2011-11-28Networking gives me inspiration to do betterThe last few weeks can only be described as highly inspirational.

2011-07-15First week after vacationThe house where we got our office has been more or less empty this week as most people enjoy their summer vacation. For me this means lots of time for administrative tasks but also a trip to the municipality of Berg yesterday.[... read more]
2011-06-21Conference about China in JönköpingJönköping offered a great program for today s conference with a focus on China.

2011-06-01Our new web pageMy first mission as the information manager at Midscand was to set up a new communication strategy including a new web site.
