Give Opera a try (on your cellphone)

I installed opera yesterday and it is great, a whole lot better than the built in browser that come with my SonyEricsson.
I've just tested it for one day, and my initial impression is that it is a good program worth installing.

I'll keep you posted on my experiences of Opera so come back for a longer "review" later.

Rebtel - cool guys doing social business

Today I found something really interesting: When logging onto Facebook a friend of mine had joined a group called EntRebEneurs. The purpose of the group is to bring "young people with entrepenuerial minds" together to be a part of the company Rebtel and steer its development.

Rebtel is a company that offers free or lowprice international phonecalls from your mobile phone. The product itself is good but not extreamly exciting, though the webpage is pretty nice. What is exciting is that they make use of the evergrowing social networking trend, not only spreading the word using it but inviting people to be a part of the development of the company. Apparently Rebtel has hired two college students to do this online social networking as a summer job, so they hang out on Facebook, writes a blog and invites people to irl events.

This is a sign of how the social networks becomes more important to business and my guess is that we will see a lot like this on communities like Facebook.

I like it and I like that the web empowers people! Good luck to Björn and Linus (the college guys) and good luck to Rebtel (to which I have already signed up, since I have a sister abroad) ;-)

No comment needed - But I can't wait

IPhone fever: IPhone Case Holster on Ebay

It's an IPhone fever out there. A search on IPhone on ebay renders over 1000 results, and the phone haven't even hit the stores yet. And it doesn't even have 3g capabilities.

Microsoft Surface continued...

It actually even looks like an IPhone ;-) But you can't call.

BumpTop 3d - Ok, this is cool and it's the future

I don't like lists. I don't like my desktop background (~200 pdf-files that I don't want to organize). So what do I like? BumpTop 3d! A cool 3d-interface for documents that utilises physics in order to get a good interface. It sounds pretty weird, but watch this video, it looks amazing and really easy to do things with your files. I only miss the file-preview, but I guess that'll come later.

I think BumpTop is a lot more interesting than the Microsoft Surface thingy, since that technology didn't have anything that surpriced me.

Segway revised

There's been an outrage about my post about Segways the other night. I claimed that Segways are for geeks but lots of people where upset.

Carlyle in Minnesota wrote: "I don't know what you're talking about, where I live the in-crowd all use Segways - You can do stunts with them, you can pimp them and here it's common to go cruising the city on them. [...] Segways are girlmagnets!"

Neil in Texas is equally angry: "I use them all the time while hunting. It's the best thing that happened to hunting since the rifle. It's quiet and fast, you can sneek up on a bear or a deer in notime, they don't stand a chance when I come driving on my segway. Also, the built in stabilisation system makes it easy for me to aim while driving. [...] Do geeks hunt? I don't think so."

A guy called Peter states "Segways are cool and I've got the proof. Watch this youtube-video. It's an extreme sport vehicle, just like the beach buggy, or a skateboard. I wouldn't be surprised if Segways are included in next years X-games, and X-games are cool."



After reading all your comments and watching the daredevils in the video, I agree. Segway aren't just for geeks, they are functional for cool people as well.

Cucumis sativus

Curve, originally uploaded by Leonardo Martins.

It's interesting when you realize that you've got a lot in common with famous people. For example, just like old roman emperor Tiberius, I eat cucumber every day.
They're not just nutricius (vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium, also providing dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B6, thiamin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, manganese), cucumbers are also biblical: "We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely/the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic." Even Charlemagne had cucumbers grown in his gardens in ninth-century France.

It must be good to eat cucumbers every day!

I love japan

I love japan. They've got the coolest tech-toys, it's clean, it's crowded as in Blade Runner and they seem to know how to have fun!


I found this girl's day at the beach: drinking cold beer, driving gocart and playing the drums! She probably fell asleep with a smile on her face that night.

Espresso (again)

Stopping Gravity, originally uploaded by karneyli.

Every once in a while I go to flickr and looks around a bit. Lots of great photos there, and lots of really bad ones as well. The espresso drop on the pic above is just simply great, a perfect picture of the perfect drink. I can't wait to visit a top class espresso bar for some great tasting espresso!

Espresso in Sicily

It's a cloudy day today so I've started planning some trips. Right now I'm really into Sicily; imagine sitting at some nice little café sipping an excellent espresso, reading a book and ordering a bottle of La Scolca Rosé.
Sounds excellent. Anyone who knows anything about wireless lans in Sicily? I know they have plenty of Scooters down in Italy, but what about their wireless?

Build your own Segway

I think Segways are pretty cool, in a really geeky way, so I decided to check out their website. It's pretty ok, and I was really happy when I saw the "build your own Segway"-link. So I went there and started to build my own Segway.



The people at Segway seems to have realised that only geeks love their stuff. "No cool people buy Segways anyway", Segway marketing said, and made an analysis of our kind. Conclusion: We really like led-lights. Segway have no less than four led-extras! Look at the picture, Segway isn't the biggest vehicle around, where do you put all those leds? Anyway, I couldn't find that out, because after selecting my extras (Police siren etc) I was presented a picture of a plain standard out of the box-Segway with "Preview does not show other accessories".

I guess I'll stick to my original plan and get myself a Scooter. But not the Hello Kitty Scooter:

I admit it, I'm a Widset Junky

For some weeks now I've been testing Widsets on my cellphone, and it's great!
Now, whenever I have som few minutes to spare, I pull out my SonyEricsson and check the latest news, read some cartoons or play sudoku. I could do all that in my browser before Widsets entered my Cellular Life, but for some reason browsers on cellphones suck! I never browse on my phone unless I really have no other choice, when I can't remember a phone number, a location or something, but mobile surfing is a terrible experince.

Widsets on the other hand, have a great interface - the scrolling is smooth, my button moves actually make sence, and the load times are shorter. It's the second best mobile application right after the Gmail-application!

Actually I like Widset so much I had to get a better deal for my mobile surfing...

Microsoft Surface Parody vs IPhone Parody

I know I'm not the first blog around the world to discover this, but I must say that this parody of the Microsoft Surface thingy is pretty right on the spot. Why did they have to do it so huge? It's really cool technology, but compared to IPhone it's nothing.

What I want is a 6 inch multisensitive touchscreen with wlan, nothing more, nothing less.

Maia Hirasawa vs the Mopeds

I haven't heard the mopeds for a while, but while surfing and listening to some music videos I heard some new nice, happy, naive pop: Maia Hirasawa with "And I found this boy".
It sounds an awful lot like the mopeds, a group that I used to listen to a few years ago. Listen to them both (awful sound quality in the mopeds vid), pretty fun...
