Ethnografic Industries logo sketches and last night ramblings

I can't say too much about the project except that it involves anthropologists and software. It's one of five development projects I'm involed with now and we're just in the planing phases. But, since I'm falling in love with this Posterous thing I figured I could post sketches of the logo (we're going #1).

To say the least it's been a crazy last year, moving to Norway and then finding out that Paola is pregnant. The fact that work hasn't gone as I had planned and I haven't been able to get into a selling mood here hasn't helped me get relaxed either. But, I think I'm slowly starting to understand that I just need to keep enough balls in the air, either with smallish clients or with these internal projects and somehow money will come out of it.

Summertime in Oslo

We've had 3 weeks of great weather now, with lots of sun and 20-25 degrees. The sun is now rising at around 5 in the morning and setting at around 10. I've been taking Paola for trips around Oslo, places that John has told me about or places that I find online. First up was a picknick at Gressholmen, a small island 20 mins. from the center of Oslo. Supposedly there are fish there too... Next up as a 4-5 km hike into Lillomarka which is the forest to the north-east of Oslo which has great rails and is dotted with little lakes, where I actually saw tons of trout in. Yesterday we went to the botanical gardens, which is not that impressive, but very romantic and easy to get to.
