Canvas printIn order to decorate my apartment a bit more, I started printing some of my personal favorite photos on canvas. This one is from the Roskilde Festival earlier this year (80×60cm). It turned out really well, and I even got a free brushed silver frame with it because they were in x-mas mood :)

My next project will be to print 4 square architecture photos for my dining room.

Nice… It’s the coldest night of the year so far, and my (brand new) central heating stopped working…

I’m so happy with my little fireplace right now!

study of the day

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Since you burn calories while watering plants, do you also burn calories while eating a sticky Mars bar?

If so, can you eat a Mars bar so slowly that you burn the same amount of calories as you actually gain from it?

If so, how long would it take you to finish it?

I think I’ve been working with diets a bit too much lately…

helvetica

helvetica I went to see the documentary Helvetica yesterday. It’s amazing how a simple typeface has infiltrated our world! When I biked home yesterday, there was almost no sign that did not use Helvetica. When you have a chance, I suggest you watch this doc, it rocks! Helvetica also rocks, selvfølgelig…

dulce de leche

Dulce de LecheI received a very unexpected gift from a good friend yesterday. A jar of Dulce de Leche from Argentina! Made with milk and sugar boiled until it starts to caramelize, it’s very lovely on some fresh baked bread on a sunday morning with a nice machiatto. It’s apparently being imported into Denmark, so go out and get it!
