National Geographic on food

Just fin­ished read­ing the Swedish edi­tion of National Geo­graphic (#6).
One arti­cle was about the global food market.

Last year, the price for food was exceed­ing any pre­vi­ous levels.
The reason for this was that there wasn’t enough food in the world to feed every­one.
This lim­i­ta­tion is some­thing that we earth­lings always will face.
How many per­sons can this planet feed?
Will we have to reg­u­late births in the future, as the do in China?

The air in Stockholm

I ride my bike every­day to work and back. It’s great! Stock­holm is adapted for bikes and there isn’t much cars com­pared to other cities. But even though they are few com­pared to most other major cities, they bug me as a cyclist. I grew up in Visby, where there hardly is any traf­fic at all (with the summer as an excep­tion). The air in Stock­holm is quite dense and smells ter­ri­ble of exhaust gases. This is espe­cially true if you ride your bike amongst them, as I do. So as a little exper­i­ment I will wear this res­pi­ra­tor as a pro­tec­tion against the dust, the par­ti­cles and the exhaust gases.

My respirator

At the end of this week (after three days of com­mut­ing) I will com­pare the images of the mask.
Sounds like fun? Please KOPIMI, and do this yourself!

‘I won’t let you die on me, Charlie!’

Yesterday I gave car­diopul­monary resus­ci­ta­tion to Sannas iPod.
After sev­eral blows, bends and hits, it’s little hard drive started spin­ning again! Hooray :) !
Now it looks a little weird, but it works as expected. Before yes­ter­day, it didn’t work at all.

Today I tried ash­tanga yoga for my second time.
I enjoyed it very much, and I’m already feel­ing that it would be too little to only prac­tice it once a week.
