I’ve recently switched my stats counting over to Google Analytics instead of just using StatPress, a Plugin for WordPress.
Google Analytics has just about everything you need in terms of statisics and some more as well.
A great benefit with using GA instead of the WordPress plugin is the wide range of iPhone apps that allows you to get access to your stats right on your phone. These apps usually use the GA system and display the stats in a nice iPhone friendly format.
So far, I’m using an app called Analytics App, a paid app that lets you view your stats from anywhere. I’ve yet to use it to the point where I feel that I can give a fair review though!
I’ve been gone for the past week in a little village on the west-coast of Sweden, enjoying the nature and relaxing a bit as well as shooting. The sunset photo below was from there as well. I’ve also got a nice little story to share regarding some photography.
Apartment Photography
I was staying in a newly built apartment which was just all awesome. The view from the balcony was superb and well… everything about it was super. What I did, being a photographer, was to check the renting company’s website if they had any photographs of the apartment—which they didn’t!
I was still going to take some photos of the house, mainly because it is a) fun and b) a good experience and practice. I also thought about sending them a link to an album on my photography website with the photographs, which I did. I think not more than an hour after I had sent the link, I got a reply asking how much five or ten of these would cost to buy, to have on the website!
I rarely ever sell any photography, so this is just a big bonus! I’m just now figuring out the price and going to mail them back with it so that they have it on Monday, with the hopes of selling ten! The photo at the top of this post, is from this shoot!
The Sunset That Almost Never Happened

The photo above is from a sunset shoot yesterday evening. Sunsets can be ruined for seemingly no reason sometimes. In order to get the great colors in the sky, a series of events must happen. The best being that it has just been raining heavily and that the heavy, thick rain clouds are just clearing out. You’ll then get to the the most wonderful cloud structures, in amazing color. Sadly, this doesn’t happen that many times out of the ones you choose to jump on so sometimes you just need to do the best of the situation.
Here I thought that we’d get a good situation but I was wrong. The clouds that the sun set into were either a bit too dense or a bit to high above the horizon for it to really happen. But there was at least a little bit of good, red, sky!
I’ve been wanting to upgrade this site for quite some time now and when I decided to add a blog as well, there was really no turning back of the fact that I wanted to have more things than it was originally made for! I suppose you could say: Welcome to the new website!
What is on here?
You might be asking what is special here and what is going to be on this site, in contrast to all the other sites that I run? I find that to be a perfect question. On this site I want to post the general blog posts about things I encounter in the daily work that is longer than just a tweet but isn’t really material for an educative article over on Bernskiold Media.
I’ll post my latest photography, talk about shoots, talk about trips and of course some work related things as well, leaving the direct educative behind and writing about that over at Bernskiold Media. I can promise though that this won’t be a wasted space or wasted reading just because it isn’t educational. If you are interested in photography, design and computers, you’ll still find this a good read I think!
The other day I upgraded my MacBook Pro to 4 GB of RAM, an upgrade I would recommend everyone who has got one running on 2gb. It feels so much faster, especially when using the suite and doing some video editing. Lovely!!
