A virtual beer tasting: Pilsner Urquell
I like blogs and the better blogs are written by people who are really passionate about the subject matter. Beer Sweden is a good blog because Darren, the guys who started it, clearly enjoys beer and you are not just getting some PR spin.
There is nothing wrong with a bit PR, but with a blog you tend to get an honest view from someone and when that someone knows what they are talking about, chances are if something isn´t up to scratch, it actually isn´t up to scratch and you will be told.
The Google car in Bygdsiljum
The Google car has visited Bygdsiljum and you can now drive down one road and to the top of the ski-hill, minus the snow.
You don´t actually get to see much in Bygdsiljum and Google has pretty much missed most, but it´s still pretty cool that you can have a little look. Maybe, in time they will come back.
Google enter the phone market, just not yet in Sweden
I've come very close to getting myself an iPhone but I've never committed when it came to committing and I put that down to my relationship with Apple. You see, it costs a lot less to buy an Apple in England than it does in Sweden.

Google feeling lucky, counting down to New Years Eve
Just visited a Google employee blog and read in the comments that there was a countdown on the homepage, if you click on the I'm feeling Lucky tab without entering a search query. So I had to have a look but it doesn't work at Google Sweden only Google UK or from what I can see, English speaking Google sites.

Final stages of setting up a new ISP
I say setting up a new ISP, but I've sort of decided against reinventing the wheel, unless I have too. You see, when I started out wanting to do this, I was told that it wasn't possible to set up a service for the village and that if we were to be accepted onto the portal to offer a service, we would have to offer it to the entire region. Things are changing though, so our plans have changed also.
Project Bygdsiljum First
A few summers ago everybody in the village where I live were given the option of getting internet access, but at the time, it wasn't a case of a switch getting flicked.
It involved lots of hard work and everyone that wanted a fiber internet connection had to quite literally dig the ditches and lay the fiber throughout the village and up to their house, to get it.
Beer in Sweden and an education on drinking beer
I like my beer, always have and probably always will. I went through a stage recently where I turned away from the beer and concentrated on my wine and it was nice and I've added a two bottles to my list of wine to have stocked, but I'm back to the beer and I've found a new website which is just the ticket.
Beer Sweden is a blog, about beer in Sweden and it is packed with loads of information so if you are like me and you like a beer but don't want to go through them all to find a good one, it's a great little site to get a few ideas.
