Object of desire XV

Go to the ICON 4X4 homepage and experience that special thrill you can only have when seeing an true object of desire and where you just know that "I really, really...really want one of those". Sure it's a truck and not a car. Sure it's unnecessarily big for your everyday commute. And quite surely there are zillions of cars more suited to city life. But look at it... Look at the paintwork. The suspension. The rapt attention given to even the minutest detail...

I'm actually finding myself trying to work out an equation including my carbon footprint where at the end, I can have one. So, if I ride my electric bike five of seven weekdays thus saving loads of environment, can I drive it to work one day and go on a little weekend trip, then? Oh, they don't sell them in Sweden? Well, suppose I sell my house and move to California, live in the hills and work in a vineyard...then can I have one? Please? Pretty please, with ecologic fairtrade sugar on top?

Object of desire XIV

2011-10-04T23:32:00.005+02:00

This is the DeLonghi kMix collection espresso-maker. Apparently, it's not available in Sweden yet, so I will have to
a) order it from broadwaypanhandler.com
b) ask someone to bring it back for me, or
c) fly over there and get it myself

alternative d) (not having this piece of art) is not an option.

Telling tiles

2011-09-19T08:56:00.003+02:00

My new hobby is creating three-dimensional objects of a datamatrix. I make them out of those small pieces of plastic tube the kids use at Kindergarten, where you first assemble the plastic tubes on a grid, then iron the whole thing with a waxed paper in between.

My next project is to re-tile my bathroom with mosaic...

Time for a new ride?

2011-08-08T00:26:00.006+02:00

So, I finally did something I never thought I would do. I've put my Honda Zoomer up for sale, and on top of that I'm offering to sell it for half of what I paid for it, just to make sure that band-aid comes off really quickly. Why? Because I want to have the new Ecoride Trend electric-bicycle!

Why? Because I love the concept of cruising into and around town in my tweed jacket, while reading a book...on the way to my favourite café... Or riding it to meetings with my clients, who seem to think it utterly and endlessly important to have the latest Range Rover/Ferrari/Mercedes or whatever. So much for that.

It will also be fun to figure out alternative ways to charge it. A miniature-wind farm? A solar panel on my roof? I wonder how long it will take until I have a Brammo, too...

UPDATE: It's been almost two weeks since sold the Zoomer and aquired the bike. So far, it has lived up to my expectations excellently. My next mod on it will be to replace the mudguards with recycled wooden blinds.

OK, I wanna go home. To Oz. Miss the surf!

Object of desire XIII

2010-12-05T19:01:00.003+01:00

I still yearn for this car! It's so cool... I think I'd go for the diesel version, as it has more torque. Air-con, leather seats and gear-shift paddles on the steering wheel. Oh, a decent radio with bluetooth for my Spotify playlists...
That's it! What more do you need?

Black watch

2010-11-18T11:21:00.006+01:00

This is the Seiko SKX007K2 WR200 automatic
Diver's watch. I bought it on auction at Tradera.se for SEK 810, which I think is a bargain. (On e-Bay it can be found for GBP 145 or US $230).My very first watch was a Seiko. A handwound 17 jewel which was presented to me upon starting the first grade at school. So, this is some kind of blast from the past.

Objects of desire XII

2010-08-06T11:10:00.004+02:00

I have desired these desert boots from Clarks for about a year.
They have been sitting in the window at Lester's shoe-shop on Södra Larmgatan in Göteborg, Sweden. Every time I've passed the window, I've had to avert my eyes.
No more! As of yesterday, I am the happy owner of this very fine pair.

Wheelin' an' dealin'

2010-07-07T08:51:00.003+02:00

It turned out the Durian 86a were all out of stock, everywhere. So what else is there to do but reassess the situation and just go for it anyway? So, a set of purple 4 prez 83a it is. I tried them out yesterday and I must say they feel cool, very cool! I've had to redesign my deck, which is now 101cm. It's been re-christened Purple Haze.

Now boarding

2010-06-27T12:21:00.005+02:00

As you may have seen in my earlier posts, I now have a pair of Holey trucks and made a decision about the Orangatang Durian 86A wheels. For the completion of my summer project I started introspection on the ultimate koan: Which deck ?

