Gym-moans and a nice week

Yet another week has passed, surprise, surprise. We’re making progress in our fictive business and it’s exciting to think of ourselves as a start-up. Now I’m sitting at Barista, waiting for my train to depart, four german boys are sitting in front of me, looking all backpacker-ecstatic/”the world is ours”. Nearly died on the treadmillContinue reading “Gym-moans and a nice week”

A three weeks week

It is Monday, but my head tells me it is time for a weekend. It’s good for me to be at code-camp during the weekends and kind of teach myself to exclude the need for a longer rest from my brain. Because when I’ll start my own company or whatever, then there will be noContinue reading “A three weeks week”

Makers Academy

Today my brother and I have had our first private-tutoring session. We feel very special ;)) Nah, but due to some last minute drop-outs we are the only ones in Code-class. The day has been long and full of information. I’m finally entering the world of back-end. Might be the end of me….But thankfully, ThomasContinue reading “Makers Academy”

Love & other stories

I’m in a new team in school, we’re doing a module called Business & Strategy (something something). We’ll get the brief tomorrow and so far so good, I am extremely curious about what we will be able to create together. After school I ended up on a stroll  at Slussen with a (not really) newly-foundContinue reading “Love & other stories”

The Digital Emotion of a Physical Being

That would be our project for Radiant Equilibrium, our kick-ass exhibition where over a thousand people came. It was something remarkable about letting people interact with what you have created. This is our project-film. Take a minute to watch, it is beautiful! The Digital Emotion of a Physical Being from Carl Sahlin on Vimeo.

Infinitesimal;

1. Immeasurably or incalculably minute. 2. Mathematics: Capable of having values approaching zero as a limit. Despite my English-speaking everyday life I find myself stumbling on words and becoming acute aware of my illiteracy. Project English-improvement has begun. I found this tiny word (above) and it’s beautiful! Now I’m ridiculously aware of what/how I write in this blog-post. Evil-circle.  Last weekend was rather mundane in all it’s uniqueness (please notice allContinue reading “Infinitesimal;”

Hamster-Wheel With a Touch of Rainbow

Added a surprisingly sweet section to my daily-routines on Monday morning, I ran 2km – 10min. Now I’ve done it for three days. I thought my bones would break and my sleepy-head would steer me intro a tree but it’s actually quite pleasant running in a dream-state.  Other than that the days move in a hamster-wheel. UpContinue reading “Hamster-Wheel With a Touch of Rainbow”

VAMPIREEN ’15

Last Saturday I let 60 people into my house to “celebrate” Halloween (Vampireen), or rather; a good reason to throw a party because of all the epic outfits.  I spent all of Friday night cleaning and then all of Saturday fixing with props, snacks, drinks etc. Later that night I stereotyped my way into becomingContinue reading “VAMPIREEN ’15”

If Mozart would go clubbing…

…I wonder if he would feel as misplaced as I did last Saturday when I voluntarily went to Collage? Although he was a little rowdy  rascal wasn’t he? A ladies man of sorts? Maybe he would have loved all those Stureplan-girls who go clubbing in big fat feather jackets (which stroke my sweaty bare skin in theContinue reading “If Mozart would go clubbing…”

Ah, weekend.

Went out last Friday to Bar Nombre at Odengatan (love that place!) and then spent the night in at Elsa’s yesterday, studying. We underwent an intense Friday, my classmates and I, where we unexpectedly made a deep-dive into our ethics and morals. Which sparked some interesting discussions regarding tech/design combined with creating something of value for anContinue reading “Ah, weekend.”

What a Day and Night

Yes! What a day and night! Our exhibition exceeded my expectations by thousands-folds. People were queuing for ages and there were probably around 800-1000 beings who came and saw our projects. My team and I stood and gazed out over our part of the project while people were interacting with it, we were filled withContinue reading “What a Day and Night”

Juggle life

Spent the day at Anna’s. This weekend I’ve been taking it abnormally chill. Felt like I ran into a tiny wall last Wednesday due to too many impressions and a brain which runs on top-speed with too little fuel. So I had to wind down. Spent last night at Sonja’s, with play-dough. Haha. We madeContinue reading “Juggle life”

Foodshoppers – rethink!

Let’s say you are in love with someone. That love object of yours is intellectually appealing, funny, and makes you smile big time. BUT, your love’s skin is covered with moles. Not big ones or too many, but still, moles. And why would that be a problem? You may think now, well, exactly, thank youContinue reading “Foodshoppers – rethink!”

