At the end of days, at the end of time
When the Sun burns out will any of this matter
Who will be there to remember who we were?
Who will be there to know that any of this had meaning for us?

Let me join the line of fanboys as Mark Pilgrim paves the semantic way.

I am but a padawan learner in the ways of the semantic web, but I learn fast. Every now and then I stumble upon some new way of improving the semantics, getting me ever so closer to the Web Nirvana.

I knew that [...]

I’ve been talking quite a bit with Breki about Wing Chun, a martial art that he recommended, since he’s going to start training it this spring. I’m seriously considering joining him. It seems to be pretty much what I’m looking for: it’s based almost entirely on speed and dexterity, not strength. It’s equally offensive and [...]

I found a short editorial on Gamespy’s Game of the Year 2002 section, that was so good I decided to blockquote it in its entirety.

There was a time when adventure games were still not only plentiful, but actually dominated the gaming industry. In the early days of PC gaming, some of the most recognized brands [...]

Here’s a real one. No geek stuff added. Promise.

I will get in better physical condition in 2003. I’ve for a long time been thinking about starting working out. I really need to get in better physical condition. It’s mostly a certain biological feature of mine called “pectus excavatum” that has sowed doubt in me, but [...]

Darnit. Durandal caught a virus. W32.Weird.

I don’t have the slightest idea where it came from, but apparently it’s not activated until you run Internet Explorer, which I did yesterday for the first time in a very long while. I use Mozilla otherwise. Five minutes later, Windows complained about system files that had been changed. That [...]

Magnus and Cecilia dropped by earlier today and gave us some Christmas candy, a chocolate-dipped marzipan pig (is that a localized Swedish custom?) and a few bottles of cider (and Coke, since we’re geeks after all). Thanks for making me smile. Group hug!
