I won’t go into details of the trip since I’ve already done that in a previous blog. And partly because I miss the blinding heat and the cheap, local beer. But one of the reasons why we chose Thailand was because I got a project to redesign and code a website for Mekong Tourism – Read more

But when I had been approached by numerous companies in the travel industry, all with the same problem, I decided to make something brilliant.

Until now this tournament has never been problematic for me. I lived in England for many years and that’s always been my team. Through thick and thin. Come rain or shine.

I wasn’t at all prepared to have a kid at just 18 but when my little girl was born, who would later be named Agnes Eir, my whole world changed. I had this sudden feeling of responsibility and meaning and you could say that this tiny little human made me steer away from a slippery Read more

Well, actually, my soon to be wife did all the work. I just stood there and tried to be supportive. Oh, and I cut the umbilical cord. That was a first for this Icelandic web developer. What a weird, happy, exhilarating and joyous feeling all at once. Indescribable.  Our daughter came out with a bang Read more

I think I probably would have had a nervous breakdown by now if I didn’t have good people all around me that support me no matter what. Because, in all honesty, sometimes my ideas can be a bit crazy and out there to say the least. But that’s just who I am and even though Read more

I’m not one to brag and boost but damn, I’m so proud of this beauty. I enrolled in a guitar making class and there was no doubt in my mind which guitar I wanted to make. A Telecaster. The guitar of my wet, chord dreams.  I started this class some two months ago and I Read more
