal for a long time. It started with text files on my computer, an overpriced 386 tower in my teenage bedroom, the keyboard within reach from my bed. I wrote a lot back then, as I do now, and why bother getting out of bed, really? Ah, teenagers… I’ve never had […]

The reMarkable
Regular readers know all about my obsession with e-ink devices. From my dreams about an e-ink typewriter, later realized in the Freewrite, to various e-ink readers, it should be fairly obvious that I find e-ink fascinating. It’s also no surprise that the reMarkable would catch my eye. The reMarkable is an e-ink tablet with a […]

iPhone X
There’s something horrible about writing a post on the latest smartphone from Apple. It’s such a luxurious gadget, so over the top unnecessary, that I almost feel bad for getting it. Which is obviously ridiculous, since my previous model has found a new home, and so it goes until these precious pieces of tech don’t […]

So I sold a company
I started the Odd Alice web agency in 2010, as a spin-off to another company. The idea was to not say no to so many gigs, because it turns out that writing books about WordPress is a great way to get work. Malin joined as a founder, and we ran and owned the company up […]

It starts on the phone
It starts on the phone, always. Proximity is key, because it didn’t use to be like this, but today the phone is always there, and it’s an amazing piece of hardware that invites interaction. It also invites distraction, but that’s something you and I must handle ourselves. The phone can’t do it for us, it […]

Five Things, August 2017
It’s mid-August and I have things to share, in no particular order or even with a greater purpose other than to get it out there. So here goes, a (perhaps long overdue) five things enjoyed post for mid-August 2017. I updated my setup page, mostly because of the 10.5” iPad Pro, which has replaced the […]

On the app subscription model
1Password, Day One, and now Ulysses, turn to the subscription model. I don’t think this is a good thing. 1Password started to push for their server sync feature, with personal and family accounts. Subscribe ($36 for personal, $60 for family), get your passwords in the cloud, that sort of thing. It works well enough, we […]
