Having spent the weekend riding some 1400 kilometers in the beautiful Norwegian fjord and mountain landscape, I feel like jotting down some notes and almost-reviews. Scala Rider This intercom system worked so much better than I thought when I first saw it. I bought a NeckMike system a while ago, since I wanted to combine ear… Continue reading Norway tour 2012 debrief

Preparing for the Iron Butt
The mission I intend to become a member of the Iron Butt Association by riding a Saddle Sore 1000 run – “At least 1000 miles in less than 24 hours”, according to the rules – this summer. The original plan was to ride solo, but now a friend wants to tag along as an introduction… Continue reading Preparing for the Iron Butt
Motorcycle season is here!
It seems I finally got everything on my Ulysses together, just as temperatures went up to summer levels. The kickstand arrived yesterday.

Motorcycle season coming up! (part deux)
So now I’m opening up my Buell, to get to grips with the charging problem that cut last season short. Status right now is I’m missing another imperial size bit. Sweden is great in many ways, but if you want to get hold of non-metric tools, it isn’t. Anyhow, the plans for the Uly are… Continue reading Motorcycle season coming up! (part deux)
Mac Mini getting even better as HTPC?
Apple Insider has an article on next-gen Mac Mini computers featuring an HDMI port instead of the current DVI. Since HDMI essentially is DVI + sound, the obvious application for this new version is in the living room, where, incidentally, I was planning to put a Mac Mini anyway. If this article is right, it might… Continue reading Mac Mini getting even better as HTPC?
