As previously stated here, I love flying. I recently got the opportunity to join on a flight that is typically not accessible to us civilians. It was a cargo flight where we transported mail from Stockholm to the town of Visby and back. I want to start by thanking my friend and former flight instructor… Continue reading In the cockpit on a cargo flight

Summer in Åre
Åre in Sweden is mostly famous for being a ski resort. I have for some time wanted to visit it and finally got a chance to do so in the summer of 2018, but obviously not for skiing :-). Here is a report from the trip, which can also be viewed as a review of… Continue reading Summer in Åre
Being aware of privilege
Sweden is a country where on average people live a very good life. However, here I would like to discuss the extremes rather than the average. On the one hand are the ones who have it extremely good – people who live a healthy life with a lot of exercise and a well balanced diet,… Continue reading Being aware of privilege
Fjord road trip in Norway
A road trip through Norwegian fjords has been something we have wanted to do for a while, but it always got postponed. Living in neighboring Sweden we perceived the fjords as being very close and as something we can do anytime. Which is quite wrong as they are roughly 1000 kilometers away from Stockholm. Anyway,… Continue reading Fjord road trip in Norway
Driving an almost autonomous car
After having tested an autonomous bus recently, I also got a chance to try a car that gives a taste of autonomous driving. It happened by chance. When I rent, I typically choose a small car, because small cars are big enough for my needs and they are the most economic, both in terms of… Continue reading Driving an almost autonomous car
Kokpunkten – ett roligt actionbad med en väldigt avslappnad syn på säkerheten
To read this article in English, please click here. Detta är en recension av Kokpunkten, ett äventyrsbad (eller actionbad som de kallar sig själva) i Västerås. Jag skulle vilja börja med att framhålla att jag inte har någon anknytning till vare sig Kokpunkten eller deras konkurrenter. Jag fick ingen ersättning för recensionen, utan baserar den… Continue reading Kokpunkten – ett roligt actionbad med en väldigt avslappnad syn på säkerheten
Kokpunkten in Västerås – a fun aquapark with a very relaxed approach to safety
To read this article in Swedish, please click here. This is a review of Kokpunkten, an aquapark in Västerås, Sweden. I would like to start by pointing out that I have no affiliation with Kokpunkten or with any of their competitors, and the review is not financially supported by anyone. Rather, it is based on… Continue reading Kokpunkten in Västerås – a fun aquapark with a very relaxed approach to safety
Driverless public transport in Stockholm
I tried the driverless bus in Stockholm today. It is definitely baby steps as far as autonomous public transport is considered – it is very slow and cannot go around obstacles – but we have to start somewhere. I am glad and proud that Stockholm is one of the early adopters and drivers in this… Continue reading Driverless public transport in Stockholm
Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia
Good weather at the end of March in Sweden is not something I would bet on. On the other hand, Emili being bored at home during a long weekend, is. And Easter in Sweden, with both Good Friday and Easter Monday being holidays, is quite a long weekend. So we needed to get away. We… Continue reading Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia
Did a smartwatch improve my life? No, it didn’t.
I am aware that there are spoilers in the title, but this is my small contribution to a click-bait-free world. When smartwatches came about some six years ago, I saw no practical use for them, and considered them to be to a large extent useless gimmicks. But roughly a year ago, thinking that their infancy period… Continue reading Did a smartwatch improve my life? No, it didn’t.
