Fred Armisen Visits Stockholm
Fred Armisen of Saturday Night Live and Portlandia fame came to my hometown to do a Portlandia promo (apparently showing on a Swedish channel I didn’t even know existed). Luckily for him — and us — his profession is not in travel guides; he gets everything wrong in this short guide. That’s the point, I guess.
Music: MNDR – #1 in Heaven
No new posts from me the last few days. That’s just the way it is. This post: A brand new track — released on Jan 17 — from MNDR, the American duo consisting of Amanda Warner and Peter Wade. I’m really not sure if they are still a duo though, or if Amanda (MNDR) is going at it as a solo act, but that’s what Wikipedia says anyways. If you feel like buying it; click here to go to the record label. I can listen (and I do) to this track on repeat. Mostly because it’s good but also because my temporary neighbor is seemingly 99% deaf; his TV is constantly blasting through the wall.

iPhone Photography Blogs
There are really only two blogs targeted at iPhone photography that I follow on a regular basis (several times a day). The first one is iPhoneography and the second one is Life in LoFi: iPhoneography. They review all the latest apps and they also let you know when a certain app is free on the App Store. I rely on them quite a bit and heed all the warnings when an app is sub-par. Also, it’s nice to be a part of the iPhone photography community. So, if you’re into this sort of thing — go check ‘em out. Pronto.

Got A New Tripod
My supervisor/instructor at the wood shop gave me his brothers old camera tripod. It’s called SLIK 35D and from Googling the name it seems like it was made a thousand years ago — but it’s in remarkably good condition and a welcome addition since the one I already own is a bit on the cheap side (and rather small). The picture makes the tripod look like a mini tripod but that’s just the perspective — it’s full size. It’ll be a perfect companion to my trusty (old) Nikon D40.
