A room with a view

Since July 8 and for the rest of the summer, at least, we’re in the Stockholm archipelago at Johanna’s grandparents’ summer cottage. The little town we’re in is called Bullandö (we live at the very end of Bullandövägen). So far the weather has been beautiful, I have a 15ft dinghy with a 30 horsepower engine, and my soccer skills are steadily increasing.

Below is a picture taken from our bedroom window around noon two days ago. Nai and Jax share a room with the same south-southeast view to wake up to every day.

Design for Asia Awards 2007 - Business Week has a photo set of the winning entries. I would have given it to the camera, about which they write “It evokes the days when cameras lasted a generation with its retro look and feel”.

Chinese Kids Get Foreign Toys - Time magazine has an article on an interesting trend. In my house it has been a long standing battle against collecting more and more cheap Chinese plastic toys. We last bought a Chinese toy probably in early spring.

About a month ago, I googled Lego to find out where they are manufactured. Jaxon will soon be happy to learn they are made in Denmark and Czech Republic, and decorated in Denmark, Czech Republic, Mexico and the US.

Race and IQ, cont. - More Malcom Gladwell on genetics and IQ. A good one page summary of the 4 page article I linked to.
