Finished reading: Studie i mänskligt beteende by Lena Andersson 📚
I really like her books! She has a fantastic ability to capture people’s quirks in a way that’s both hilarious and touching.
Finished reading: The Innovators by Walter Isaacson 📚
Very interesting read! From the invention of the computer to the birth of blogs. Fascinating stories and fun facts, like how the terms bug and debugging came to be.
Micro.blog Rainbow Logo
Want to sprinkle some rainbow magic on your Micro.blog during Pride Month? Or why not keep the joy going all year round? Rainbows never go out of style! 🌈✨
Just hop over to ‘Design → Edit CSS’ and paste in the code below. I’m using the mnml theme, but it should play nicely with most standard ones.

Finished reading: Från Noice till nu by Peo Thyrén 📚

With great power comes great responsibility.
That quote came to mind as I was thinking about my new choice of platform for this blog.
Micro.blog offers many useful and convenient features: photo albums, a book tracker, sharing bookmarks, a natural way to post status updates, and more…
Finished reading: Be Useful by Arnold Schwarzenegger 📚
An inspiring read. Also some fun trivia, like Danny DeVito filling Arnold’s cigar with weed on the set of Twins. The book even made me reflect on my own blogging in a way.
