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 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.

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.

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.

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.

When it is summer, I´m looking forward to winter and when it´s winter I look forward to summer. Today, I was told our local cafe is now closing at 6pm instead of the 8pm it does in the summer. Summer is over.

But that doesn´t mean winter is here or that it´s freezing cold or that we will have snow next week, but it is coming and I´m not looking forward to it too much now.

The internet connection we get in Sweden is excellent and when you consider we're in a very small village, 60km from what would be considered quite a small town in England, and you get a 10Mbit download connection and a 4Mbit upload connection, you can't complain.
