Originally from the UK, I am currently living with Spiderbaby in the sub-arctic city of Umeå in the north of Sweden.
Currently I am working part-time on a research project at Norrlands universitetssjukhus and being a stay-at-home dad. At least until the snow clears, then I'll be a pushing-a-pram-around-Nydala-lake dad. In addition I am trying to make my photography hobby pay by making some of my images available to buy from instacanv.as or from me directly.
Interesting things I read recently:
If the London Underground network at rush-hour were a city, it would be the fourth-largest in the UK.

"If someone can work out how to hook up a chocolate bar into a cell phone, that'd be pretty good, because there's about 35 times the energy density in a bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk [than cellphone batteries]". Simon Segars, ARM

I am Pavlovs_dog on PSN and would be happy to link up with PS3-owning mobloggers : )
Too Much Information: The first album I ever bought was the Fraggle Rock soundtrack. Pretty cool, eh? I was only 16 : )

It looks like I can finally retire my old Lumix and use the Arc. At least until I can afford a DSLR!
FilbertFox says:
Are you pleased with it? I am considering an upgrade possibly to this model
crickson says:
I am pleased with it *but* battery life is an issue. Expect to have to charge it overnight once every couple of days - I guess I'll just get used to doing it after a while.
As far as the camera goes - it's excellent, as is the screen. I'm really pleased with the quality of images I'm getting. I really can leave my 'proper' camera at home now.
FilbertFox says:
but can i get useful apps such as the sound of a light saber, or new shoe viewer?
crickson says:
Yep, there are lots of apps on the google app store. It's not as well organised as the apple app store, but it updates my phone over-the-air without having to plug it into iTunes which is a big bonus.
