Vagabonding

Leave a reply
Michelle Clarke at Michelle Clarke Coaching quoted Rolf Pott: Vagabonding is an outlook on life...it's about using prosperity and possibility to increase your personal options instead of your personal possessions. Vagabonding is about looking for adventure in normal life, and normal life within adventure. It's an attitude, an uncommon way of looking at life, a value adjustment, that makes a person an explorer in the truest, most vivid sense of the word. Vagabonding is about time - our only real Read more [...]

Site move and update

Leave a reply

I have moved this site to another webhost. Setting up a new WordPress and importing my old data went smoothly. In connection with this move I also restructured my images (I keep them outside the blog in a gallery at one of my domains) which required updates on many posts. I think I’ve found them all and that images show up everywhere I intend to have one.

Letter from a mother

Leave a reply
A friend of mine on Facebook tagged me in the photo below and to the letter in Spanish. Later a French translation turned up in that thread and I have found an English version. That letter strikes a cord in me, it could have been written by my mother to me. We're in that phase of life when the tables turn, she no longer manages on her own and I have to help her. Changes happened gradually and fairly slow during the last few years but lately it changed much faster. It's hard to see your mother change Read more [...]

You Don’t Call Me. I Call You

Leave a reply
The business card below popped up on a friends wall on Facebook. It's a card with attitude and the story behind how it ended up in the press can be read at The Best Business Card Ever: A Warren Buffett Story, Starring His Girl Friday, Devon Spurgeon. The Huffington Post wrote about it too at Devon Spurgeon, Warren Buffett's Chief Of Staff, Keeps Hilarious Business Card: 'You Don't Call Me. I Call You'. For some occasions that kind of card can be useful but using a Gmail address is a bit generic. Read more [...]

How To Set Categories On WordPress Pages

Leave a reply
I have a site, CoachGuiden, where I list coaches and needed to be able to set categories on the coach pages. I found Ninja Page Categories and Tags which is a plugin that solves my problem. CoachGuiden is in Swedish but you'll be able to see how the plugin works anyway. On the individual coach-pages, see Bengt Wendel – Key Coaching as an example, the coach categories are listed at the bottom. Clicking on any category will bring up a list with all coaches that are in that category. I then created Read more [...]

How to create your own vanity URL

Leave a reply
Google+ creates long numeric user ID's and has - at least at present - no way to select your own vanity URL (like your name or nick). That opens up for services like gplus.to which offers you to create a nick or vanity URL for your Google+ account. If you have a domain of your own and can modify your htaccess-file then it's easy to create your own personal vanity URL's. You simply add code like this: Redirect 301 /me/gplus https://plus.google.com/google+idhere Redirect 301 /me/facebook http://www.facebook.com/bengt.wendel Redirect Read more [...]

Vivo Barefoot Ra black

Today I took one step further in my transition to barefoot walking. I went to Fotkultur in Malmö and bought a pair of black Vivo Barefoot Ra. The Ra is one of the most classic VIVOBAREFOOT styles to date. The sumptuous vegetable tanned leather upper sits on the original VIVOBAREFOOT sole. It's a truly versatile shoe; smart enough for the office and stylish enough for a night out, offering barefoot health benefits from day-to-night. I wanted real barefoot shoes which means no heal, no built in Read more [...]
