    Shovelling Snow and Playing With Plex

    Reading Time: 2 minutes Yesterday it snowed for several hours and that snow was covering the path to my house. When I saw the ground turn from asphalt black to grey, to white I decided to go and start clearing the snow. It’s easy to clear snow when you have three or four centimetres, rather…

  • A Good Run

    A Good Run

    Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s good to vary between walking, cycling and running. I even threw in skateboarding but I am not confident at that sport yet. The beauty of walking, cycling and running is that these are sports that you can do straight from home, without getting into a car, and without having to…

    My Lack Of Interest In the Apple Watch Ultra

    Reading Time: 3 minutes I see people are training for ultrarunning events, scuba diving and more with the Apple Watch Ulta, but I feel no interest in such a watch.
