The summer is here and Erik is alive…

It has been a long time since I have written anything here. It has been an intense period and a lot of things has happened. I have met incredible people, and learnt so much about myself. The time and environment here is amazing. I have had some friends over from Sweden and it was great to show them around and give them a taste of the daily life here.

Next week I will speak at a conference NetSquared on the use of cellphones in developing countries and emerging markets. I will present my work here at Stanford and discuss the design of the new generation of cellphone applications. By that I mean the architecture and not a discussion on the network generation. I have written a blog entry on this here.

June 3rd I will be at Teddy’s great place up in the mountains and party with the fellows. It will probably be as great as last time, when it ended up as an all-nighter. It can’t go wrong. Great people, great diversity of food and a great place…

It is now decided that I will stay in the Bay area for some time so I will most probably miss the Swedish summer, but hopefully I will be able to fly home during early autumn for a short while. I will try to be more frequent in my blogging here, not to mention the photo upload.
