It’s a quiet afternoon. Everything is still. The temperature is soothing, so soothing that even the birds are quiet. Outside my porch there’s a big field of green. Beyond it lies a sleeping forest, and above it a pale cyan sky peeking through ice cream clouds. On days like this, it’s hard to ask yourself [...]

Yesterday I went for a trip to the big city. Big compared to my little broadband-connected village of 800 people, anyway. The Z88 came with (see ‘Technostalgia Defined‘) and travel time disappeared as I wrote yesterday’s blog on it. The purpose of the trip was to go to my favorite electronics store, but it turned [...]

I’m learning 3D, step by step. But I feel like I’m stumbling. When you get a new project to complete it all seems so exciting. This model is going to be my greatest yet, you think. But then doubt sets in. I have this vision of how it’s going too look, but then you hit [...]

Being new at this, I tried a few blog sites, but they all seemed to send me to a top 10 blogs list or, when I clicked on one of the blogs, many times you didn’t come to a blog at all, but some uncommentable newspage or separate site. Technorati was different, however. With two [...]

Just got an expanded Z88, a neat little ultra-portable from 1988 by good old Sir Clive Sinclair that does database, spreadsheet and word processing work – running for up to 20 hours on 4 AA batteries! It’s about Letter size, 20mm thick and very lightweight. Fired up my soldering facilities today, cleaned the bench and [...]

Faith is an amplifier. If you have it, or work at it until you’ve deluded yourself that you have it, it will help you accomplish things you never thought you could. Be it terrorist deeds or an interesting and fun invention or a work of art. I passed confirmation with flying colors, but in the [...]

…is willpower. The lack of mine is more obvious than the X-ray emission of a black hole swallowing a galaxy. Worlds change because of it. A person’s stature has nothing to do with it. Just look at Steve Jobs. Or Adolf Hitler. Or John Lennon. (Two of which I envy.) OK. I’m off doing concept [...]

…is the toughest. In this blog you will find tales of adventure and romance. When you get to know me you will know that was sarcasm. But I’ll try my best to contribute something funny, or interesting, or both in the categories you see here. The opinions expressed here are my own, especially if I’ve [...]
