Weeknotes #10
The last weeks were so identical to each, they hardly needed an update, but finally something new. more
Lee Konitz
Saddened to learn that Lee Konitz passed away this week. Lee always had been one of my favourite alto-players and I especially I enjoyed his work with Mulligan, Marsh, Miles and of course his recordin... more
New Ink Day - Diamine Earl Grey
Jup, apparently that's a thing now here on the blog{.intro} I had been looking for a nice grey ink for use in my Bullet Journal as I start to feel the black I was using as too "contrast-y". I then fou... more
My long overdue "The Books I read in 2019
It's late, but the end of March is as good time as any other, or?{.intro} I'm rather happy with the outcome of last year's list and I managed to read quite a few books. As always there is a lot of Nei... more
Weeknotes #8
Since the last instalment of this series again a few months have passed, but I took a bit of a distance from the blog and my computer and in hindsight this was a very beneficial thing. It was good get... more
Weeknotes #7
It is time for a long overdue edition of the Weeknotes. Life and my newly found extensive journaling habit have kept me from sitting down and actually writing the Weeknotes even though I had enjoyed writing them. Yes, all six of them :-) more
And some more recently read books
During the last few months my every so frequent blogging-streak from the beginning of the year, turned into a lot-less-frequently blogging streak, but at least I continued to read and write a lot, albeit offline. more
The Thing with the missed Blog-Anniversary
The beginnings of this blog are a bit in a grey zone but I remember starting blogging more or less consistently in middle of November of 2007 on the photoblog platform Pixyblog (I still remember how I... more
The One with the new Pen - Part 3
I have been looking into a few more pens recently, and was looking for something that is somewhere between my Kaweco Student Soul and the Lamy Safari. I like both, but find the Safari sometimes a bit... more
The Case of the Full and Empty Notebook
The other day I wrote on the last page my Leuchtturm 1917 and with it filled my first ever journal. I filled 250 pages in two different fountain pens and altogether five different inks. For me, that i... more
The Road to Å
During our first visit to the Lofoten nine years ago, I was not able to take this shot with my DSLR and a panorama head for reasons I can't remember, but now I was able to take it with my phone. Our f... more
A Stop at Kabelvåg
After spending the first night of the trip along the way, we arrived, after about 24 hours of travel on the Lofoten islands first in the city of Svolvaer and a bit later in the village of Kabelvåg whe... more
New Pen: The Kaweco Student 70's Soul
It's a couple of months ago, that I started to get into fountain-pens and then got me a Lamy Safari. At that time, I hadn't used a fountain-pen since grade school and planned to give it a try again, b... more
Ramberg Beach
It was rather stormy that evening, and at one point we started to wonder whether the tent would stand the wind. Suffice to say, it did. Once everything was set up, I walked the 50 meters to the beach... more
Lofoten Beach
An image from the beach last night. This was another great place to spend the night. more
Weeknotes #6
The vacation time around here, brings it with that not so much is happening of course. One major thing would be my move back to Wordpress. I have written about my reasoning behind it already, but so f... more
The (other) One with all the Domains
There's got to be a name for that behavior, but I moved all things back to WordPress from Blot.im and with it, also re-directed all remaining domains to this blog. more
