I got myself a new watch yesterday. The battery ran out a few days in my old watch. So why didn’t I just change the battery. Well the old clock was 15 €, a battery change costs 8-10 € and my new watch was 5, 90 €. You do the math.

Hello
After 10 days of vacation, 4 evening shifts and one day off it’s somewhat difficult to get up around 6 every morning (actually morning 3 out of 4)…

A lot
I brought coffee bread, the other guy that works here brought coffee bread and the guys that have been working on our computer system here today brought coffee bread. Then I made a Greek salad and took some lasagne with me for “dinner” (well the food you eat in the evening is called dinner) at work. Something tells me I will be rolling home…

Back at work
Well I’m back at work after my ten days off. The first few days I had some problems with doing nothing. But last week I’ve been getting up around noon. Then getting a shower, going out walking the dog, getting something to eat, playing some WoW…

I thought I would be nice to my dog
I thought I would be nice to my dog and buy her a chewing bone, you know those that are made of animal skin. Usually it takes her a couple of days up to two weeks to eat one of those.
Discovery is back
I admit it; I can’t live without Mythbusters or American Chopper on my TV. On Finnish TV you can watch them once a week but on Discovery you can watch them daily. So I cancelled the two Swedish channels ZTV and TV3 that was 4.40 € per month and Instead I got the Discovery channel package which contains 4 Discovery channels and Animal planet for 9.90 €. There is however one problem, I might start watching to much TV ;-).

Beware, the common people are blogging!!!
There are also complains about web-based blogs. The “real” bloggers use software blogs.
I’ve also read articles by journalists that explain how meaningless blogs are and that they give the illusion to common people that they can write and that blogs can’t be compared to real journalists’ work.
One of my former readers also stated that she no longer reads my blog because she can’t stand reading another line about what I had for breakfast or what shift I work. Well good for you.
Blogs are a true revolution. Rich people, poor people, smart people, dumb people… They are all writing blogs. As always when it comes to the internet, geeks in their thirties and forties have led the way. And as always once there is a way people will come. Blogs are no longer written only by the 37 year old geek writing a review about the latest Graphics card from Nvidia and read by other geeks.
People are writing about their daily lives, sometimes about their innermost feelings and sometimes about truly mundane things, like what they had for breakfast. Sometimes they write anonymous blogs and sometimes they write down their name and put up a picture. It’s their choice how they do it and if someone wants to read my blog I welcome Thee, if you don’t well it’s you loss.
And journalists, well there are people that are writing better than you and get out news stories faster than you and they do it for free, and for their own interest. Yes if I was a journalist I would be worried.
As for choice of blog platform, it all depends on kind of readers you want, the elitist snobs on Typepad that want you to feel honoured to be in their presence or the common people over at Blogger or MySpace. I prefer the last two, what about you?
Beware, the common people are blogging!!!

The White House
You know the television series”The White House”. It’s American, it’s political and I like it. What’s wrong with me?

I can’t make up my mind
Well, I probably will not write a post in Finnish today, or tomorrow, but when I do it’s nice to have a ready blog to write it in.
I also made the links on the “new” blogs more reader targeted, you know, Swedish links for Swedes, Finnish links for Finns. I also made the links on this blog more targeted for my audience.
I know I can’t make up my mind, according to someone who saw me together with most of my relatives for the first time, it’s an Eriksson trait. Well at least on this side of the Atlantic ;-).

Well, I know my blog isn’t always exiting or produce high level writing. But it’s my blog and wishing everyone a good morning is a way of telling everyone that I’m alive and doing well. It’s also a way of being nice, and that is usually a good thing ;-).

Too Many blogs.
Up until a few minutes ago I had three blogs on blogger. Now I have only one. I had one in Swedish, one in Finnish and this one in English. I already write a blog in Swedish at http://blogg.aftonbladet.se/5352 and another one at a member’s only website. Well actually I write only one blog in Swedish and copy, paste to the other two sites, kind of unnecessary.
With less blogs I can focus on the ones I have.
