Rubriksättning
Jag är fascinerad av rubriker på Aftonbladet.se*. I synnerhet hur tankstreck används för att tydliggöra exakt vad det är jag borde vara upprörd över. Idag ser jag: "Slog ihjäl 21 sälar - med träpåle". 21 sälar, det är ju fruktansvärt! Men vänta, vad spelar Read More...

Babyface
You know you don't look (or act?) your age (31) when you get carded buying non-alcoholic beer. I've never been this upset. Read More...

My latest pet peeve
It seems that absolutely everyone at Microsoft feels that they need to keep me informed about what they're up to. Why else would I get dozens of newsletters and status reports every week, from all kinds of teams and people, about all sorts of projects Read More...

Svämövning
Det finns en flod mellan den by där jag bor och Redmond där Microsoft finns. För en vecka sen var floden c:a 15 meter djup, vilket i sig är ganska högt. Idag är den tjugo meter djup. För en vecka sen var flödeshastigheten 1 700 kubikfot per sekund. Idag Read More...

Interviewing candidates
One thing I really like about my job is that every now and again I'm given the opportunity to interview a potential new hire. Yup, me - your average localizer - is asked to give my opinion on a decision that can huge impact on the future of both my group Read More...

Over the hill
What do you get around here when you turn 30? A big surprise, that's what. I came in this morning, saw some small Swedish flags hanging from the ceiling in the corridor outside my office, and knew that something was up. Turns out my friends here at work Read More...

Sleepless in Kirkland
I don't know why, but this spring I had the bright idea to go back to college. No real reason, I just felt like learning something, and I figured if I'm going to learn anything I might as well make sure there's something in it for me. Like a degree. Clever Read More...

What's been up
Yeah, I haven't really posted much for a while. It's been a busy couple of months, both on and off work. I had a lot of visitors from Sweden this summer and I've also had some minor health issues, so blogging hasn't really been a priority. At work, I've Read More...

Hardware review: Humanscale Whale Mouse
For a few years, I was suffering slightly from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This is self-diagnosed, of course, I never tried to get treatment for it. Can't go to the doctor for every little thing... Instead, I tried switching mouse-hand, but that only moved Read More...

Well done DC!
I've never been a fan of David Coulthard's, but I was geniunely pleased seeing how well he did and how solid Red Bull looked today - especially considering what a pitiful final race Jaguar had 2004. "My" team didn't score any points though (blame the Read More...

For our Portuguese friends...
Here's something I just learned about; a Portuguese Discoveries Theme Pack for Windows XP. As the download page http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/outreach/dnloads/discover-pt.mspx puts it: Show your pride in Portuguese culture! The Portugese Discoveries Read More...

Krya på mig
Jag har känt mig lite krasslig ett tag. I flera veckor, faktiskt. Det är delvis därför som jag knappt har tagit mig tid att blogga i år. Men man är la inte sjåpig, man kan la inte springa till doktorn för minsta lilla. Till slut lät jag dock frugan övertyga Read More...
