The secret of flying long flights with small children
My wife and I have made everything from 1 hour to 20-hour flights with our kids since they were born. During our flights I see people with screaming and crying kids and I just feel sorry for them. The latest journey (only 4 hours) gave me the idea of writing a blog about it and […]
Frustrated over locked potential!
Tim Berners-Lee says in this TED talk how his frustration over locked potential gave birth to the HTTP and HTML. If you for a second overlook the fact that it is HTTP and HTML he is talking about. It is very interesting to listen how he, so different to everyone else, decides to solve this […]

The only problem is to filter out all the rumors and third-person or n:th person rumors and talk. So I stopped reading about people who used to know Steves dog-nanny’s cousin. […]
Steve Job Principles
I have developed this curiosity about Steve Job as person and leader. It is amazing that a leader of his magnitude actually produces, contributes and involves people both internally and externally. Working for a large US-based company this type of leaders is not very common. It fascinates me that Apple and Steve Jobs can reach […]
