Five and a half years ago, I started a weblog named "Tesugen".
I had no intention with it at the time, but I wrote and wrote and eventually realized that it served a purpose. For me, that is.
A year and a half ago I started a company with my friend Svante. Before then, I wrote less and less, but by then I explained the continuing decline in posts with the fact that my job had become inspiring. I liked the company I worked for a lot, and the people there, but I didn't find the work itself inspiring. And I felt that Tesugen had the purpose of inspiring me the way I wanted my work to be inspiring.
There's some truth to that. But since starting the company, I have realized that Tesugen served another purpose as well. Not of satisfying a need for writing, although I definitely like to write, but something else.
The purpose of our company is to make work less like work, or to make a living doing things we both enjoy. But still, I think I need to create and express things that aren't related to work or to making a living (or at least that aren't aimed at that; I have no problem making money as a side effect).
So, with that, I today start replacing Tesugen, post by post. When I'm "done", the old Tesugen will no longer exist; everything interesting will have ended up here, annotated, rewritten, or just copied and pasted.
I will start at the beginning, delete things that aren't interesting (lots of that), and move things here that are (to me).
Hi, Peter. I did some researchs about ´The Generic City´ for my BLOG. And an article you postet 5 years ago came up.

...you requested alternative to where the text could be located other then ind S,M,L,XL. And I have a suggestion.
At the Architecture School in Copenhagen, it has been translated into Danish - "Byen uden egenskaber". Might be something...

I'm glad to see you writing again and the notion of revisiting and revising old weblog posts is great. Looking forward to it.

Thanks, Bryan! Perhaps I should pick it up again. (-: This was a project I started a while back but postponed.
