However, I felt that moving to the US was a too big of a move to do at this time in my life, and there's always these visa problems that makes the whole thing really hard. So I got in contact with Fredrik Stutterheim and he talked to Tony Högqvist Co-founder of Perfect Fools and we talked about me doing some internship-ping at their company.

So I'm going to Stockholm to work. Feels good. It's a hassle to find an apartment but I got hold of a room until I can find something on my own.

I will now update the blog more frequently, a new design is coming too, I just need to make a xhtml/css version of it first, it will be a bitch because the next one is more graphical.

Wish me luck you guys.

Suggestions? I can't buy iPhone. I would love to but I can't buy it in Sweden because I'll have to sign up with the swedish mobile operator Telia for at least 12 months and that would be stupid since I'm probably moving to Portland. So the iPhone will have to wait.

What phones do you have?

So I've decided to make this blog a little bit more interesting both for my friends online, friends irl and family. If I'm moving to another country it would be a good move for my family to be able to see what I'm doing. I also need more pictures. I'm too lazy for stuff like that. But that's going to change now. I've decided to be a better blogger.

So be prepared for some changes here or a complete overhaul. But I need inspiration. Give me your favorite blogs in your rss reader!

I've been thinking of selling my iMac so I can buy a Macbook Pro instead it's much easier when traveling.But as always, there's been rumors about a new MBP for some time. And I don't want to make the mistake buying the current macbook when the new generation is just around the corner. If anyone of you guys have any idea when the new generation is coming, write a comment please ;).

So what should I think about when visiting U.S? Any ideas? Because I have none at all. I'm not used to the culture at all. Take like tipping service people... I have absolutely no idea how to do this at all. We don't do that in Sweden, only if the person serving us is extremely good at what he/she is doing.

I'd appreciate any tips you have about the subject! Wish me good luck, I will be going 20th september.

These last couple of days have been amazing for me. I've gotten offers from different companies but the one that really stuck was from Wieden+Kennedy. When I talked to Sean today (their Digital Director) he asked me why I didn't go to North Kingdom. Well I could, but Wieden+Kennedy contacted me before I could contact North Kingdom. And that is amazing. I wouldn't miss an opportunity like that with a company like Wieden+Kennedy and I would like to get some experiences outside of Sweden.

I got a good vibe from Wieden+Kennedy just by reading their blog in Portland. It seems like an ideal place to work at.

We haven't discussed all the details yet and there is still a lot left to do. But I can't wait to experience it! I'll keep you updated!

Yeah I know what you all are thinking, but I love the interactive bit when working with flash. I'm a designer and I want to explore the possibilities, I'm not even sure if I want to do the whole web standards bit. Maybe I want to focus a bit more on advertising and campaigns. It's hard to decide. Love both parts of the web.

But back to the portfolio. This is the first time I'm making a whole site with actionscript 3. It's been an interesting experience so far and I want to share some libraries that I use:

First off is the BulkLoader, it helps out with loading assets such as xml-files, image-files, swf-files etc. And you can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/bulk-loader/.

Second is Tweener, helps you with your animations in a really easy way. You can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/tweener/

I couldn't live without these two. And I will probably always use them when I do my flash sites. Do you have any interesting libraries you want to share?

At that moment I couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't understand it, it took a couple of days before I finally realized it. Maybe I wasn't supposed to be a student at Hyper Island. But at least now, I'm a free agent.

So what about the future? I want to have an internship at Your-Majesty, and will hopefully be able to do this some time in the future. For now I'm trying to figure out what to do for a year. I'm thinking of freelancing full time or at least freelance on the side while having a day job. Just to raise some money. Or apply for a job in Stockholm.

What I do know is that I need a new portfolio, my last portfolio was made back in 2006. So it's really old, I have a lot of new works that needs to be displayed in a good way. This is a good thing. It's a chance to try out my new acquired Actionscript 3 skills in a real project.

I need inspiration, a lot of inspiration for my new portfolio. Anyone got any ideas?

Does anyone know some best practices for Flex 3?

I've also applied for Hyper Island. And I've been accepted to the recruitment days. So I'll probably be accepted to the school after that.

Swedishfika.com is back up and running too, so it's all going well. I'll write soon again.
