Soldering comics

I made comics about how to solder, based on Mitch's teachings. Get the 7 page comic book or the 1 page short version, you can use it to learn soldering, or as reference material in your hackerspace or at your electronics course or workshop. All free, all Creative Commons licensed.

Some previous fun

Around 2002-2008 I was active in the change-through-participation art zine/think tank/activist group Interacting Arts and helped make and publish Interacting Arts Magazine.

RjDj creates mind twisting hearing sensations by weaving your environment into music, using the sensors on your music player. I worked for RjDj in London from Dec 2008 to April 2010.

While in London, I lived and tinkered in the Shoreditch Hacker House.

In 2007 I produced the game part of Interactive Emmy Award winning project The Truth About Marika.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Computer and Systems Science from Stockholm University.

I’m joining CCP Games in Reykjavik

In May, I’ll be joining CCP Games in Reykjavik. CCP is best known as the maker of massive, unique and award winning space game and virtual world EVE Online.

This means I’m moving to Reykjavik, and that I’m leaving RjDj and London after 1,5 intense years of building a platform for reactive music. It’s been a privilege to work with and learn from one of the most driven and talented innovators in the music industry, Michael Breidenbruecker. I wish the amazing team at RjDj a great 2010 and beyond!

The CCP approach to creating games is in many ways a computer game parallell to the style and immersive aesthetics of the Nordic style larp scene that I’ve been a part of for the last 10 years. Player driven emergent game play is central, crafted and supported by world class game design.

This approach, and the many technical frontiers CCP are working on to enable these truly massive virtual worlds (and the agile way they do it), have me super excited to join the Core Technology Group at CCP as a technical producer.

I’m in Sweden for two weeks until the move in mid May, catch me for coffee before I’m off to Iceland!