Just as I did so, the stars, by some obscure happenstance, aligned themselves in a metaphysical manner, resulting in a Facebook message from my friend Kim. To make a long and rather elaborate story essentially shorter, he sent me these designs and we're off building a batch together in my carport this summer along with the teenagers in my tribe.

A case for Magrette

2010-05-27T00:20:00.002+02:00

I never thought I would desire a hybrid watch with a japanese movement, but this watch (and the whole concept -great storytelling there! -of this New Zealand watch company is so cool!) is suave. I will feel cool wearing this. Not only because it reminds me of "home" and looks fantastic -it's only made in 500 pieces. Good enough for me.

My next set of wheels

2010-05-04T00:16:00.002+02:00

So, as you may have seen in an earlier post, I've already aquired a pair of Holey trucks. My next object(s) of desire are a set of 75mm Orangatang Durian with a 45mm tread and 86a hardness.
Why? Because I've tasked myself with learning how to slide my longboard this summer, and I'm hoping they'll be perfect for the job...

Yamaha Neo's revisited

2010-03-10T11:01:00.004+01:00

Well, I wrote about my Yamaha Neo's a few years ago when it was brand new. I loved it, and I wrote:

"This is one of the things I drive. It's a Yamaha Neo's 50cc scooter. I like the light blue colour, and I like that it does 60 km/h without much effort. On my premier-drive through the newly built Götatunneln, I noted something peculiar to that stretch of road -I hit 72 km/h".

The thing is, I now ride the new icon of future cool, the Honda Zoomer. It's a solo-experience machine, slightly rebel and just a tad geek. I actually bought it for its sound and because it reminded me of my childhood Tonka Toy heavy trucks.

But, I miss having the option of taking my woman for a ride into town once in a while, having the luggage capacity and sitting well...

I've thought of buying the überclassic of all classics, the Vespa.... but I don't know...
perhaps it's too iconic?

2010-03-07T11:47:00.002+01:00

My new favourites Superflex is a danish group of artists, whose projects are concerned with spotlighting democracy, power, consumption... The groups global projects raises questions about branding, copyright laws and the balance between producer and consumer.

Hotelroom again

2010-02-25T00:24:00.004+01:00

Attended a conference on salesmanship and how to become a better negotiatior. This is my hotelroom. Functional, but really boring.

Oh, well. At least that gave me a good excuse to fall asleep.

Icon of cool

2010-02-13T17:41:00.005+01:00

The Zippo lighter has got to go up on the list of cool things you must own. It's in no way perfect. You fill it with gasoline by removing it from the case and dripping gas (petrol) onto the cotton absorbent filling. The gas will evaporate eventually, so you have to check it every now and then. If you fill it too much, gas will leak out, onto your leg. This hurts!

Anyway, once you get the knack of this, you have one cool lighter. Now, spend some time watching Hollywood movies to pick up new ways of flicking it open and lighting it. Preferably in a lightning-fast onehanded fashion.

When is enough enough?

2010-01-25T22:50:00.002+01:00

Apparently, the swedish Lotto has now reached a record 183 million SEK. That would suit me just fine. The only trouble is, I wouldn't dare tell anyone!
I would have to take some time off to do some hard thinking about what to do with it all. Actually, I already have a plan and it goes something like this:
I'm presently 45 years old and I hope I have about 40 or so more years to go... Supposing I gave myself the equivalent of an annual net salary of 1 million SEK, or 83 333 SEK every month and therefore put away roughly 40 million to cover that, the money gaining interest.... I would still have more than a 140 million SEK too foolishly squander on philantrophy!

So; imagine the fun one could have, investing in whole villages, starting schools, enhancing healthcare and reducing extreme poverty... Wow!

Oh yeah, I pledge to the above if I do win that sum.
So, here's keeping my fingers crossed.

Obects of desire XI: The Omega Speedmaster Reduced

2010-01-04T01:43:00.001+01:00

For more than 50 years, Speedmaster has been at the heart of those great moments in time that tested the limits of physical endurance and human courage, including the first manned lunar landing in July of 1969 and every single one of NASA’s manned missions since May of 1963.

Ratos

2009-12-26T01:31:00.002+01:00

Just for fun: I wrote about Ratos on the 20th february this year. Then, Ratos stood at SEK 109,00.
A minute ago today, Ratos stands at SEK184,50.
Wow, I will become my own guru.

