I just learned Dagny passed away; 109 years old. She was such an inspiration and always spreading joy. In her last blog post back in January, she wrote:
ser fram emot att fira min 110-årsdag i maj, gärna med en liten fest
Wherever you are, Dagny, I hope there’s a party. 🎉
Micro Camp 2022 is just eight hours away! 🥳 On day two, I will share a short story from my life and this one weird old trick that will make your future blog post more accessible.
I look forward to hanging out with all of you in the chat!
The snow made a comeback.
My list of books-I-want-to-read-before-I-die is lengthy. And that can make me feel… intimidated? Overwhelmed? So I decided to stop looking at it for a while and instead go back to the classic book pile. Three books. The next one is on top. Less overwhelming. 📚
One more from our ice escapade yesterday. And a unique behind-the-scenes look of yours truly, snapping photos in the most dignified and graceful way possible.
We went out for a photo session on the ice today. 🧊

Computed tomography scans of old Game Boys made me smile today. 🕹

It’s book launch day! My favorite author (and soulmate) just released her first short story collection. Does cozy Swedish horror pique your curiosity? Then go check out Sanna Lund’s Arkiv för upphittade anteckningar. For yourself or a friend. 📚
Bent over backward to get this view of Saint Katarina’s church ruin in Visby. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get this shot straight. My back must be crooked. 😅
Not for me, but maybe something for the 🖋️ community to checkout? 😊
A new way to build websites with pen & paper.
Are you yearning for a feel-good quick read about a bunch of quirky people repairing printers and other Apple hardware? Of course, you are! It would be best if you read LaserWriter Ⅱ by Tamara Shopsin. 📚
A couple of weeks ago, I finished Bubble. A nicely illustrated, action-packed, sci-fi adventure; seasoned with a pinch of social satire. The elevator pitch? Hmm. 🤔 Monster-hunting in a gig economy graphic novel! 📚
Here in Sweden, the word hygge is a clear-cut area in a forest. So that can cause confusion in conversations with our neighbors in Denmark and Norway. 😊
I love discovering the less talked about features in new iOS releases, like that you can get cozy rain and dark noise playing in your ears. 🤩 Set it up by going to ⚙️ Settings️ → Accessibility → Audio/Visual → Background Sounds.
What gems have you found in iOS 15?
Our favorite late-afternoon-wine spot on the in-laws’ porch. The weather was exceptional this weekend. The garden view was… interesting. 😅
