After my last blog post, I took a serious break by not doing much vibe coding off hours. It took a lot of discipline, but I managed not to message ItsyBOT and instead tried to focus on rest and relaxation while I wasn't working. I still had a lot of work that needed to be… Continue reading Took a Break, Built a Thing

My Agent Doesn’t Sleep and Neither Do I
This was a long week. Exhausting. It's been a few weeks of being exhausted now.I hate to admit it, but I really do think it's the cognitive overload that is happening with this new tool that I have gotten access to.Previously, it was work that was maybe occupying most of my mental energy. But then… Continue reading My Agent Doesn’t Sleep and Neither Do I
Building with Bots (and Barely Finding Time to Write About It)
The speed at which you can build things right now is pretty amazing. You can quickly go from ideation to prototype without having to code it yourself. Augment that process with event modeling, where you specify graphically what you want your system to do and send that off to AI for implementation, and it's truly… Continue reading Building with Bots (and Barely Finding Time to Write About It)
Sportlov, Standing Trains, and Turning Thoughts Into Things
Last weekend was the start of sportlov for the kids. We didn't really have a plan, we just spontaneously decided to go to a hotel, put the computers away, and do things in the physical world for a change. We spent the days swimming, looking at sea creatures and animals (the tiger family was kind… Continue reading Sportlov, Standing Trains, and Turning Thoughts Into Things
Bed-Ridden Development and the Joy of Shipping
I haven't had time to blog in a while — weekends have been very busy. February is also known as VABuary in Sweden: kids get sick, then I get sick, and the cycle continues. But even through the fog of tissues and cough drops, things have been moving. Fast. The Openclaw Experiment Since my last… Continue reading Bed-Ridden Development and the Joy of Shipping
Another Weekend, Another Event Model

Event Modeling + AI: A Weekend Project That Actually Worked
I've been studying event modeling for almost a year and only now it has started to click. Not just from reading articles or watching talks but from actually modeling simple hobby projects. I thought I'd spend yesterday starting another one. The Project The idea is straightforward: register an occasion reminder (birthday, anniversary, whatever), and one… Continue reading Event Modeling + AI: A Weekend Project That Actually Worked
First Day of the Year: Endings and Beginnings
Today was a good first day of the year. It started with fireworks with the family and the penultimate episode of Stranger Things. The finale wasn't coming out until 2 a.m., but none of us thought we'd be able to last that long. So instead, we agreed to wake up at 10 a.m. and watch… Continue reading First Day of the Year: Endings and Beginnings
On AI Slop and the Future of Social Media
A New Year's resolution: drastically reduce the amount of crap I put in my brain. With the amount of AI slop circulating online, it's so easy to get sucked into the feed of various social media posts. As a consumer of content, it's incredibly annoying to be amazed at some story only to realize it… Continue reading On AI Slop and the Future of Social Media
Initial thoughts post the event modeling workshop
