How long does it take to fill up a shipping container?
Here's a thing you can do. Danish Modern Design is a style of furnishing and interior design that became a part of pop culture in the 60's. I mostly know it from Mad Men and the waiting rooms of high-end chiropractors. It's popular right now in Victoria and has been...
We Made a Boat
Last night we built a boat. It’s a viking burial-at-sea boat, and we’re going to use it in the funeral for 2017 on New Year’s Eve.
This is a tradition now. It’s traditional because I said so, and people agreed, and that’;s how a tradition starts.
The Order Form Controversy
I was impressed with my coworker the other day. At Japan Camera, we sell cameras once in a while, but more often we print out pictures of kids with Santa, family snapshots, calendars and festive mugs. Ben, the boss, shows up for a few hours a day, and Sue is my main...

Japan Camera, Santa, and Danish modern design
I got a job! I’m working in a print shop. It’s called Japan Camera, and we do sell a few cameras, but it’s mostly about photo prints. I’ve been there for like 4 days now, and it’s legit so much fun. People come in for passports, I get to take the picture and retouch...
U2, Berlin, 2017
(skip to the part about the concert, if I'm too long winded for your taste) It was 1:00am when Odin and I finally got to some dinner, samosas in a little Moroccan restaurant next door to our hostel. The conversation was getting silly so I finished with “tak for mad”,...
