Summer break!
My dear friends, it’s once again summer and it’s time for me to take a break.
Lost – The End
The TV Show Lost has aired its last episode ever. Sad times for me, and I thought I’d talk a little about what it has meant to me. WARNING! Below I will mention things you don’t want to know if you haven’t seen all episodes yet.

Yesterday one of, if not the, best heavy metal vocalist of all times passed away.
The price of our hunt for better technology
We rush away in our lives, whining about slow computers and constantly have more and more demands. Maybe it’s time to take one step back and look at the consequences of our desires.

How do you value an experience?
This article was originally written by me in Swedish for Mindpark: Vad är en upplevelse värd? 
Experiences. We’ve all had them, right? Things that changed our lives, shaped us as human beings; they might have inspired us, or made us avoid something forever.
Hi Ho Silver – I’m back!
Wow. I can’t really believe these are my first words of blogging again in almost two months. It always feels a bit funny getting back in the saddle, but once there, I’m as happy as a butterfly on a flower!

Tomorrow, all of Sweden is celebrating Midsummer. If that’s a new concept to you, allow me to explain.
Four years
Not exactly today, but about a month ago marked my four-year anniversary as a blogger.
As we were
I’m sure this has happened to you as well: meeting an old friend you haven’t seen for quite some time, and you’re really excited about it!
Invasion of my public privacy
Today I thought we’d talk about privacy and how Twitter messages and status updates affects that in a manner you probably haven’t thought of.
My father would have turned 70 today
If he had been still alive, my father would have turned 70 years old today. All the things he did and feats he accomplished in his life has been very inspiring, and I hope to carry on in that spirit.
We miss you, dad.
The trip to Berlin and the Mozilla Add-Ons Workshop 2009
As most of you know, I was in Berlin last weekend, giving a talk at Mozilla Add-Ons Workshop :: Berlin (MAOW Berlin 2009). It was great fun, and I thought I’d tell you more about the event and the trip.
Bob Dylan club gig at Berns in Stockholm March 22nd 2009
Maybe some of you remember I had the fantastic opportunity to see Bob Dylan in a club gig in Stockholm in 2007? Last night, against all possible odds (and in under two years time) I again (!) got the chance to see Bob Dylan play a club gig!

About FriendFeed and FriendFeedBadge – present your FriendFeed in your own web site
Ok, so some of you must think I’m slightly retarded in regards to discovering new internet services. The thing is, though, that I usually test a lot of them as soon as they surface, then wait to see if they become popular, and if yes, hops on the train as everyone else. This time around, the turn has come to FriendFeed and the FriendFeedBadge.
34
Today I turn 34 years old. How old are you?
Going sailing
From September last year till this summer, I was working on a project which demanded some extra time and efforts, especially at the end before launch (which doesn’t), and the customer was nice enough to treat us to a reward trip for our success; basically, for doing what we’re paid to do in the first place.
Sweden becomes an Orwellian nightmare – the FRA debacle
During the summer, the dreaded FRA law was voted for and accepted by the Swedish Parliament. Basically, this law allows the government to go through all digital communication going across the borders of Sweden. Meaning, if I read my Gmail, do a Google search or whatever, they will get complete access to that information.
Nyman rides again
I’m back.

What’s in a haircut?
I’ve always liked hair. Beautiful hair makes people look fantastic, and I think more personality is conveyed through hair than we think.
In the line of fire
I just felt a bit too restrained with Twitter last night to describe what actually went down. So, this will be too personal and perhaps too graphic. Consider yourselves warned…

*SPOILER ALERT*. If you haven’t seen till episode 9 of season 3 of Prison Break, please don’t read this; it’ll spoil your fun.
Nyman’s on Twitter
Most of you know about Twitter, right? Basically, it’s a service where you write, within a sentence or two, what your doing at the moment, and then share it with the world.

World reflections
I thought I’d take the time to publish some short reflections on what has happened lately.
Best pictures of me in 2007
Totally narcissistic, but looking through the pictures from 2007, I found two of my favorites depicting me.
Goodbye 2007 – Happy New Year!
The year 2007 has come to an end, or rather, it very soon has. I thought I’d write a summary of what happened me as well as on the web during 2007, to have a closure for the year that has passed.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays!
The time has come again for presents, burning candles, Christmas trees, glögg, Santa and other assorted goodness.
Blogging is poison
Blogging is, indeed, poison.
IKEA – the home of break-ups
IKEA, one of the things that Sweden is most well-known for (except for hot blondes and shady movies produced some decades ago…), is so popular (read: at least well-visited) here in Sweden that you cannot believe.
At the end of the rainbow
A couple of days ago I was driving home from work, and I saw the most beautiful rainbow! It spanned across a fairly long distance, and I could actually see the end of it.
Whether to take risks
We all live our lives going through all kinds of stages, experiences and risks. What I wonder is if risks are worth taking, and if yes, which ones?
I’m afraid of happy campers
I want people to be glad and happy, I really do! But sometimes it can get too much…
