September 2021

After I set up this space, beginning of this year, I started a new job and moved to Sweden. The job was terrible and in effect I neglected my personal experiments and explorations, including this capsule. This was the second time I've lived in Sweden and I have a hunch that we just don't match ... so I quit.

Now that I have a new job and moved, I re-discovered gemini space. And WOW, it's so refreshing - again! Just today I found KONPEITO (1), an awesome "quarterly Lo-fi hip hop & chill bootleg mixtape, distributed exclusively through the Gemini protocol". I am so excited to sit in front of my "Gemini laptop", a 2012 Panasonic Toughbook, typing away and finally starting to populate this space!

I run, design and code.

Currently I enjoy the beautiful tracks around my home village (2) with my brother, work on voice interfaces (3), and try to wrap my head around uxntal (4).

- 20 Sep. 2021

In the past I've worked on things like haptics design software (5), digital privacy features (6) and a radar interaction sensor (7).

Before all of this I was as a bicycle mechanic (8) in the village next to where I grew up. There, I also ran a small recording studio for even smaller bands.
