About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel more and convincing the world of the evils of surveillance and the current "intellectual property" laws

ABOUT ME

Hacker, hobby-chef, privacy activist.

I mostly listen to harsh EBM and futurepop, yet Pink Floyd/Roger Waters still ranks as #1.

I love trying new food -- both things I cook myself and food by others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the archeological site at Xochicalco, Mexico and the Dilwara Temples at Mount Abu, India, visited a bamboo forest in Kyoto and eaten at the world's best restaurant NOMA in Copenhagen.

I've enjoyed limitless aural bliss when Roger Waters performed Us+Them in Stockholm 2018, The Wall in Stockholm 2011 (and again in Copenhagen 2013), and The Dark Side of the Moon in Stockholm 2007, the visio-aural spectacle of a Jean Michel Jarre show in Stockholm 2009 (and another one in Helsinki 2016), the diva deluxe show of Mylène Farmer in Paris 2009, and the pyrotechnical insanity of a Rammstein performance in Helsinki 2017.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to teach whatever I know about cooking. I'm also open to teaching people about GNU/Linux. And of course to discuss politics.

I'd really like to learn more even about cooking.

I love sharing the food I cook with others and to discuss food experiences, and since I have a huge collection of films, I'm open to shared film evenings as well.
