A toll fee has been introduced in August for driving cars into Stockholm City. When I took the bus this morning for my 35K ride to Stockholm I noticed that the parking lot at the bus station was full – and more. Cars were parked in grass areas and in ditches. A good indicator of… Fortsätt läsa Transferable needs of space

Lars Vilks, Swedish conceptual artist, has drawn international fame the last weeks. It all has to do with three drawings. Read an English summary of the events on Wikipedia. I once listened to Vilks lecture on his projects Arx and Nimis. The cool thing with this guy is that he doesn’t see the objects in… Fortsätt läsa Different dimensions of art

I’ve just started reading "The Black Swan" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. I haven’t gotten far enough to give an honest review of it, but so far it has kept me going and sparked some energy. The impact of the highly improbable is the subtitle. A fantasy that is building in my head is that something… Fortsätt läsa Highly improbable?

At the risk of becoming a little philosophical, and perhaps also over-generalizing, I’d like to share som thinking that has been going on in my head. The theme has been to explore what leads to a full life. I’ve come to believe that a full life involves moving accross the full emotional spectrum from hope… Fortsätt läsa A full life

TreeHugger has become a favorite spot to catch inspiration and news about stuff going on to improve life on the planet. If you haven’t spent time there give it a try. I find myself going back several times a week. Experiencing the activity and sheer energy at TreeHugger sparks hope in me. And hope comes… Fortsätt läsa TreeHugger

I love the promises of clean tech, green capitalism and whatever new buzzwords are flying around once there’s been a critical mass of people who’ve realized that global warming is for real. So, by just applying even a little more tech and a greener consciousness to the money craze our troubles will soon be over.… Fortsätt läsa Clean Tech?

I must confess, I actually thought that not driving a car at all was the best alternative for the environment. And that driving as little as possible in a very fuel-efficient car would be the obvious choice if I really had to use a car. But now the latest Volvo campaign here in Sweden has… Fortsätt läsa Yippeeee! Volvo goes green!

I spent the day in Stockholm City today. For many Stockholm is the power house of Sweden. Political and economical power resides here. This is where trends are created. This is where tourists come. This is where Sweden excels. Let me dare to give an alternative point of view. What if we were to view… Fortsätt läsa Stockholm as a museum

Carl Bildt is Swedish Foreign minister. His capacity – intellectually and workwise is impressive. The guy actually maintains his own blog (in Swedish). Informing and commenting on his work and international ongoings regularly – sometimes several times a day. He’s had 1.6 million hits since early January. The effect of this is quite astounding. He… Fortsätt läsa Coolest foreign minister on Earth?

The switch to English is now made. The last couple of days I’ve been updating the framework of my blog. As it now goes my general ambition is to write about stuff that brings us hope for the future. As every normal person around I’m going to fail miserably with this now and then and… Fortsätt läsa Here goes…