Conference in Båstad, Sweden

2009-11-20T23:04:00.003+01:00

This is the view from a conference room in Båstad,the tennis-capital of Sweden. Mainly, we discussed how reality is what you choose to perceive. Fair enough, given you have the option of making a choice.

Pieter Claesz

2009-11-17T00:40:00.010+01:00

I've recently become intrigued with food in an historical context. Therefore, I'd like to explore why there is so much food in art. Is the food on display something the artist actually ate, or does it represent something else? What did the food actually taste like? How was a meal composed? By whom? The picture above is by dutch artist Pieter Claesz (1597-1660), around 1642. The meal consists of bread, a herring and a glass of wine. The wineglass is very prominently displayed, the fish is on a pewter plate, and there's also a stoneware jug in the background. Is this a display of wealth, or is it just a meal?
(I also wonder if that really is a herring. Looks like a european perch (Perca fluviatilis) to me...

Objects of desire IX

2009-11-07T16:06:00.004+01:00

I've loved Clark's Desert Boots, ever since I lived in Sydney and went to Asquith Boys' High School, back in the mid '70's.

Since they're made out of suede leather, all you need is a stiff brush and a bit of determination of a sunday morning, to bring them back to new. If you haven't impregnated them with ScotchGuard or some other aerosol-based leather waterproofing, stuff them full of loose balls of yesterday's paper and you'll be dandy the very next day.

Anyhoo, I found these babies in a shop called Lester, on Södra Larmgatan in Göteborg. They will be my next indulgence.

2009-09-12T19:05:00.004+02:00

Saturday in September and I've just bought a new set of trucks from Holey. Rather dear pieces of a lesser metal, but as they are an important to my lifestyle, what choice do I have?

The little doodle of cherry blossoms at the bottom is my sketch for a new tattoo, based on the "Japonica" china series for Rörstrand. Thought it would be nice on my right upper arm. Or not.

Object of desire VI

2009-04-21T23:20:00.002+02:00

Philippe Starck designed this ride for Aprilia back in 1995. It's called the Aprilia Moto 6.5 and was produced until 2002. Click on the image to take a closer look.

If I wish really hard, perhaps I can ride this beauty next summer...?

Objects of desire V

2009-04-20T19:58:00.005+02:00

Nothing beats a pair of new shoes! I have a thing for suede shoes, especially desert boots and car slippers.
Combine this with the lust for life and colour that stirs
every spring... These two pairs could be the perfect cure!

At the gates

2009-04-20T19:55:00.002+02:00

I saw this wonderful little gate just off Biblioteksgatan in Stockholm, Sweden. The fencing and magpies (latin: pica pica) are all metalwork.

Objects of desire IV

2009-04-20T19:42:00.003+02:00

The Eames Plastic
Side Chair is a contemp-
orary version of the legend-
ary Fiberglass Chair. It was produced in collaboration with Zenith Plastics for the Museum of Modern Art in New York's Low-Cost Furniture Design Competition and was the first industrially manufactured plastic chair.
Since the 1950s the organically shaped seat shell of the Plastic Side Chair has been combined with various bases and produced in the millions.

Need I say this is an object of great desire to me. I can easily visualize six of these around my superellipse dinner table... Oh, the little coathanger in the foreground brings a smile to my face whenever I see it. It's quite an affordable way to boost serotonin levels!

A microcompact home

2009-04-11T08:51:00.003+02:00

The micro compact home (http://microcompacthome.com/company/)company have developed the m ch. It's along the lines of Werner Aisslinger's Loft Cube and both are something I'm extremely interested in. My ideal home is situated in a mid-sized city or perhaps within a 15 minute commute by bicycle, scooter or electric automobile. I have a vision of my Smart parked outside my tiny abode, with it's small garden including a khoi pond...

Bob Dylan in stockholm

2009-03-24T20:54:00.003+01:00

I zipped up to Stockholm on a monday afternoon to see Bob Dylan live at Globen the same evening. What can I tell you? Surreal!
I really don't know whether the man is a geratric freakshow or a genius. I'm hoping for genius, with a minimalist streak. I'll have to check him out a bit more before I can pass verdict.

