My leaving party

Just a quick thanks everybody who came to my last party in Göteborg. It was good to see everybody from Volvo especially. I will miss you all, and i am going to miss Göteborg too. of course you are all welcome to come and visit any time in Södertälje!

the NEW DesignerTechniques

It has taken some time.....but finally the new DesignerTechniques site has launched. With an improved structure, and a fresher look, i am hoping it is going to be very succesfull. It has cost me enough in late nights and coffee!!!

Olgas Party

Another party. Not much to say apart from thank you to Olga! Great party.

Monster Jam Ulevi

Monster Jam came to Sweden at the weekend and i thought it was too cool an event to have missed. I always enjoyed watching it on TV (although i dont think Wayne was so keen). Seeing it live was something else though. Grave digger was the one i went to see, and he didnt let me down...he won. It was interesting to see the cars up close as well though. They really are nothing more than engines with wheels bolted on. The body is nothing but a painted fiberglass dressing. The weather was great as well. In fact it has been in the 30s for the last few days in Göteborg. Nothing to complain about there though!!!

Glider Flying

One of the presents i got for my 30th birthday was the promise from Linus (aerodynamics guy from Volvo trucks) to go Glider flying. Linus has had his license for a fair few years now (otherwise i may not have went). The weather was absolutely fantastic, calm and clear...not to mention very hot. It was a long relaxed day, as we had to wait for our slot in the air...and i have to admit that i was very nervous. When it came our time i put on my parachute...which nobody explained how to use i might add...and up we went. For the whole 5 minutes behind the tow plane i could not open my eyes. I didnt actually expect to be that nervous. Once we were loose though i calmed down (the hyperventilating went away)!! It was absolutely fantastic, and very smooth as well. I managed to stay up for a whole 35 minutes before the sick feeling started. It is a little bit bumpy when you are trying to climb. It was a great day..with a great view. I look forward to doing it again Linus. And perhaps getting my own license in the future???
