Big news! 📚 Three years ago, I began writing a book on upgrades—transforming tough changes into lasting success. Life got busy with GPTs, new frameworks, and legacy projects, but those challenges shaped a proven approach. In May 2025, I restarted writing, aiming to publish by…
Came to backpack to Oslo around 15 years ago. First time in Norway, I look like poor student with a small bag.
I was walking in a Swiss town Some woman left all her expensive shopping bags on the bench I walked past and I saw she was 5 meters away so I shouted "watch out I might steal it, oh no wait we're in Switzerland, that doesn't happen" 😂😂😂 Then we all collectively laughed in…
