Hi all, I am Tormod 🇳🇴🇸🇪 (he / him)

My days are spent as a consultant in enterprise IT organizations, mainly focusing on teamwork and the people side of delivery. In particular with coaching, processes and enabling teams to work better together across departments and vendors.

My passions are in the areas of #photography, #graphicdesign, #typography and #music. And, of course, family ❤️

Happy to talk to anyone, and I will assume you're awesome until proven otherwise.

One day while picking my son up from day care, I noticed all the kids checking me out in a very particular manner. I asked him what they had done today, and apparently, they had been talking about what their parents did for work.

"I couldn't remember if you are with the FBI or the CIA, but the guys thought it was pretty cool" he said

While he had a few details wrong, it made for a good story at morning coffee with my IBM colleagues the next day.

Met up with @anderseknert for lunch today. A classy restaurant in beautiful surroundings on an early summers day, with good food and great company.

Perfect little break from work, thanks Anders!

Sticking with this one is by far the smartest thing I ever did. ❤️

Uh oh... late to the game, but just started playing around with the text editor system Obsidian 👀

And down the rabbit hole I go 🐇

See you on the other side, if I can keep my head on.

It's Friday!

Put on a tropical screen saver, mix yourself the umbrella drink of choice (I'm a big Mai Tai boy myself) and get in the mood with Sheila E's new album. I dare you to sit still 💃 🕺

Have a good one all!

has still got it.

Loving this album by @Skeewiff So much fun! A fresh take on goofy tracks from (mostly) the 1960's, re-imagined with a contemporary sound and a deadpan delivery.

A wonderfully deconstructed "Soul Bossanova", a "Spanish Flea" that (almost) never ends, probably the best (to date) version of "MahNa MahNa", all rounded out by UK parlamentary political anthem #1 "Yakety Sax".

This album shows a true love for the originals, played in the most skilled and respectful way.

She had me at "Ted Lasso", but now I'm on S5E2 of Fargo, and DANG!

That Juno Temple has got my full attention over here... 😍

On the topic of and , there is a new statement out today. Registered users probably got the email as well.

For now, I suggest we extend the Affinity team our continued support and love, while holding them to their pledge. They have done right by the graphics community this far, and deserve the benefit of doubt. We'll be watching them closely.

I would have been more at ease if it was Affinity buying Canva though 🙂

Timeline blowing up today with the news of puchasing . Posts are pouring in, written in SO many languages. ALL of them worrying about yet another good software suite falling victim to and a license model moving from perpetual to monthly subscription.

Users universally loathe subs and we have all seen this story play out before. Nobody trusting the "no changes planned at this time" message.

A sad state of affairs when we all now EXPECT to be worse off shortly.

Ended up with random Chaka Kahn tracks on shuffle today, what a great way to round off the week.

This isn’t her most well-known track, but man... Give her five and turn it up (esp. from the 3:30 mark). Dynamite.

May your weekend be reinvigorating and uneventful!

My apologies.

I seem to have been in a certain mood this evening and probably used a negative tone. I usually try not to, but sometimes the world just get to me, know what I mean?

Yes, I'm angry, frustrated and feeling helpless to affect all those things that are moving in the wrong direction. Doesn't feel like voting is going to help much either... Oh well.

Good night and good luck!

Help a dude out here, please. I'm watching the "red carpet" part of the Oscars, but there is ZERO mention of the designers of all those wonderful dresses! Who are they wearing?

Any good resource you've seen for this? Thanks!

Edit: final version now completed. Added detail to his hand and ear, plus a few other highlight / shadow tweaks and background.

Work in progress, vector portrait of David Bowie. Still some details to fix, but kinda close to done I think...

Based on a photo by Greg Gorman from 1984.
