Lately I’ve started to get a real interest in typography, the art of type design. I’ve read a few books on the subject and I realized that my old blog design could do with a few changes. So here it is, my new design, which is more or less only text based — although I will put some design in the top right corner since I feel that there’s something missing.

I’m also working on a few other projects at the moment. My main website, my portfolio over at silverglimth.com, is getting a complete redesign as well. I was first going to make it into a more business oriented website but since it looks like my company is put on hold I will just spice it up a bit.

A friend of mine is starting up a large project that will be released to the public in a while. It’s going to be interesting to be there from the start and make sure everything is working correctly before the big launch date. So far a few “sneak peaks” have been released, and if you’re interested you can have a look at this tutorial I made on how to create badges like this one.

Another thing I’m working on from time to time is a new website about one of my main hobbies, World War II. I spend several hours daily reading books and doing other research on this, enormous, subject. So far it’s mostly just reading books, searching the net and watching old WWII movies — but hopefully there will be some WWII-themed travels in the future. Not sure when, or if, I get the site up and running, but it’s an ongoing project I have for myself for now at least.

There are a few other things going on but I’ll reveal more of that later on.

Since my company is on hold for now I’ve started thinking about getting myself some higher education. Right now it’s leaning towards getting a Bachelor’s degree in Science, specialization System Analysis (and probably take one more year to get a Master’s degree). I more or less just need to figure out what city I want to live in, since I can get into any Swedish University I want (in that field at least). The only requirement I have is that Sanna will be able to study what she wants as well in the same city. I’m actually rather surprised at my sudden interested in getting a degree. I have my wife to thank for that, she’s so encouraging and very interested in getting a degree herself.

Happy Holidays!
