A running list comparing TV shows and movies to the book(s) they’re based on
I’ve always enjoyed reading books that I knew had a movie or TV show adaptation. It’s fun to see how others choose to present and tell a story that you have your own mental image of. I’ve kept reading, and studios have kept producing and I thought it would be fun to keep track. So…

ChatGPT och högskoleprovet
Har av olika och outgrundliga anledningar anmält mig till högskoleprovet den 5 april. Har också insett att Mediaprogrammet anno 1999 inte lade så himla mycket vikt vid matte, så jag tränar kvantitativa delar på ledig tid och misstänkte att ChatGPT kunde hjälpa mig, på en nivå som motsvarar mina förutsättningar. Och det gör den, den…

Feature request: Spotify twin users
The Spotify algorithm has always served me well, recommending music to me that makes sense to recommend. I’ve discovered artists and music I don’t see how I would’ve ever found without the help of Spotify. However, mycket vill ha mer as the the Swedish idiom goes, which lazily translates to “much wants more”. At times,…

Kia EV9: What It Should Do But Doesn’t, and What It Does But Shouldn’t
Tesla Model 3 come back, everything is forgiven. Not really, but also not NOT really. The Tesla, with all its quirky faults and strange quality issues (as partially covered in my exit interview), has spoiled my wife and me. The EV9 is not only the EV car of the year of 2024 but also THE…

TIL: Each shuffle of a deck of cards is likely the first (and last)
I came across this short video of Neil DeGrasse Tyson talking about how many different shuffles a deck of 52 cards can be. It’s quite mind boggling that every time you shuffle a deck of cards, no deck of cards has likely been in that order ever before, or will ever be again (before our…

Exit interview: Tesla Model 3
We’re on the last stretch with our 2021 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor which is being replaced with a Kia EV9 next week (I’ll write about that car too, don’t worry). I’ve held a lot of opinions about this car for the last three years and I thought it would be a good idea to…

Song of the day: GERD – Happier Than Me
Late 2023 I discovered Swedish artist GERD via Spotifys Discover Weekly. It’s one of those rare moments when Spotifys AI truly delivers value to me as a user. GERD is so right up my alley you wouldn’t believe it. That also makes her the perfect starting point for a perpetual series of “song of the…

Output, outcome and impact
A great ten minute video by Jeff Patton on how to approach product development by focusing on the behavioral changes you want in your users while addressing the uncomfortable truth that there are too many ideas, most of them suck and we can’t tell which doesn’t. So much in product development are either broken or…

What’s up with Google Photos?
For “we’re-printing-a-book-with-baby-photos” reasons I’m currently forced* to use Google Photos to organize the photos we want included. And I’m baffled. I just assumed that since Google Photos has been around for so long it would be at least a couple of steps ahead of iCloud Photos Library. But oh no. This service is clearly not…

Caving to trends
Friskis & Svettis is an institution in Sweden. A non-profit movement started in the late seventies with the goal to get Swedes to become healthier by way of exercise. All Swedes are familiar with Friskis & Svettis, it’s a very strong brand, in fact one of the strongest in Sweden. And they have this beautiful…
