  • Ten Years of Blogging

    Today, exactly ten years ago, I wrote my very first blog entry.

    I guess I instantly took to the idea that I could tell people what I was doing and that there was an audience out there. Anyway, as it turned out, blogging wasn't a fad in my case. It's more, like, a part of life. 

    Here are few posts from my blog - a mini-walk down memory lane.

    This blog entry is probably one of the more dramatic ones, when I was stuck in my office during the terrorist attack in Khobar, Saudi Arabia in May 2004.

    This blog entry was the first one I ever wrote on a concert - Sting by the Pyramids. I've done quite a few blog entries on concerts and music festivals over these past ten years.

    This blog entry is about one of the most exciting and fun experiences I've had from the last ten years: the camel trekking I went on in the Sinai desert in 2002 with a group of ten people. This entry includes my Ode to the Camel.  Ten years ago, I didn't have a digital camera (did anybody?) and there are very few photos on my blog entries from this time.

    This blog entry just has to include the most nostalgic component from these ten years of blogging - a picture from the hospital where I was born, way up in Lapland - now a furniture shop!

  • Ten years measured in internet time is a very long time indeed. A very big quantity of water has been flowing under the bridge of life, and  The blog has been a witness of many of this happenings.
     Your blog is one of the most interesting one. Extremely well written, clear and easy to follow. It make possible to get to know you very well. Scary if you think.
    Thanks for exposing part of your life in such a way in Xanga.
