Apparently the sun outputs radio waves in the THz-range, sub millimeter waves, so i dont think that this is anything to worry about. Also the strength of the radio waves comming from our devices is really weak, not at all in the suns level.
Yeah, sounds like the humans have made the crater. Not bad of us doing that under the ice.

Hat's off to the weavers, seems like they have infinitely larger intention-span than me.
I have 100/100 and always get 120% of that over wired and wifi (two unifi ap ac lr).

Also, i can't get the 10gbit where i live, so probably only the big cities connected to "Northern Light".

edit: remark about availability

My brain hurts!

Quiet by Susan Cain: realizing that i am normal, that my need to be alone is something that many other also feel. Realizing that its ok to be like this made me really emotional, sitting there on the train to work, almost crying of relief.. Yep, changes my life for the better, made me feel more secure about my self.

In a few years, we will all be wearing those VR-goggles that Wade Watts is using in Ready Player One. Can't wait!

Is that J an outlook-smiley?
It makes you wanna cry..
Yeah, why have an iMac on the site when you only have an app for Android?
Yeah, that's not correct, with my application Noterium you also "own" your notes, that is they are stored on your computer.

No, not really. It's more like "mhmm, a number, looks correct, on to bigger adventures!"

Problem: no note taking app suited my needs. Solution: write your own

http://github.com/ekblom/noterium

Write notes with CommonMark, save where you want (dropbox, disk), notebooks, etc.

Two years and counting, just open sourced it, why charge for it when its built with OS-libs. :)
