Long have I resisted, long have I clinged on  to the statement  that I don’t need a Facebook account, that I am social enough in other ways. Also, many of my friends are also on Helgon.net, where I have been a member since 2002.

But it feels like everyone has a Facebook account these days.  And apparently a lot of party invitations and just plain contact-keeping is swarming around there. More so than on Helgon, which is becoming more and more stale.

On the back side of the coin, I tend to get addicted to these kind of things. And I don’t want to feel the need to check it several times every day. Especially not at work.

Help me out here, vote in the poll and tell me what you think I should do.

Poll: Should I get a Facebook account?

  • Yes, and I want to be your friend there! (60%, 9 Votes)
  • No (33%, 5 Votes)
  • Yes, but I don't want to be your friend there... (7%, 1 Votes)

Total Voters: 15

Edit: It seems that to be able to vote, you have to use the frankjohansson.com domain. frankjohansson.se or killersnail.com will not work. If you still cannot vote, please leave a comment so that I can fix it.

Edit2: Now it seems to work with frankjohansson.se but not with frankjohansson.com! Strange. Will have a look at it during the weekend.

Edit 3: Seems that there were conflicts with having multiple domain names using the same IP, which confused the poll code. Or something like that. I have changed the DNS settings for frankjohansson.se and killersnail.com to forward to frankjohansson.com. This should also help my google rank a bit. Anyway, poll should be working now.

Hi everybody – It’s Sunday cooking time!

Today I made a neat vegetarian dish that I thought I should share. Images are clickable.

This dish is enough to feed 4 grown men with good appetite, which should translate to 6-8 “ordinary” servings. The leftovers (if any) are fine to freeze and just microwave when you are in a hurry/lazy.

Things I would have added if I had any at home:

  • Carrots
  • Mushrooms
  • Chinese water chestnut

Call me sexist or whatever, but I found the following flowcharts (originally found on Gizmodo.com) very funny, and I think they held a great deal of truth. What do you think?

Men vs. Women Flowchart: DrinksMen vs. Women Flowchart: Going to the bathroomMen vs. Women Flowchart: Sex

By the way, I am starting to have regrets about my New Year’s resolution. The nicotine abstinence I can handle (although I eat a lot more), but I so want to go out and party (in an alcohol-intoxicated state)! I will at least try to stay sober until my 30:th birthday (3 more months), but we’ll see how it goes.

Nomadic Matt’s Travel Site has an excellent post titled Seven Things to Do in Iceland (Why You Should Go Right Now!).

As a group of us are getting together to go there this Easter, this is a nice place to quickly read up on Iceland if you are interested in joining us. Keep in mind that while the tickets and hotels are still very cheap, they tend to run out sooner or later, and you can already see the prices rise on a daily basis.

Worth adding is also Whale Safari, where a large number of different whales are often sighted all around the Icelandic coast.

We have now booked flights and hotel rooms for the Easter Iceland trip! :)

Everyone that wants are still welcome to join us, but by now you will have to book the flights and hotel yourself.

For us the total price ended at 4288SEK, but you can get it even cheaper depending on how/where you will stay and where you book. We recommend booking everything at travellink.se.

For further details about times and seating, leave a comment and I’ll get back to you.
