Hi all! 

I had a pretty good week, although the snow made me stay home from Neuro Rehab this week. I also had a delayed checkup of my pacemaker which was okay. I still have about 1,5 years left on the battery in it. Little known fact, the batteries in a pacemaker last up to 12 years!

I'm still on the hunt for another Newsletter platform, I tried out Substack, but the GUI felt like it was from 1999.... If Elon, in his Muskery, decides to keep Revue, I will return there, but for now, I will stay here as the GUI is really good!

Apparently, "The Internet Joker" Elon has decided to bring the worst people that have been banned back to Twitter. I think that's very sad; the bad days during The Trump era on Twitter might be back. Sad, but I'm gonna stay at Twitter as it's there I have most of my important connections. Read more here

  2. Still figuring out my next project, but it will have something to do with mental health and writing.

  3. Had e great meetup at The Scrital office here in Stockholm, check out the Twitter link hereunder!

  4. I stayed for a week with my fiancee, and it was great!
