The mash-up episode

After some persuasion from you listeners I decided to try and get a show out today, and as you can see I managed. But it's a different show, with no Swenews or Swedish as a seventh Language since I just couldn't find the time to prepare those segments. But it's a lot of fun anyway! I tell you about a bed incident in Stockholm (picture) on wednesday and give you an update on the kitchen project.

Don't forget to VOTE for us at Podcast Alley! Just a few days left now of this month!!!

Music on todays show (in order of appearance):

Just wanted to inform you that I have now started a Flickr account, and begun posting images from our kitchen remodelling project. Check them out and see just what I am talking about!

The Podsafe Music Network is getting hot!

It's tuesday, the snow blizzard is raging outside my window (picture - before blizzard!), but in here, in the studio, it's nice and cosy.
Got some interesting news from the PMN (Podsafe Music Network) and Adam Curry who last week announced some major good stuff that will be out and running in a few weeks.
This show should really be called "The Support Show", because I share some tips and tricks on how to download and use Skype, and how to vote for a podcast at Podcast Alley. So I hope, that will be to some help for you!

I recommend you to check out Cloudy Day Art which is a podcast about poetry, at all levels.
Also check out Sunday, go to meetin' with my dear friend Garland T who just might be on the show today...

The cold stormy winter is coming!

It's friday again, so tonight I can dip my fingers in a fresh bowl of popcorn again! I love fridays...
I am saving up to buy an M-Audio MicroTrack 24/96, so I encourage you to visit the web store, just like I did when I bought this neat wall clock (picture)! I didn't know it would look so great in real life, but it did.

I recommend you to check out Typical Mac User which is a podcast for everyone with a Mac!

The feedback show!

So many people have emailed me since the last show. I just couldn't do a show today, without reading some of them for you. But all that is in the feedback section of the show of course.

If anyone has missed it, I was interviewed by Rob over at podcast411.com and if you want to listen to that interview, just click the button below.

A lot of things has happened since last time. The most prominent event is that Palm finally agreed to give me a full refund on my Z22 since it didn't work properly with my iMac G5. So there's a big victory!

The explicit show!

It's sunday, and tomorrow we're back at work again. Another wonderful week in the mines!
This episode of BTS should really be marked as explicit cause there is some cursing involved, but we thought you might be tough enough to handle it.

We discuss the remodelling of our kitchen, my beer experiences, Viggo Mortensen, drivers licenses, my Palm PDA, wolves, and we say hello to my sister Sang in Geneva - in swedish! Good luck in translating that... :-)

We recommend the following podcasts:
The Ponderplace with Travis and April
Podcast 411 with Rob
Keith and the Girl with Keith and Chemda

The superstitious show!

It's friday the 13th so we'd better take it easy today!

So the interview with podcast 411 aired on wednesday and you can go to the show directly by clicking the button below:

The remodelling of our kitchen is progressing, if yet slowly. We are now waiting for a certified electrician to come and take down our oven fan, so we can be able to tare down the tiles behind it. It's a long wait. I'll keep you all posted
The Palm story continues and I really want a full refund at this point. Palm's customer support aren't very helpful and I'm getting really annoyed now. I'll keep you posted on this matter as well!

I recommend you to check out The PK and J Show with Paul and Jeanette

Let's tear the kitchen down!

So now we're back to good old classic Skåne-weather, with grey skies, and some degrees above zero Celcius. But from what I hear they have the opposite problem in Japan! Poor people, I'm not jealous.
So we've decided to redecorate our kitchen now and this will probably be a recurring topic on the show, the next couple of weeks. During the show today Marie started taking down the tiles (picture) and that's what you will hear in the background, in the first half. And we'll be living without a kitchen for a few days, but we'll get along...trust me!

I recommend you to check out Mostly Trivial with Johnny Bee and also Sunday, go to meetin' with your host Garland T.

Screw my computer - but I still love it!

A new week at work which ended quite abruptley, cause we decided we needed more time off, and since we just let the last issue of the magazine to the printer, we thought we'de take a few more days off. It's been great!!!
And I'm having major problems with my computer. It's been working perfectly up until a week ago, and now suddenly I get these strange popup windows prompting me for authorization whenever I start an application. I've triend mending the rights and everything but it still doesn't work. So if anybody knows how to fix this WITHOUT formating the whole thing...please email me!

Back to the mine

So it's 2006 already, huh? I was so longing for this holiday and all my days off from work, but here I am now, right back in the cole mine again. I may reffer to my place of work as a mine, but infact I really love it. It's a great place to work and we have a lot of benifits, compared to other companies that is.
The New Years celebration went well, and I once again enjoyed the firework investments of my neighbours. Why pay, when you get it for free?!

On todays show we announce a new segment of the show - "Swedish as a seventh language" and also the previously announced "Typically Swedish" which has been renamed "Seriously Swedish". Also a little push for the Promotion Contest ending in february. Don't miss it! Great prizes at stake.
