Replacing Tesugen

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).
