Today, Erik Lindenius pointed me towards this great TedTalk from the author Susan Cain. I think her video is worth a watch, not just because I’m an introvert myself, but [...]

Thank you Isabelle Edlund for capturing some of the moments! A park, intelligent conversation and wine. Where can you rent a rooftop for a release party in Stockholm? Camilla Eriksson, Retorikiska.

Twin Peaks. Oh, how I loved everything about that magical place growing up. Scary, sure, but also very educational. You can actually learn a lot from Dale Cooper and the rest of the David Lynch-characters in this the best tv-series ever created. Use a left-right brain approach to solving problems.
