A while back it suddenly became all the rage to use an app called Lensa to make AI-generated profile pictures of oneself. After uploading a few pictures, the…

Just a small assortment of odd closeups I’ve taken of creepie-crawlies over the years. I use it to gauge the quality of macro lenses on my mobile phones.

For some odd reason, I find taking close-ups of lego build fun and satisfying. When my kids make something, I try to frame a shot in such a…

After two years of hard work by my team and coworkers, I was very proud to announce and release our company’s brand new house/accommodation booking website, built atop…
Last summer I went on a hiking trip with a friend, sporting my newly-acquired ultra-light pyramid tent. This tent uses a trekking pole as a tent pole, –…
One of the downsides with a reef aquarium can be noise levels coming from sumps, pumps, and even the light fixture. In my case, the two fans atop…

Our weird cat sleeps in mysterious ways. And every blog must have at leat one cat post. Here’s mine.
I know (and have been told repeatedly) that I have a very strange sense of humor, one being finding dumb text or descriptions very funny. Even funnier is…

Many moons ago and in what must have been another life, I both played with, had several certifications in Photoshop – including two AdobeAce – and gave lessons…
Almost every night a small herd of deer visits our garden, and I wanted to capture it. So I made a small enclosed video camera setup out of…
For me, the fjords and mountains of western Norway represents some of the most breathtaking beauty nature has to offer – as long as the weather is nice,…

After a 3-year break, I decided to start up my Reef hobby again. I needed a diversion from my daily routine, and reef keeping is challenging enough to…
I had a bunch of leftover materials AND a mattress. So naturally, I had to try making my own sleeping sofa. I was pretty pleased with the result…
I got my hands on a large 3x4m. tarp, and checked YouTube for suggestions on setups. This was my first one, setting it up as a small, stable…
On a whim – and because I just wanted to test out the claims of the tent maker – I bought this one-person ultra-light tent. I was actually…
I love to fish. Wait, that might not be completely true. I love the experience of exploring the insane beauty that is the Norwegian outback, and hoping for…

We had some unused space between two bedrooms, and by closing it up with a wall, and then opening this new room from the master bedroom, we created…
As so many others, we used the first spring under Corona-lockdown to upgrade our terrace. Here are a few images of the process.
The interaction between clownfish and their chosen anemone is fascinating to see. They feed it, keep it clean, and even nudge its base to trigger it to move…
This series of photos was taken almost by accident when I noticed our cat hunting a mouse from a distance. I grabbed my telelens camera and took these…
Many games for kids these days seems to fall under the ‘get an electrical jolt‘, ‘slap my face‘, ‘force your mouth wide open with a dental-torture apparatus and…
