Playing the Angel - the concert

I went to Depeche Mode's concert in Stockholm yesterday. OMFG. It was REALLY good. It was my fifth Depeche concert, and maybe the best. Probably as good as my first one (World Violation Tour in Stockholm, 1990).

I was blown away by the fact that Martin Gore has stepped up and truly become the main person in the band. Being there when he was singing "Leave in silence" yesterday, was one of my best live music experiences. Martin has definitely been taking singing lessons ;)

Gubbarna och Bilarna

I morse låg hela familjen och läste morgontidningarna i sängen. Efter ett tags runthoppande lugnade Max, 2 år gammal, ned sig. Han plockade upp Dagens Industri, lade sig på rygg och började läsa. Domen kom efter ungefär tio sekunder:

- Gubbarna och Bilarna!

Max återgick tämligen omgående till runthoppandet i sängen.

Thirty-three minutes of useful mobility

I have been going by bus to work basically every day this fall, and it has been a really cool experience. First of all, I am able to work with my computer all the way, connected with my Telia 3G card. The data speeds are more than okay. Secondly, it is light-blazingly quick. This morning was a new record: I boarded the bus 06.07 outside of my house in Vaxholm, and jumped off by Stureplan at 06.40. That's a 33-minute ride, which is much faster than going by car.

Happiness

Congratulations, Skype!

I just got back from a few days in Chicago, and saw the news that ebay decided to pick up Skype. Congratulations!

I spent about 20 euro on Skypeout calls from the US during these last few days. Those calls would have cost me 200 euro if I had used my cell phone. I wonder what it will cost me in five years time?

Connexion by Boeing

I am stunned. I'm sitting here on the plane, buying songs from iTunes (Stones' new album was released today), and downloading them. A song takes about a minute to download, and I am 33.000 feet over Greenland...
