Working on the blogroll right now

You’re going to start seeing a list of links piling up in the right hand side bar under the Flickr photos.

I made a promise to you guys that I would have a blog roll up by the end of the month and with less than 120 minutes left in April I want to make sure I keep my word.

The one simple goal I had set for myself today, shaving my head, didn’t get accomplished. I seriously need to loose this layer of insulation that is over heating my brain.

Update: Done! I have a total of 153 RSS feeds, but I only shared the 82 that I think I should share with you guys.

Let the blogging begin

It’s 16:19 and I’m only now beginning to blog. I’ve been having a horrible headache all day and feeling incredibly sluggish.

The culprit? Decaf coffee!

Someone swapped out the good stuff with the beans that lack power. Now that I’ve had my fix I’m go go gadget ready to share some Nokia (NYSE: NOK) news again. Does this mean I’m addicted to caffeine?

Anyways, I hope everyone remembers Inspector Gadget.

Saving up for Spain!

I obviously haven’t been blogging that much this week. I’m not proud of it, but I do have a valid excuse: Spain.

I want to land in Madrid with as much pocket money as humanely possible. I’ve been putting in a lot of hours with my Helio related duties to make this happen.

Pick your battles, right?

According to my logs Spain is #13 when it comes to hits by country. Finland is #3. Point I’m trying to make: Is there anyone who reads this blog who would want to hang out or show me around Madrid?

Travel guides and forums only give you so much information, nothing beats experiencing a country thru the eyes of someone who has lived there their entire life.

My contact information is in the right hand column.

Just to let you know: I can’t speak Spanish.

Happy Easter Everybody!

All this food is madness.

Lamb, pork, more pork and goat.

The cheeses, the olives, the cases of wine.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I just received the best news I’ve ever heard … in my entire life

I wanted to blog this in the morning, but I had to get to work. I’m on a three hour break right now so let me share this awesome letter with you:

Hi Stefan,

greetings from Nokia (NYSE: NOK) headquarters in chilly Finland.

We’re writing to cordially invite you to the S60 Summit to be held April 24th-25th in Madrid, Spain.

It is a great opportunity to network, hear the latest developments on S60 and get a glimpse of the future plans as well.

You may have already received an invitation for this event and wondering why we’re writing again – Because of your much appreciated enthusiasm for S60, we’d like to invite you as a special guest!  Airfare and accommodations will be provided by S60.

Hope you’ll be able to make it!  (And apologizes for being so last minute, but we wanted to extend the invitation to you anyways).  Phil Schwarzmann from S60 will contact you tomorrow about flight/hotel/registration details. In the meantime please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

I’m highly, ridiculously, extremely thankful to be given this invitation.

Thank you Nokia!

I just got a promotion

Helio doesn’t deploy their own kiosks. They out source that.

My boss pulled me from working retail one hour into my shift and now I’m responsible for kiosk design, point of sale equipment deployment and basic technical support.

I just got a company laptop and I’m letting you guys know why I haven’t blogged today. I’m still in the office and should be here for another hour or so.

We talked … a lot. My throat hurts.

The old one was cold and angry.

I felt so good after taking a nap and thought my bad hair was quite comical, so I snapped a pic.

If you haven’t already noticed, this is my new blogging style

Twitter is popular because of brevity. I’ve always tried to express my thoughts in the least amount of words possible. It’s very Spartan.

I know all my RSS readers are going to hate seeing 50+ new articles, but scrolling thru them will be much easier.

Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum. Earlier today I wanted to make one post a day, now I’m doubling what my previous status quo used to be.

Experimenting is fun. I want to see my RSS subscriber count break 1000. That will make my day.

The Ring Nokia One Week Experiment: Premature death

I’ve been staring at a blank page in Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Word 2007 for 45 minutes, took a shower and an Advil. I still can’t figure out how to make todays news flow.

I could just link to everything and line up some witty transitions between articles, but then I would be nothing but a newsletter. I hate newsletters.

One of my favorite blogs is Scripting News. Dave Winer is the guy who invented RSS, the black tar heroin equivalent for information junkies. I love the way his blog is formated and that’s what I’m going to try and mimic today by playing with my theme settings.

Forget about the new style. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking.

Man that was such a stupid idea. Tommi was right.
