has seriously been the coldest experience I’ve had in my life. New York is freaking freeeeeeeeeeeezing!! But the cold outside I can handle. It’s the cold inside the apartment that makes me wanna go fcuking berserk and punch our landlord in the face! Apparently we have to pay gas separately and we haven’t registered an account with a gas-company yet because the landlord didn’t tell us that we had to!

The whole apartment is heated with gas, and even so the stove and owen. So we can’t cook either! It pretty much suck! I miss cooking my own food. Now we are running on take-out and resturant foods for every single meal! (Well.. thats pretty sweet, but I miss cooking my own food)

Except for the heating issue the week has been pretty regular. I’m starting to feel at home in New York and love it at work! The only thing I’m missing is working out, but I’ll probably join a gym this week.

Work wise

it has been a pretty calm week. We got some feedback on the Bloomberg project and had to fix those. And on the Starbucks project we are still waiting for assets from the client so we are on hold. Pretty sweet to be working with such a big client as Starbuck though! We are also working on a internal project that is pretty sweet, let’s me experiment alot with new techniques to do stuff so I’m learning a bunch!

We also hade two new guys starting at the office this week! Tore and Erik! Seems like two really chill dudes that are gonna rock out at the office! We also managed to hook them up on an aparment in our Rocket factory! (the building we live in) So they move in on the fifth floor tomorrow! Did someone say COD-nights!?

I bought yet another photo-app

for the iphone a couple of days ago, so all the pictures I have taken this week has been with it, I like the retro feel of the photos, even though some of them gets pretty blurry. It’s called Hipstamatic, check it out, pretty fun! It even has a ‘Williamsburg’ kit for the uberhipsters, were we live!

Ground Zero is located like two blocks from the office.

Serious dudes

Twitter-shitter and Gregster

Party in the Icecreamfactory (yes another factory..) and Tore (on the right left) shows that he can do just as good duckfaces as Kristofer.

Jade was there, as well as two monkeys playing chatroulette!

Speaking of party!

If you are in Stockholm you should defiantly go to SWEDISH BAKERY on Bonden Bar this Wednesday! As you might know my dear friends Niklas and Johan is running the club while me and Daniel is setting up the New York office! I found this little neat video that describes the club in a pretty good way!

Cake it or leave it!

The first month of 2010 is soon to be over and the new decenium couldn’t start out any better, the epic year-bar has been set! It has happened so much, this blogpost is gonna be a big one Mostly semi-crap images caught on my iphone as usual, but it will have to do!

First out

is my first DJ-gig in New York! Jens, James and some of their friends threw a big party at the beautiful lounge of Thompson Hotel LES and asked me to DJ the event, of-course I said yes! It was a great evening except from som minor technological issues with the DJ-setup. Even though the place was a lounge, I managed to scrape some dancemoves together from the crowd

One pale dude

The beautiful Thompson Hotel LES! For ALOT of pictures from the night, visit Your-Majestys flickr-page (some pictures might be NSFW)

Next thing

is that mine and Kristofers first project on Your-Majesty has gone live! We made a flash micro-site for Bloombergs upcoming campaign “Think Technology Solutions”. It was quite the challange to get all 3d stuff in there so I’m very proud that it turned out the way it did. Check it out here –> Think Technology Solutions

I learned tons of stuff during this project that will help me handle the next incoming projects much more efficient!

Puerto Rico!

Even more epic than the previous headlines are that Your-Majesty decided to invite the whole company on a trip to Puerto Rico for the weekends! We went there for 5days and stayed at Hilton Caribe.

We had a great time, so much crazy fun. Unfortunately the weather was pretty rough at sometimes, but we compensated with drinkin Pina Coladas instead, which helped out. We also happened to time in the monthly carneval of San Juan (the capitol of Puerto Rico). Alot of people doing alot of crazy shit

Photo galore!

Four serious dudes and a happy Georgios!

The view that greeted us every morning.

The garden at Hilton Caribe

The Mojito Point of View

And Margaritas! (Love the Duckface Krista)

After drinks we went downtown to check out the carneval everyone was talking about. There was ALOT of people hangin out, dancing and what not!

We did as the locals and bought ourselves some Puerto Rican Partydrinks! Basically slush-puppy with alot of rum added to it Happy lads!

Looks like they spotted something…

Damn that dude have an awesome Padawan tail going on… Better drink more to calm my jealousness…

Feeling muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better now!

After a while we decided to enter that blue building in the background inside was, wait for it…

We did not only drink us off our asses on the streets of San Juan…

We did it at fancy places to!

Les San Juan Hotel / Casion – Fancy pantsy place.

“Awmagaaad I looove casinoos”

I did not leave the casino with alot of money…

It sure was a couple of exciting days.

Instead of checking to rehab, we are now all back at the office, working our asses of as usual.

But I can’t really complain about my internship so far Not a single thing actually, I’m loving it, as fat people say.

There is more pics from our adventures on the Your-Majesty flickr-page!

Btw

Here are two pics of how the custom “shoebox” rooms turned out, mine still looks like a piece of sh**t so I can’t show it yet, I’ll do it when I’ve visited IKEA

The living room, each window is a shoebox, mine is the one on the top right! Keeping it minimal with the furniture. Although we let Greg go loose with a Krink-pen:

Urban living yao.

So how have your first month been so far?

Some random pictures from the last couple of wonderful weeks.

5pm at New Years eve… I had almost lost faith in that we should host the most epic new years party in Brooklyn.

But we stocked up on beer…

And suited up!

And had the best of times!

The whole thing ended up with all the party apartments on the 7th floor partying together! Blast! (Last three pics stolen from Gregmacks flickr, check it out for more New York pics!)

We even had goodlooking people forming a line for the bathroom!

Thanks to everyone to who showed up! And to our lovely neighbors who allowed us at their places!

The days when we didn’t party I spent urban exploring and in cosy cafés with Sara-Lee, best of times

Streetart comes in many forms and sizes yo.

Unfortunately for my blogpost all other pictures were taken with SLs camera so this is all I have for now… So I’ll end this little photopost with a nice piece of “Suspicious Putin” that we found somewhere around Bedford avenue.

Although I filmed a little bit yesterday when I took a powerwalk over Williamsburg bridge! The view was insane, kind of not showing on the movie, but I speak swedish with a funny Smålänsk accent. Weird to hear yourself on tape…

Bye bye! Now I leave for New York City! I’ll write more in detail when I’m on the plane!

I suck at updating I know… But I’m so busy right now. Prepping all papers for New York, working on a big freelance project and visiting all people dear to me before I leave Europe.

Danielblom.com

The last couple of months I have been working on a portfolio and photoCMS for the amazing photographer Daniel Blom. Yesterday it went live, and it feels great! Too easy to do nice looking sites when working with pictures like Daniel’s.
