01.17.06The pepper mattersSomewhere in the discussion around my little time-lapse experiment a person concluded that "this guy should get a life". If you are dedicated, patient, accurate and serious about what you do this is a boring comment to get, because you get it all the time. Especially if you are very interested in one single subject.

08.22.05Did you know......that the flowers on the cucumber plant smells wonderful? Now you know. There will definitely never be any cucumbers on our balcony, but at least we have had the pleasure of some flowers with a very nice fragrance. And you have also learnt that it is impossible to know what to expect on eirikso.com Is that a good thing? Will I loose my regular readers if I start to write about stuff that is not about home media technologies? I guess you'll speak up if you hate posts like this?