A Pinterest for websites – POCKET

Widening my Internet-universe equals hell of a many websites, interesting articles, people of interest, intriguing projects, to keep track of. Tonight I found the solution: Pocket It’s actually silly what a relief this is, there are simply too many good things out there.  Just wanted to share. Bye.

An involuntary break.

This week has been incredibly intense with #societyhack15. We had 48h to come up with a solution for Transdev on how to develop the public transport, make it more attractive and encourage people to take the train instead of the car. Yesterday they presented the winners and they picked out 2 runner ups and oneContinue reading “An involuntary break.”

10 hours in the E.R

Headed out last night for a run with my friend. I was going to teach him running technique and then do intervals. During the technique lesson I put down my left foot and pushed away and all I heard was: KRAKALAKK KNAK Something went terribly wrong. It hurt of course but it was a surmountableContinue reading “10 hours in the E.R”

Our Independent Earth

There lies truth in the morning All dark except from shimmers of golden rays A humbleness to the world As if it awoke for the first time Unaware of the circle of past, present, future Of its’ inhabitants Of its’ issues You are ill world I’m not the first to tell you this The citizens ofContinue reading “Our Independent Earth”

DIY Laptop Table

Two hours, several machines, nails and grinding later – and I’ve got myself a perfectly unstable computer-table! My own legs act as stabilizers. Movie-watching in bed has never been easier! What’s more important though is the fact that the computer won’t get over-heated. The main-panel is an old piece of floor and the pillars are two pieces thatContinue reading “DIY Laptop Table”

Somewhere in a pile of a thousand post-its….

…millions of ideas and stress-hormones – you’ll find me. Almost the whole class went to Hornhuset on Tuesday night to support our eccentric, brave, brilliant friend Hank to hear him sing with his band EVA on their first gig ever. He jumped up on the bar, jumped in a bed, took his shirt off (theContinue reading “Somewhere in a pile of a thousand post-its….”

Lightning & Conductor – Such were his eyes in the morning

Did he ever know how his eyes sparked in the morning? Not at first, not those half-dreaming, limbo-sleeping moments, but then, when I touched him, gave him a smile and twinkling eyes – they sparked As if though a lightning hit them and catalyzed energy into them Maybe I was the lightning  Maybe he was myContinue reading “Lightning & Conductor – Such were his eyes in the morning”

Nothingness, how you keep us alive

We are literally nothing but we pretend we are everything If not, life would seem anything but worth living If only for a second we would taste the true spice of our nothingness, the realization of our blunt faking would hit hard as a volcano – shaking our being till’ we fragmented into all theContinue reading “Nothingness, how you keep us alive”

What A Weekend

After a long week at school with projection mapping, arduinos, Light Blue Beans, coding, 3-D printing, and a commercial at that, Friday held the promise of wine and fine company. We started at Queen’s Head, 15 people from the class, then we headed to Lilla Hotellbaren where more people joined and some of my missed friendsContinue reading “What A Weekend”

Commercial Filming

Was yanked out of my sleep at 4.45 and headed to location at Mariatorget to shoot a commercial. A quite easy shoot for me, few lines and what not, and despite that I got a tad nervous before we started. What’s interesting though is that as soon as I step in front of the camera, andContinue reading “Commercial Filming”

My new laptop-backpack by In Bag We Trust

I wanted a laptop-backpack, these were my criterions: – Leather with gold-details – Laptop-pocket – Big enough to fit my work-out clothes + lunchbox – Extra pockets I’m picky and buy things very seldom, therefore my perfectionist-heart took another skip when it found exactly what it had been looking for. I bought this beauty via Etsy from InContinue reading “My new laptop-backpack by In Bag We Trust”

Tangy Lime Tart by Hippie Lane

We celebrated my forever-young father last Sunday and for that occasion I made a raw-cake. This time I did not come up with the recipe myself but created the cake, oh sorry, TART, from the Hippie Lane App. I was sceptic about the lime/avokado mixture but with some extra sweetener and vanilla I got ridContinue reading “Tangy Lime Tart by Hippie Lane”

Fun times at Hyper + Our Manifesto

Last Friday was hilarious. Me and my team presented our manifesto = guidelines for how we want our time at Hyper to be and how we should be towards each other. An example: “The Mullet” – Business in the front, party in the back. Ok, two examples because they are funny and legit: “Eat challengeContinue reading “Fun times at Hyper + Our Manifesto”
