Meet up with the guys for a quick business discussion and meeting with some nice food in new asecs in Jönköping.
Joyous 1st Advent
Full moon and its reflection on the water. Spending time with my dear father this week end in the country side. Tomorrow it’s a new week with new possibilities. Full speed ahead. Many things to do but at the same time I feel I have pretty good control over the situation. I have finished a few things that have been on my list for a long time and I have managed to reach the ‘zero inbox’ goal. So everything is looking good. Though I must not lean back but put in some effort to reach new goals that I have set up, while at the same time work smart in order to maintain health and joy for all the tasks.
Going green?
Trying to envision my new platform for daily creativeness
Nice house – Myresjöhus – https://www.myresjohus.se/vara-hus/smart-75/
Quite a nice workday this Monday, now taking some time to envision the future a little bit. My own house and a grand piano would be really really nice and useful I think. I have realized over the last few weeks how much I enjoy just being at home, occupying myself with different projects, creating and learning, playing music and composing. Let’s see what happens.

Week end fun
After a nice Friday with friends I managed to squeeze in some nerdiness on the Saturday. Primarily consisting of one thing that I wanted to try for a long time: modifying a computer mouse and keyboard to expose the user to less EMF (Electromagnetic radiation). My idea was to move the wireless component out of the mouse and then to shield it off to emit just enough radiation to be able to connect to the receiver in the computer. I’m not even sure if I found the right component.. That’s how noobie I actually am at this kind of low level electronics.. But I finally chose one component that I identified was present both in the keyboard and the mouse. I was proud to at least make the mouse function with the component in question moved out to the exterior of the mouse. The bad news however was that the radiation still seemed to originate from the interior of the mouse even after the modification. The conclusion being that I probably moved the wrong thing 🙂 anyhow a fun little project that at least refreshed my soldering skills and will makes it easier next time I try something similar.
Mission complete in Jönköping
Great meeting and nice lunch. Now weekend 🙂
Ready for a great Friday
I honestly like the idea of Thanksgiving much better than Black Friday shoppomania. Today anyhow I will have lunch with a great friend and business partner and then a meeting followed later on by dinner with friends in the evening. Many reasons to be thankful in other words. Wishing you a great day and week end. Cheers everyone!
Passive House
Also cool. A house that does not need heating 🙂 Interesting for people in cold countries like Sweden. Explanation below, in 90 seconds.
The Future
What can I say.. this is utterly cool.. Robots and AI is something that fascinated me a lot since I was a kid. The whole idea with computers was from day one the idea to make a machine do the job instead of me. In the beginning I was not so impressed of what saw of the AI development, but just as you could expect, it has a exponential kind of improvement once it reaches a certain point… and now I can feel that that point is very near. It’s both exciting and a bit frightening to think of possible consequences of this in a few decades to come. OpenAI I think is a really great idea of the one and only Elon Musk. Once AI “takes over” it’s important that it is available to “all” and not a few select.
