My World

I’ve been really into VC (Venture Capital) of late. Looking into how it works, and how it works in todays web 2.0 era. No matter how much I read there seams to be a lot more to read, and a lot more to understand. For example I’m not that much of a economic person, and that is what’s making my head spin most of the time. Cash Flow, Burn Rate, Stocks, and there are a lot more. Separately they might not be that difficult to understand, but somewhere along these different “words” actually coexists and depends on each other. That is what I’m having a hard time to understand.

A lot of the VC stuff out there is also only looking towards how companies are supposed to make their way, but nothing about the people actually doing the work. So I got hold of this article by Guy Kawasaki, and it’s worth a read. It’s really interesting especially if you are not that much of a economist, like me

Anyway, I’ll update about this soon, and I’ve some exiting stuff to tell you about why I’m researching this right now.

So I’ve been looking into some web-design lately, want to start some nice cool ideas that I have, but before I get started I want to visualize it first. I’m not that good at the design part, or that’s what I keep telling myself anyway. But I do know whether it’s good or not, if it’s functional or not, and usually know what to do about it to get it functional and esthetic.

Anyhow, I came over this tutorial Create a Sleek, High-End Web Design from Scratch by PSDTUTS. I have read most of it, but not really gotten in to it. However, now I know that I really need to start working on my photoshop skills.
I’ll start off by making a new design to my dads company, and then I’ll see where it will lead!
I’ll show it later, at the moment it’s nothing I’m proud of…

So today was my second day at Twingly. And I have to tell you it’s been awesome fun. We have really been let at it, and have quite free hands when it come to design decisions. The CEO of Twingly and our contractor, and I guess you could say customer, has a good idea of what he wants, but other than that we can work with pretty well any technique we want. Though he has given us a hint that the new Microsoft Silverlight probably is the best thing to use.

Doesn’t say much hey?

We are on the gag at the moment, but we’ll be updating you through the Twingly Summer of Code 2008 blog. Take a look here. We’ll be updating you there frequently during the upcoming weeks.

Enjoy!

So I haven’t written, and you can probably understand why. I didn’t manage to finish the marathon.

I did 30 k, and the last 10 I was doing even faster than the first, if you count average that is. Everything was feeling really good, but when I reached 26 k it started to heart in my knees, and I started taking it a bit easier. But when I reached about 30 I could barely move any longer, so i decided to stop.

And walk instead, but when I reached the 32 k line I realize that it wasn’t any point. My knees were pretty well buckling, and I was almost crying. I stopped at a Med station to ask for some painkillers but they only had some soft shit, so I realized that I wasn’t going to be able to finish the race. CRAP!

Anyhow, I thought that it was better quitting and actually being able to walk for the rest of my life than screwing my knees up. So stopping it was.

But today my feet are so bad that I can barely walk. I know that I’m wining, but I usually don’t and I’ve never had a injury of this kind. It hearts under my feet, just beneath the outre sides of the foot. And I don’t know what it is. It almost feels like I’m stepping right on bone, and as there isn’t any flesh in between.

Anyhow, I’m going to have a couple of days rest and just work and see what happens.

Hope you all are doing well, the weather here is wicked and I have to stay inside, but every day after work I’m headed out to stay in the sun.

Hope you guys are having a good time too!

Here is a picture from the stockholm marathon!

Beein trying out MarsEdit, which is a quite sweet blog editor, but I haven’t been able to add youtube clips which is kind of bad.

But this is a new try lets see what happens!

I’ve been really lazy lately, so I wanted to illustrate it with a picture

So I’m through my second beer and starting to feel a bit of a buzz, fine enough for today and any other day for that matter too.

I’ve been playing around with a couple of different themes too, what do you think about this one?
I kind of like it, it’s playfull, but still a nice curve too it
Here is a picture of the day, maybe something that I’m going to start doing

Hey dudes,
Lately I’ve slept about four hours a night, and pretty much been at it the rest of the time, which has been fun, been doing a lot.

Today though I just felt like enough is enough, and took a break. I was supposed to go and meet this beautifull spanish girl, nice legs, nice eyes, and a butt to die for. Ahh, choose to stay home instead, there are more chicks in the sea, but a nice evening at home, watching a movie with cold beer in one hand is not that often that you get to do.

Just got through a Estrella not that bad actully.

Next will be a Staropramen Dark.

I’ll come back in a couple of minutes when I’m through that, and tell you about the taste
