I am always forgetting about the stringformatting tag in Django’s templating language. For instance for leading zeros:

This will always put a leading zero.

Just really fantastic imagery:

I have to get some of these paintings I think, trouble is he paints them on the side of buildings:

Maybe a small one painted in the living room would look cool.

Wow, Google have announced the release of the Google OS. Although it wasn’t entirely a shock its nice to see that they are promoting something from the ground up.

Looking forward to trying it out even if I don’t have a netbook.

Last weekend we went on quite the shopping spree, taking advantage of the summer sun, the summer sale and the good mood generally about in Stockholm.

First stop after lunch was Iittala again and we got the following:

A Taika mug to go with the Taika bowl we bought earlier. And also some Alvar Alto tiny bowls / tea light holders:

We got some for presents and then 2 green and 2 blue for the home. And we also picked up some Moomin (Mumin) cups (which are from Arabia – part of the Iittala group and designed by Tove Slotte-Elevant).

Hattifatteners, The Groke, Sniff, Love, Stinky and I think snufkin.

And we also bought and Iittala slotted turner for the kitchen, but I am not going to post a photo of that.

To take advantage of the weather we also bought a Sagaform picnic set (Nicely modelled by Kristin):

And that was the ending of the shopping spree for sometime.
