Over the last year, I have moved all my non-code writing to Markdown format. I don’t even have Microsoft Word installed on my laptop anymore.1
An inspiring post about the greatness of Markdown2.

I’m slowly adding old posts to this blog. It’s the posts from henrikcarlsson.se and kalkyl.nu that’s now starting to show up in the archives here. (These posts are in swedish.)

MacWorld’s Serenity Caldwell has posted an article about some changes to OS X in Mountain Lion. This new backup thing interests me.
After having a terrible hard drive disaster back in college, I’ve been horribly paranoid about my backup arrangements. Mountain Lion will humor my paranoia by letting me use Time Machine to back up to several disks at once, automatically. And since OS X supports backup to networked drives, I can keep my files current in several physical places as well, without any extra work.1

This is a very interesting review from the Verge. Here’s three very important quotes:
What every other PC maker has failed at, Apple nails: the touchpad on the Air works better with Windows 7 than any other Windows laptop on the market.
[…]
Apple’s decision to use premium parts shows in the display. The 13-inch 1440 x 900 resolution panel bests most of the others in terms of resolution and pixel density. […] [It’s] also a very high quality display. That means that you can see what’s on the screen from most angles, and there isn’t any noticeable color change when you move the display back, like on the Folio 13.
[…]
And there’s more on this below, but the lack of bloatware really speeds up the general responsiveness of the operating system.1
To me as a Mac user it proves that Apples focus on premium parts at a premium price really pays off for the user experience. (Ultimately the reviewer concludes that the Air plus Windows 7 is a bit to expansive.)

As of summer last year I have been doing some hobby photographing, as a way to do something creative that is not part of what I usually consider to be work. A big influence for me has been the various toy photographies by Chris McVeigh. I’ve got a lot of old toys that I would like to photograph in interesting ways.
Via McVeigh I also found the equally great Avanaut and a couple of weeks ago he published a photo called The ”Ghost” that inspired me to take a photo of one or more toys in the snow.
So me and Linn went out for a walk on the ice on a small lake close to our apartment. I brought some toys1 and the camera and apart from just enjoying the sun and some hot chocolate we tried to take some pictures. ”Darth Vader in the snow” is the one that turned out the best, but still not great. The bright sunlight really reveals the fact that it’s a toy. I would like to try again in less light, preferably at night in the star- and moonlight. I also need to do a lot more reading and practicing on forced perspective to make things blend together better.
