Now I am back in London after a short but amazing, even awesome legendary, weekend in Stockholm. (Sorry Backman for not posting this earlier. You should follow my Facebook updates as well). This Saturday we had our second epic party at YEoS Venture Lab. Approximately 180 people joined us for a allnighter with yours truly DJing, could it be anything other than a great success. Now I am looking forward to an exciting week at the chamber. Will step up my training even further. And I am looking forward to get to know my new neighbourhood since I have moved to Angel (Islington) in east London. Over and out.

Legendary Weekend in Stockholm
Sunday, August 29th, 2010Interesting Meeting
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010Yesterday I had I very interesting meeting with Ankur Jain, an American Sandboxer and founder of Kairos Society. Kairos Society is a global student-run non-profit organisation of students from top universities. Next to Kairos, Ankur is currently involved in a satellite launch and a Hollywood production and he has just finished ten weeks at Singularity University. Did I mention he is only 20 years old. Chris at Sandbox thought it would be a good idea for us to meet so that I could help Ankur to expand Kairos to Sweden. A very interesting meeting indeed. Who know what it leads to.

Gym Membership
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010Finally! I have found a gym membership that doesn’t drill a big hole in my budget. It was actually relatively inexpensive to be London. And the best part, since I signed up for a six months membership I got a PT for twelve weeks. Thx Nuffield Health. Even though I only understand half of what my PT is saying, because he is really Irish, I have really learned a lot. Apparently it is hard to bulk up at the same time you are training for a marathon. Haha. No seriously he seams to know a few things.
