I’ve arrived here in Sweden last Thursday and I have to say that I really like it. The dormitory is, besides of the kitchen, pretty fine and Borås, the city I’m studying at, is really lovely.
There are some things I really like about Sweden: the cheap coffee (about 50 Cent for one cup), the brick houses and the easiness of things. And I like the weather. Kind of. It’s quite nice actually, with at least one rainstorm every day (lesson learned: take an umbrella with you if you’re leaving the house).
I can’t tell you if the Japanese and French translations are correct, but the German one is just plain wrong (I thought they do have a development center in Switzerland?!)
I accidently stumbled over Cole’s photos over at Flickr and read about his project, Flagr in his profile.
Flagr is a place where you can share locations on a Google Map (well, that’s just the main idea). So you can for example mark your favourite Café, your home, places you have been and think that they might be interesting to others or you can show where you’ve done your Flickr images. However, the Flickr integration has not yet been implemented (and with Flickrs’ own plans there will be an active competition) but it’s really easy to include your shots or links to your photo pages.
Another startup with a great idea, powered by Ruby on Rails.