Investment strategies

2009-02-20T13:44:00.008+01:00

My investment strategy for the next decade, will be:

Security companies
Medicine/biotech
Renewable energy
Food solutions
Greentech (such as waste management)
Base metals
Peer-to-peer (such as joint partnership with cottage industries in developing countries)

Countries and markets of interest are (in no particular order):
Sweden, Denmark, USA, Brazil, Venezuela, China, Great Britain, Australia, Thailand, Russia, Africa, India.

For Denmark, keeping it simple in the beginning is crucial. Therefore, I'd simply :
a) Take a closer look at Ratos. Their investments in Denmark are in the private-equity market.
b) There should be a market for bio-energy and windpower. I would look for direct investment in start-ups.
c) Just for fun, I'll be following this one: Kortnavn: ADSERV

Object of desire III

2009-02-19T00:22:00.003+01:00

I don't know if it's Darth Vader exactly, but still pretty cool! I could well imagine having this parked om my driveway. Just imagine: Just as my neighbour gets into his 5-series BMW that costs him a fortune to maintain, I pop into this little pod, and zip away before he's even coaxed his huge auto out of the drive...

The only thing I don't like about it is the price tag. Costing SEK 139 000 is about 50 000 SEK too much. Sales would go through the roof if it cost less. Also, it has to be available with leather and suede interior...

"Pippispresso" -designed for IKEA

2008-09-06T21:44:00.004+02:00

I also designed this espresso-brewer in 1997! I think it took about 20 minutes... Then I sold it to IKEA, who've never put it into production. At least it made me a lot of money, then!

Just found some of my old designs

2008-09-06T21:36:00.005+02:00

I attended a course in AutoCad and 3DStudioMax back in 1997. I designed these during a coffee-break. I couldn't do it as quickly now, but if anyone's interested in marketing these, I still have the original files.

Marooned on a sandy beach without my ship

2008-07-30T01:24:00.002+02:00

Aye, there was a lot of sand! A great expanse, as a matter of fact. My parrot had flown it's coop, my ship had set sail without me an' just slipped o'er the horizon, and I felt like a pickled crab without a drink*. Anyways, I found myself gazing at the salty sea. What else could I do?

*(Pickled crabs like a stiff Mojito on occasion)

I think the stripes make it go faster...

I rode my Zoomer (Honda Ruckus to all you americans) down to my
In-laws summer house, it's 100km one way. The distance is near perfect if you still want to keep just a little bit of cool upon arriving.

Anyhoo... I rode it onto the beach. Looked at the little quaint village at the far end of it, looked at the sea, smelled the breeze... Yep, a zen kind of moment can be had rather quick!

Celebrating Helsinki 458:th anniversary

2008-07-09T11:46:00.003+02:00

This was my view from the dictatoresque waving-balcony on City Hall, Helsinki. I think the gentlemen in the foreground are Thai diplomats.

This was a genuinely surreal experience. I was attending by special invitation only, but I could not understand a single word anyone was saying. There was a cold platter buffé with fish of every imaginable variety, an unending supply of champagne...
I left the party with my brain trying to make connections to David Lynch movies. I walked home to my luxury hotel, housed in a former prison.
The windows in my room were seven feet up, and the walls seven feet thick.
I slept, well.

...and here's the family version

I wouldn't mind having the cabriolet version either, but I'm so in love with the glass roof!

If I really need to have a car, this one would be the most sensible choice for me.

Brand new state of mind

2008-02-09T01:53:00.000+01:00

The final countdown finally ended (inevitably) at the big oh. Zero never felt better! Only minutes after leaving my latest mission and stepping out of the car outside my home, I had all the trouble in the world keeping a straight face until out of sight! Once around the corner, I just laughed out loud. Fuck, am I a lucky man to get out of that one alive!

Anyway, my way of relaxing is to cook. Salmon with saffron and coconut, some sweet potato and a sallad on the side with ruccola, grapefruit, sugarsnaps and sunflower seeds. One or two Red Stripe as you let rip in the kitchen is alright.

So, all I have to do now is eleven new things during the next two weeks. This will get my head screwed back on properly.

Utterly wanting to be somewhere else

2008-01-01T17:58:00.000+01:00

Thou shalt not, fucking...complain! This is the first commandment. Still, there is reason to.

