It’s official, I have November-itis. Sympthoms include feeling sorry myself, not liking the cold and dreading being outside.

Halloween and November
Happy Halloween to those who celebrated. This is probably the first year that I actively participated thanks to a Halloween loving house mate.

In any case I finally gave in to temptation and decided to reward myself with a new camera. The choice was between a D300 and a D90, but… Continue reading Baby Nikon (D90)
When Apple meets knitting
I love it when two seemingly unrelated objects are perfect complements of each other. In this case it goes something like this: Indispensable object A provides much needed entertainment, background music and all around sanity during commute and work. Indispensable yarn type object B (with pointy bits and pieces) keeps my hands busy during commute… Continue reading When Apple meets knitting
