Writing about something teaches you about what you know, what you don’t know, and how to think.

Why Write?

Easy to spot my desk in the office. Can you tell that I’m not using an external display?

Posts feels like the early days of social media and I love it. Which just share pieces of our everyday life and work, we don’t want to “get something out of it”, algorithms didn’t change our online personas. I really want this to stay like this 🥹

Needed summer vibes before it’s gonna snow again tomorrow at the end of fucking March. How’s your day going?

This is me standing up after a meeting longer than 30 min

Accidentally dressed in LA Lakers colors today 🙀

One day I will finish some of the 700music demos I started. One day. Today I just added one more to the list. 701, but who counts?

Controversial opinion but I think generative AI is just making the internet more boring. More of the same stuff and now I can’t even say “yeah it looks like something else but I appreciate the thought and craft behind it”.

Finally drew something after two weeks. Yeah I have a weird mind

Added some new stuff to my shop http://dajak.sellfy.store.

Really enjoyed this. https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/09/autocomplete-worshippers/ in the past 14 years working in tech I went from being first riding hypes to being more critical and wait things out. I have so many opinions on the whole AI craze,maybe will write a blog post soon

I wrote a little post about structuring large figma projects. Go have a read if you are into this kind of stuff  https://www.bontouch.com/case/wild-beasts-and-how-to-tame-them-how-we-structure-large-projects-in-figma/

I’m pretty sure whoever invented bedsheets hated people

We are looking for our first designer for our London studio. Someone with solid UI skills, someone who worked on shipped mobile products. Any of my followers know good designers in London? anyone?👀

Still don't know where I stand with the whole generative AI stuff but I continue messing around with it from time to time. Did a series of fun synthesizers, called it Synthesis because you need fancy title for your "art" stuff right?

Made my very own hat this weekend. Best thing I did in the long long time. Loved the process, love the result

I usually match the music I listen to the outfit I wear. Sneakers is usually 90s hip hop or some electronic stuff, now with wearing more boots I started a new playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6H1oAYVmUPV1v7bhFI43U5?si=c745be5f7ac44309

Rainy walks in the city, sipping a delicious cortado in a cosy cafe, an hour spent in a books shop, delicious food, alone with my thoughts a bit. Perfect.

Today is one of those days. Everything’s grey, nothing tastes good, nothing makes sense, self doubt and self hate kicks in. No motivation for everything. I hear the voice again: “you suck”. I’m trying to sleep, at least it’s quiet while I sleep. Fuck these days…

Last year I had a little in-house newsletter I did just for fun at my job just to collect stuff I dig and entertain my colleagues. part of it I made weekly playlist. Here is the first one https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1jailDNRZvWfFQL580Z9mu?si=N9FAln14QLC3u_iUCSu-ZA

For the life of me I can’t figure out why design tools at this point don’t have an “auto-table” maker. Like why is Microsoft Word better than us here.

Played around with Midjourney. It’s certainly fun, but also ‘meh’ at the same time. I definitely see usefulnes, created some nice concepts (you definitely feel more like and art director than artist) created a separate IG for my explorations https://www.instagram.com/dajak_ai/

Bought a new printer for printing posters. Love the quality:)

https://fs.blog/why-write/ loved this, so true

Rocking these new green boots today. Finally summer shoe weather in Stockholm :)

Please and thank you. Love the interchangeable modules, this could be my perfect Ableton keyboard https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fluxkeyboard/flux-keyboard-the-keyboard-reinvented

Anyone in Stockholm who wants to jam and help me finish some demos? https://soundcloud.com/dajaksthlm/thequestiondemo

Thinking about turning this into a sticker🧐

Shameless self-promo: my artist insta. Still trying to find my style/voice https://www.instagram.com/dajak_sthm/

Haven’t made any demos for a long long time but played around a little bit today. Super quick and raw improvisation: https://soundcloud.com/dajaksthlm/rusty-nails-demo

And did some quick arrangement on an older one: https://soundcloud.com/dajaksthlm/openheart
