Optical Illusion
Here is a really cool thing...Click the LINK to come to a new webpage.
When at the new page be sure to have the cursor outside the loaded picture.
Watch the point in the middle of the picture closely for about 20-30 seconds then move the mouse-pointer onto the picture and enjoy the magic effect!
Cool huh? ;)
BTW. the picture was taken by me in september 2005 in a place called Annecy, in the Rhone-Alps region of France.

A little bit about this, a little bit about that!
Hi to anyone that ended up at this page! :)
Today it is Saturday, the clock shows 15:25 and I am sitting in the sun on my balcony listening to "Matt Darey & Marcella Woods - Voice of an angel".
It is quite warm here and because of that I am letting my curious neighbours have a free look at my embarassingly white chest. ;)
Well, you have to start somewhere to build up the tan for this years edition of "Beach 2007", anfortunately there are no beaches close to where live but can't a man have a dream?
My laptop is an old Pentium 2, 400mhz with 128Mb RAM running XP, it's battery is dead but I am lucky to have a power outlet here on the balcony. It still does a quite good job as it can play music and videos without problems, I can surf the web, check my email, write in this blog and even Skype works!
Today a friend of mine is having his 31st birthday, at the same day we celebrate "mothers day" wich I must not forget by the way...
The laptop gets pretty warm though resting here in my lap, and then it is good to find a Vodka-juice-7up drink just by my side to cool me down!
I've been very tempted to get another laptop recently, one that is a bit faster and that has a working battery. The lappie that has really caught my eye is the recently released Apple Macbook "black", it is really nice and can run both OSX and Windows XP in dualboot. Only real drawbacks seems to be it's fairly weak graphics card, good enough for anything except gaming.
I've took friday of from work as we already had the thursday off and now I am really happy to have 4 days of leave joined together before work starts again. I am also looking forward a bit to my vacation that comes up in July (two last weeks) and wich I will spend with family and friends in Sweden.
Only thing on the schedule that vacation is the "Wine-drinking-party" that we have every half year and that will have it's 10th year celebration this year.
It is a good way for me to meet most of my friends and we try to set the date months in advance in order to have as many as possible to be able to join.
This party is a boys only thingy where we make som food and drink large amounts of red wine, the menu is always a chili-chicken made in a clay-pot in the stove (really nice by the way). I know it might sound a bit gay to have a "boys only" party but it is so much fun and we always end up on a nightclub in the end of the evening anyway. ;)
"Darren Tate vs. Jono Grant - Shine" is putting my speakers to some hard work for the moment... and I start wondering why I have started to listening so much to vocal trance lately!? I think it is the combination of the harmonies and the female vocals + the fact that I have always been attracted by electronic music.
If I were to choose one single group to listen to for the rest of my life I would probably pick "Depeche Mode", they have always been favourites of mine and have been going on for over 25 years now producing LOTS of music (their 44th single has just been released btw. "John the revelator"). Every album has been a new sound experience and their music has really grown during the years, not to mention David Gahan's voice! ;)
David were deep down in drugs some ten years ago, so deep in fact that his heart stopped for some time before he could be revived. Today he is clean and still going strong. I can't help the fact that I really think some of thhe music made in the "dark years" are some of their best - take the album "Violator" as an example.
Now my second drink is almost finished and I will go to prepare a third one...
Love to all!

MATRIX - Blue LED Watch
I am bidding on EBAY for a new watch!"An impressive brilliant blue Genuine LED wirebond display with visible circuit board and incredibly unique mirror lens. Time or date will only display when a button is pushed...so in normal state...all you see is a mirrored watch. Suitable for retro collector, pimp or techno geek...this is top shelf collectible chrono gadget. Reliable and consistent, the large display is as easy to read in the dark of night as it is on a sunny day (an improvement over vintage LED displays!). Featuring a sleek, space age/retro design inspired by 1970s icons Pulsar, Hamilton, Wittnaeur etc."

New blog layout!
Today I have been playing around with the "theme" -colors for my blog in order to have a nicer and more warm feeling to it. In the picture you can see how my blog looked before the change.It was a lot of fiddling around before I got what I wanted but I am really satisfied with the end-result. :)
I am thinking of more things to add to my blog but at the moment no new ideas spring to my mind...

