How does it feel to be the first guy at the party? It’s kind of lame. There’s nobody to talk to, lonely in the corner you sit, sipping on your drink and look with longing eyes at everyone who comes in. They know. You know they know. You were there first, you’re that loser who’s got… Read more »

Do waste many a single moment
Life isn’t short. Life is the longest thing you will ever do. It is okay to work less than eleven hours a day. Promise. I ran my first startup into the ground. While hitting a wall. And bouncing off a speeding train when hitting a cement truck. Why? Because I thought working more meant getting more… Read more »
Google+ redesigned into Facebook
Google has turned into one of those “Yeah we’re just like Facebook, but with a cleaner design and without annoying ads. Can you invest half a million dollars mister VC? kthxbai” startups. This is a company making self driving cars for fuck’s sake, they should know better! Just look at the screenshots. Related articles… Read more »
Online, real names provide anonymity
There are 845 million active users on facebook. There are 500 million twitter accounts. There are 100 million users on Google+. Of all those people only one is Swizec. Three other profiles do show up when searching for “Swizec”, but they don’t have the account name registered. Nor the domain name. In Slovenia, there are… Read more »
Three cool things
In lieu of a proper blogpost today you get three cool things, because I have to pass two exams an hour apart. 1) Arrivals Arrivals is an incredibly cool Foursquare app – probably the best I have ever seen. The idea is simple, take your foursquare data, turn your friends into aeroplanes, make an arrivals… Read more »
5 months of blog traffic in 4 days
On Thursday I published my most popular post to date Why programmers work at night. After writing I was certain it wasn’t that interesting, sure it might be HN frontpage worthy – it never got there – but other than that I felt it wasn’t a very informative post, just musings of a hacker who has… Read more »
Shuush – perfect tool for all my twitter followers

The Twitters pitched 5 products, why I chose the first
A couple of days ago I decided it might be time to upgrade my time tracking software a little bit. I’ve been using Klok, an AIR based desktop thingy, for quite a while now and it’s getting a bit lame. Development has stopped some insanely long time ago and certain features are simply missing …… Read more »
RSS not dead, just misunderstood
Image via CrunchBase Lately there has been raging debate in the blogosphere (is that still a word?) around whether RSS is dead or not and the fact that it’s apparently been dying ever since it was first conceived in 1999 or thereabouts. Arguments range all the way from the fact that it is useless in… Read more »
Apple’s Ping is a big pile of steaming dung
A few days ago Apple released a social network. Gee, how bloody creative of them and they used to be so cool. There are enough social networks, too many actually. But I digress. Yesterday when I updated iTunes and got the slightly odd new version (what’s with the vertical window buttons anyway?) there was no… Read more »
