Nollningsdans i Uppsala

Idag var det nollningsdans på Forumtorget i Uppsala. Såg ganska bra ut faktiskt!

Sorry för den taskiga kvaliten. En kombination av jag som inte vet hur man använder iMovie och youtubes hårda komprimering.


Feeling less tired

Posted: August 20th, 2010 | Author: Joakim Andersson | Filed under: misc | Tags: | No Comments »

Maybe I have finally rested enough after the 22k run last Sunday. I’ve felt tired and totally unmotivated to workout all week but this afternoon was a lovely sunny late summer day and I wanted to go for a run but unfortunately there was no time today.


Spotify Premium

I finally updated to Spotify Premium! Mostly I did it so that I can bring the music and playlists with me when I go running as I just can’t be bothered with buying/downloading mp3 files anymore. That feels so 2009!

Sunset seen from somewhere close to Gustavsberg.

Watching this while having the dessert at the company’s summer party made the strawberries and ice cream taste even better!


TrailRunner and Dropbox

If you use TrailRunner and you use Dropbox there is a way to combine the two. That way you get your data backed up and automatically synchronized between multiple computers. Read more here: TrailRunner 2.1v467 — Synchronizing your diary


Stockholm Marathon 2010

The sub four hours marathon crowd.

On Saturday we took a trip to Stockholm to watch my cousin run Stockholm Marathon 2010. He aimed for just under four hours but unfortunately missed the four hours mark with 2 minutes 50 seconds. Not that it matters much though. He ran a marathon so of course he should be proud!

It was fun to watch parts of the race and I’m very impressed with the speed and ease of the top runners. Naturally the step didn’t look as light towards the end but they hardly seemed tired. I would have looked half dead by then…

Left: Isabellah Andersson that won easily. Right: Joseph Lagat that won with the great time 2.12.48.

Watching all these people running made me so inspired that I today signed up for Lidingöloppet, a 30 km cross-country race that takes place in September. I guess I better start training!


Trängselskatten ännu inte betald

Posted: June 2nd, 2010 | Author: Joakim Andersson | Filed under: misc, på svenska | 2 Comments »

“Efter fem år har Transportstyrelsen nu tagit över driften av trängselskattesystemet i Stockholm från IBM. Men det dröjer till 2011 innan allt är betalt och bilisternas avgifter kan användas till annat. Då har systemet kostat 3,1 miljarder kronor.”

Trängselskatten ännu inte betald – IDG.se

3,1 miljarder för ett litet system som identifierar registreringsnummer på bilder känns väl helt rimligt.

Living in Uppsala I’m not really used to mountains but we do have some a bit up north. It isn’t Gastlosen or the alps, but it’s still pretty damn beautiful!


Valborg

Valborgs båtar

De vackra flottarna som studenterna har byggt

Med tanke på hur mycket vatten det är i fyrisån så kan man fundera på hur många av dessa mer eller mindre rangliga flottar som kommer klara de två fallen och ta sig hela vägen ner.


Snowing! Crazy!

Snow storm in April

Suddenly in the middle of spring we got more snow.

It is supposed to be warm and sunny, instead it’s freezing cold and snowing. I wonder if the nice weather we had actually was a short summer instead of spring and we’re now back to autumn/winter again.

Wouldn’t surprise me.