The cool part about this brand new year, is that it ends with an eight (8). As we all know, eight is the luckiest number of all. Just as being a dragon is the luckiest thing you can be. Lucky me, then that the year 2008 is a Chinese Brown Earth Rat Year.

The seat of power

Imagine all the souls who have stood in this spot, looking in the same direction as I was when I took this picture. A hundred years ago, there wasn't as much light as there is now, and the place smelled to high heaven of rotting fish, dumped on the quay by fishing boats moored just below the lion's grand posture.

Here, Kitty!

This was going to be a post on a heavy subject. But then, what would be the point?
I realized that it's better to be positive and proactive. Thus, I'm pleased to announce that my family has a new member! Yep, that's her on the right.

Drink, I think

2007-12-19T10:13:00.000+01:00

I've just discovered a new beverage I have to try. Apparently it's available in Korea. http://www.jinro.com/

In my bubble between trees

2007-12-19T00:40:00.002+01:00

I just drove, tried not to think to deeply. Sadness welled up inside me. So I didn't. Think too much, that is.
Instead, I watched the brilliant trees. They were covered in powdery snow, as though dusted with sugar. I tricked myself into joyousness, almost bliss there, for a while.
Life is strange. I've got to immerse myself in it and do a bit of catching up.

Fishy evidence

2007-12-09T23:29:00.000+01:00

What goes in the bag, stays in the bag. Or does it?
What's he on about? Why is he in the car?
Why is this posted on a blog, and why do you think I'm watching this?
I thought I was someone else.

On the way

Even better than the real thing

voff?

New killer star

2007-11-14T23:46:00.001+01:00

All the corners of the buildings

Who but we remember these?
The sidewalks and trees
I'm thinking now
I got a better way
I discovered a star

Panerai

2007-11-11T14:47:00.000+01:00

I just can't let it go. Yes, I know it's totally unneccesary but, there it is! The Panerai 's just one of those things, you know? It has that alluring style and quality that fits right in just anywhere.

Screwy chic

2007-11-10T14:53:00.001+01:00

Yes, I do like these lamps a lot! It's something about the... ahh, latent violence.
This is definitely something I would have in my palace, were I a third world dictator. I would actually like it in my living-room anyway, but the price-tag is a bit....much. It really would be cheaper to just buy an illicit AK47 and dip it in gold yourself!
Hmm...!

Italian and Japanese students fascinated by
Ingrid on a sunny Saturday morning.

Guess the spot

2007-11-07T23:34:00.001+01:00

This is one of my favourite views. I like the facade, the choice of roofing material and how the whole thing is situated. Some of the corners are too
aggressive to suit my taste, but imperfection is dynamic.
From this viewpoint, there is an even more interesting building behind your back.

Dub

2007-11-06T01:00:00.000+01:00

Today is tuesday. Just three more days to friday. Oh, happiness! I will compile a CD with dub, get a dozen Red Stripe and spend a slow, langorous afternoon drifting into early evening cooking in my kitchen. Coconut and fish, small pizzas for the kids and something with lots and lots of chili.

Full sleeve

2007-11-04T21:21:00.000+01:00

As you already know, having read every posting on this blog, I like art.
Now, what better way to appreciate art than carrying it around on you? Thus, I've developed an (unhealthy?) interest in personal adornment by way of getting more* tattoos.
So, how about I do one arm full sleeve? Something like Russel Mitchells arm (see pic) perhaps?

*Yes, I do have one already. It's just like the one most every other person seems to have nowadays; A small one, often done in tribal black with some obscure meaning to the person wearing it.

I like the way you move...

2007-11-04T20:36:00.000+01:00

I like riding my Zoomer and listening to music while I do it! I'm going to like it even more soon, thanks to Polini...

Lots of trees and some fresh air

2007-11-04T19:40:00.000+01:00

I spent this sunday afternoon in the woods with at least part of my family. I brought along my standard issue army survival knife. It's the black one with a built in whistle and fire-steel. Pretty handy, as I used it to start a campfire for burning our sausages and marshmallows into inedible crisps...

I came home smelling like an arsonist. the sausages were good, though!

Re-creation or maintenance of my soul

This may sound a bit obvious, but doing something enjoyable is beneficial for your brain
