Så kickade den in – bloggtorkan

Categories: StoriesTags: · · · Leave a comment

Ja, det var väl antagligen oundvikligt. Att den skulle komma, förr eller senare. Den där dagen utan inspiration att formulera sig här. Men ändå leverera ett #blogg100-inlägg för att hålla det igång :). Så ni får nöja er med en bild på våra två ännu relativt nyinflyttade gospälsbollar! Uchi och Deshi. Här, trängtande efter läcker blötmat. Den som är närmast mig är mest pappas pojke – Deshi. Nu, sjunka tillbaka i soffan och vila, vila, vila. Det har varit en väldigt lång dag med många möten, så nu behövs den ljuvliga nattvilan mer än någonsin. Godnatt!

Aikidokan

Tredje dagen i utmaning #blogg100 – hundra dagar, hundra inlägg! Familjeman, aikidoka, DJ, sustainopreneur. Topp fyra av mina “identitetstaggar”. Vad som tydligast definierar mig och som ger min ‘persona’ relief. Igår tog jag en dagsbetraktelse kring familjen. Idag några få ord om min älskade aikido! Först och främst. Jag har länge tänkt att börja dela med mig av mina tankar och erfarenheter från mitt liv som ‘aikidoka’ – vilket betyder ‘en som lär sig aikido’. Så det här få bli en spontan intro på en bredare ansats framåt. Ska jag bara kort här och nu säga vad aikidon betyder för…

Familjemannen

Andra dagen på #blogg100. Idag blev det tur och retur Växjö. Nadine ligger nu lugnt i sin säng – och Uchi i vår. Uchi? Ja, det är en av våra två nya katter! Efter Wendys bortgång i oktober förra året så gapade ett enormt stort hål av kattlöshet. Till slut fick det vara nog, och via en gnutta magi kom två Birmabröder in i våra liv! Den andra heter Deshi – och har verkligen blivit pappas pojke. Jag älskar redan våra nya familjemedlemmar! Vill ni ha utförlig dokumentation och berättelser – och en rejäl omgång kattspam :) – läs då…

The tedious work of updating profiles

Categories: StoriesTags: · · · Leave a comment

When new activities in life occurs, and life shifts into new adventures, you have to update all your “virtual identities”. I feel like being beyond halfway now, at least, but still some heavy leg-work to do before ready. So far I have placed my hand on My Google+ About My Facebook (still to create an InFluxum Page so I can add the position “founder”) My LinkedIn My Yahoo Profile My Twitter Bio All got the new avatar (that Karin shot past summer), together with a new cover/header photo (here as well). All the links are found on the equally updated…

Catching up on a pile of newspapers – with soundtrack

Categories: Music · StoriesTags: · · · · Leave a comment

It’s #SundaySerenity ! Today, Karin and I really took the full day to rest. I had a huge pile of newspapers to catch up, and I almost made it thru the day :). The reading was soundtracked by some nice and lovely meditative sounds. Jan Johansson’s “Jazz in Swedish” / “Jazz på Svenska” has been rediscovered, and I keep coming back to that magnificent piece of magic music. The soundtrack from the Gladiator, yes – some of the tunes I would get to a specific playlist “Music that makes me cry”. Some music owns your soul temporarily, some other for…

A Short Word of Gratitude

It’s #SaturdayLove ! I am thankful for having you all here in my life – my beloved Karin, my equally beloved daughter Nadine, and In Memoriam, I was so happy to have you in my life, Wendy. Today, we met the Winter Sun in a Photo Geek Walk, and rested after an intense week, and spent the afternoon in serenity. Reading and watching TV. Now ending day with a film :) !

Categories: Featured · StoriesTags: · · Leave a comment

Intentions and reality – I think the cartoon says it all. But, today, I feel I will try to get a ritual going. One Post Per Day – just before the day fades out. And what could be better to announce – I have gotten approved by the authoroties to start my new venture – InFluxum! The market is primarily “hyper-local” – meaning Norrköping, Sweden. Thus, the website is Swedish Only. More news to be shared – and in time, do follow @InFluxum, and check out the website on http://influxum.se :).

Wendy My <3 - Rest In Peace

Categories: Featured · StoriesTags: · · · · · · 5 Comments

Today, at 15.25, Wendy took her last breath. Right now, I am out of words. I can only say, that I lost one of my three most beloved in my life – a family member I got the pure joy, bliss and happinness to spend four and a half years with. I had the privilege to get fully adopted by a sweet, unique, sensitive, intelligent, charming, wonderful beauty of a Queen. I let the pictures speak for themselves for the moment. I will update this posting with captions, to tell the full story. Later. Now, we will try to get…

Reflections on The Art, Space and Time for Macroblogging

Categories: Featured · StoriesTags: · · · · · · · · · · · · 1 Comment

There is something magic in the expressions of intentions, and I believe they work only if you express them for yourself. My belief is that some intentions make things happen the way you envision it if you express them with the one’s sharing them, and yet some only if you express them, silently, for yourself. I never got to the spot to actually get into regular “macroblogging”. Maybe it is in the language you use, programming yourself. “I will…” instead of “I am…”. And when it comes to my regular blogging in the longer format, here on my latest “blog…

Life in constant change – You Are what You Think and Do

Categories: Featured · StoriesLeave a comment

Two years ago, according to a service out there on the social web, I was revamping my profile – starting with updating my avatars. I have now reached this loop in the same kind of process again. The hardest trick was to find what categories to include on this Personal Community Hub. I did not get all the way last time, last year, but now I feel quite comfortable with them. So – with that, I will introduce every stream with an initial posting, in this new version of my hub/home on the web!
