Skysurfing - the nerdy way

I just lost my virginity. Well, don't get too excited: I've never before surfed the web and sent email/IM 10000 meters above the sea. On my way to the US I tried the wireless connection on SAS Airbus flight. Even though I didn't break any bandwidth records (it almost felt like I was travelling faster than the 1:s and 0:s) it was quite a feeling to be able to do all that stuff up in the sky.

The flight was to Washington DC so we (me, Bogdan and Pontus) just had a short trip to Greensboro left. But when we landed at Dulles it was almost like the gods had flipped a giant bathtub upside down. Heavy rain and thunderstorms made them cancel all flights to and from the airport so we decided to go with a rental instead. 5½ hours later we pulled up on the parking lot of the "faboulus" Comfort suites in Greensboro.

We're going to Asheville later this afternoon for a 3 day conference. After that it's flight straight to New York for 20 hours of fun and shopping with Gasse, flight back to Gothenburg on Saturday, arrive on Sunday, later that Sunday it's a Robbie Williams concert at Ullevi with my girlfriend and my sister and her husband.

I can't really complain right now. One small step for me, a giant leap for a Swede.

Superman?


















It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the return of my blog.
Long time no write. Where the hizzle have I been you might ask - or maybe not, but then again, why the hizzle are you reading this blog for? (Apparently I've turned ghetto-rapper.)

To sum it up I've been doing things that fall under two categories:
1. usual stuff - the kind of activities that are filed under "everyday life".
2. unusual stuff - the kind of activities that makes life dandy.

travel-wize I've been to Johannesburg, Singapore and St. Tropez. The first two for work, the third for fun.