Going to Sweden over easter!
9 days left!I am leaving Geneva at lunchtime on the 13th of April to visit my family and friends in Sweden and will be back here again on the 18th. The reason is that I found a quite cheap ticket with SAS and most of my friends will be away anyway.
Does this mean I will experience winter another time this year?
From what I have heard it has been cold and a lot of snow in my home town region lately and people are frustrated that spring has yet not arrived!
Anyway, it's going to be nice to have some relaxing days with good food (mummy's) before work starts to get serious down here again... :)

MIO A701 Smartphone/GPS
After plenty of webresearch, I am getting more and more interested in one of these machines now.It is a little bit pricey with it's ~€650. I have been looking into getting a GPS for my car for quite some time now, maybe this could be what I have been looking for!?
The included GPS software brings detailed maps for 22 european countries on a DVD wich can be transferred when needed to the phone.
The phone lacks built in wifi (wich is a letdown) but that could be fixed with a SPECTEC SDIO wifi-card that can fit in the SDIO-slot on the phone.
The Mio A701 smartphone incorporates a SirFStar III GPS receiver, mobile phone and PDA functions into one compact ~(150g), distinctive product.
It is based on the Intel PXA270 processor running at 520MHz and has a 2.7-inch touchscreen, which is capable of displaying a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels.
It runs Windows Mobile 5.0 which provides new features including persistent memory and the latest office applications Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Media Player 10.
Memory is catered for with a total memory of 192MB which is split in 128MB of ROM and 64MB RAM. An SD/MMC memory card slot (SDIO) can boost that to 2GB.
Other features are Bluetooth 1.2, a 1.3 Megapixel camera and a navigation system with an incorporated SiRFstar III GPS receiver which is capable of quick, reliable satellite fixes.
It's Tri-Band (900/1800/1900) GSM/GPRS phone functionality ensures that the A701 can be used in most countries and for internet/e-mail access and offers up to 4 hours talktime and up to 200 hours standby.
Along with simultaneous calling and navigation when using MioMap v2, a pedestrian mode to help you explore cities without losing track, one touch calling of points of interest (restaurants, cinemas etc) and in case you do get lost, the ability to text your GPS co-ordinates it makes you wonder how you have managed to live your life without one up til now. :)

Happy 30th Birthday
Well done Steve Jobs with employees!
You've been in business in 30 years now and are doing better than ever, introduced INTEL processors in your computers, launched OSX and the most successful mediaplayer in the world, IPOD. iTunes are selling loads of music and Mac-Mini's are damn sexy!
My first computer was an Apple II+ and the year was 1983, it was simpler then... 1Mhz CPU, 48Kb Ram and a green amber monitor with a resolution I cannot even remember!?
But ever since then I have been hooked to computers and I wouldn't have made it to where I am today if it wasn't for you - Thank You!

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Since a few days I have been playing the PC-game "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" by Bethesda Softworks, this game is truly breathtaking! The size of the gameworld is incredible and has really to be experienced to be understood!
I must admit I got really sucked into it yesterday, came home from work at around 17.30 and played more or less non-stop until 23.30 (with a small break for a dinner-snack).
It is absolutely immense and fun-fucking-tasticly gourgeous!

Tickle.com
What www.tickle.com says about...
A suitable job for me:
Your right job will allow you to be Creative and Practical Creative
You're a visionary in many people's eyes — able to think outside the box to come up with your own solutions. You are not necessarily creative in the artistic sense, but because you can expand your mind to do things differently it might take a while for colleagues to recognise and reward you for your entrepreneurial spirit and abilities.
You make it hard for people to pigeon hole you so you need a job that allows you to play to your strengths, break out of the mould, and truly excel.
Great Jobs For You
Because of the way you process information, these are just some of the many careers in which you could excel:
* Physicists
* Chess player
* City planner
* Astronomer
* Physicists
* Mathematician
* Researcher
Some of Your Greatest Talents
You've got tons of strengths. It wouldn't surprise us if you:
* Can give practical application to abstract thought
* Can predict patterns
* Are resourceful & practical
* Envision the "big picture"
You have a strong ability to process visual-spatial and mathematical information. These skills combined with your strengths in logic are what make you a Visual Mathematician.
You're able to understand patterns visually and in numbers. That means your mind can create a mental picture for any problem. In addition to that skill, you possess an intelligence that allows you to apply math to that picture, too. That helps you manipulate multiple parts of the picture (or problem) to come up with a solution.
You have many skills that are critical to success and problem-solving. Your talents help you understand the "big picture," which is partly why people may turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. You flourish in environments where tasks are clearly defined, and you are a whiz at improving processes and making things more efficient. Your ability to detect patterns and your skills in math and logic, make it natural for you to come up with ideas and theories that simplify processes for everyone.
Outside of work, Visual Mathematicians tend to do well at strategic activities like chess. It must be that ability to recognize patterns — both as they are and how they develop. Regardless of how you put your mind to use, you've got a great set of talents. You will be able to envision a clear path and calculate the risks, and more importantly, the rewards, of anything you take on.
According to their tests my IQ is 127 and I am a "Visual Mathmatician" - isn't that just great! :)
Maybe I should change job and be that chessplayer I have always dreamt of? *LOL*
