Sunset from a family restaurant in Platanias
I’m back from a week in Greece. I chose not to tell you beforehand because of insurance reasons. I had a great time, both relaxing and getting much inspiration for food and drinks. I’m experimenting my way to the perfect frozen strawberry daiquiri and much more.
Being away from technology for week was easier and more refreshing than I’d expected. Getting back to my web habits will likely take some days, but I’ll hopefully throw up some articles and recipes soon. I’m also looking forward to my new iPhone project together with Kristian Hjelle. In his words:
Kristian Hjelle and Thomas Sunde Nielsen (That’s me) = awesome little application. In the meantime, enjoy your tea!

Sometimes you hear people talk about life-changing experiences. Maybe it was a trip, maybe it was an event, maybe an accident, or even a book. For me it was a book. More precisely “Crush it!” by Gary Vaynerchuk.
I listened to the book in audio format, read by the man himself. If you got an audible subscription, this is a great way to spend a credit. Even if you aren’t planing to start your own business this will give you a new perspective on life. But if your dream is to be an entrepreneur, this will be even more valuable for you.
So what does this has to do with the new design? I am planning to try harder. Much harder. And my first action is to redesign the site. I know it is a rip-off of apple.com, but so what? They’ve got better designers than I could afford if i mortgaged all of my family’s homes, so I might as well just copy their work.
Next on the agenda? Stay active, continue developing my apps, but most importantly of all, stay focused on what matters most: My family, and especially my girlfriend. Without them I couldn’t do this anyway, so they come first. Second? My dream of becoming and independent software developer, and hopefully expand it to a thriving business. Before TV, before playing games, and so on.
