Just received my new business cards from MOO, and I love them.

I’ve always wanted to order something from MOO since I have heard so many good things about them, and they definitely lived up to the expectation. The cards turned out great, they arrived fast and their e-mails are a joy (I’m a sucker for automatically generated e-mails that make me smile).

I’m Little MOO – the bit of software that will be managing your order
with moo.com. It will shortly be sent to Big MOO, our print machine who
will print it for you in the next few days. I’ll let you know when it’s
done and on its way to you.

Remember, I’m just a bit of software.

So, if you have any questions regarding your order please (…) contact Customer Service (who are real people).

The picture doesn’t give the cards justice at all, you will have to ask me for one!  They need to be seen and fondled IRL.

If you are convinced, buy after clicking the link in this blogpost and I get a little cut :D

Who knew renovating a house would take so much time? Everyone who has done it before, I guess, because they told me!

Did I listen? kind of. I’m not doing the hard labour myself; I am actually trying to build a business that doesn’t really revolve around home improvement. But it turns out there is much more to renovating than the manual labour. I kind of knew that too… The kitchen plan had already been ready in my mind for a long time. We will reuse most of the furniture, so that was also already decided on. However I hadn’t spent much thought on what material the bathroom ceiling should be, where exactly the electrical outlet should be, how many lamps there would be over the kitchen counter, how many cm the moulding should be or that it takes 8 weeks to get doors and floors delivered.

This year I have spent at least 33,75 hours!

How do I know? I have finally started tracking my hours properly using Harvest. It is not totally under my skin yet, but it’s getting easier and easier. This is why I wrote “at least”, because sometimes I have simply forgotten all about it and how are you supposed to track those hours where you can’t fall asleep because “What material really is best for those bathroom floors?!?!?”.

You might be asking yourself “what is bGraphic?” or “what will bGraphic do?”. At least that is what I’ve asked myself over the Christmas holidays.

• bGraphic owns half of Appelsin.
• bGraphic will make more movie apps for Mona.
• bGraphic relocates to NY/Bosten/Chicago/Ocean Grove for 2 months this spring fall.
• If I have a new idea, problem, product or service you will be the first to know!

Happy new year!

Many of my friends think I am very brave and special for not staying in the corporate universe of consultancy. They look concerned and a little baffled when I tell them I have no clue what I will make next year, but I’m sure it will be enough for the life I have chosen to lead.

But it seems I’m not that special; I’m just a part of a trend, at least according to U.S numbers. I must make a mental note to find numbers for Europe and especially Norway (where I live) as well. Read more

People keep telling me it is really important to have a goal in life, so you know what you are working towards and can measure it when you get there.

I have not decided how I feel about goals yet; but if I have to decide, a possible goal could be:
