ULTRA-LOUNGE

It's summer time! Kick back, have a drink and listen to some cool music @ the Ultra-Lounge! See you around!

BLOG ON!

The USA Today newspaper has covered the blogosphere phenomena. [Via InstaPundit.] The moment AOL is jumping on the "scene" with a weblog product, and you read a Dear Abby Letter regarding blogging [via Corante on Blogging], you could be sure that blogging has reached an enormous broad popularity and interest among people.

James Lileks has managed to figure out the Blogger's Cycle.


For more cartoons like this, check out John Cox & Allen Forkum's book, Black & White World.

MUSIC

I have bought some new CDs. Jay-Jay Johanson's Tattoo and Jazz from the Fourth Floor with Jan Lundgren, Magnus Lindgren, et al. [Hat tip to Charles Murelius.]

NIGELLA LAWSON IS A DOMESTIC GODDESS!

I watched the first episode of Forever Summer with Nigella Lawson. It is a tasty cooking show! Who's your favorite chef? I miss the Food Network!

GADGETS & GIZMOS

Check out Gizmodo - the Gadgets Weblog. How about a wrist PDA from Fossil or a hiptop™ communicator from Danger, Inc.? [Via Sidney Cammeresi.]

HOT & SPICY

Are you a "chilehead"? I am thinking of buying Jonas Borssén's book, Eat the Heat.

FISHER SPACE PEN

My friend Christer Sjöback gave me a Fisher Space pen (#600BAF - Black Matte bullet space pen with American Flag) as a birthday present. Christer: Thank you very much! Please read The Story Behind the Fisher Space Pen.

MORE BOOKS...

I have added two more books to my reading list:

¤ Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. By Edwin Lefèvre. I think that this book will give me great intellectual fuel and a good preparation for my comeback as a trader on the financial market! ;)

¤ Guide to Organizing Your Life. By Donald Wetmore. I found this book via the blog, Jinn of Quality and Risk. I think that this book will be a great tool in my work to organize my life in a better way!

WWW.LINDESKOG.COM

I wrote the following on EGO, on May 7:

I have been talking about my own web site for some time now. I have now uploaded a plain and simple business card on the "cyberspace" address - www.Lindeskog.com. I used the NoteTab Light HTML editor. The site is under construction and I have to fix some things, e.g. navigation and adding some graphics. I am thinking of putting up some photos later on. Please give me suggestions on good web design and home page literature. I have added my site to the About category.
