Søren is a designer at webfactory, hopelessly addicted to the North and using this scrapbook to keep track of his findings on the internets.Tumblr (3.0; @vagabondsoul)http://vagabondsoul.net/<p>My resolutions for 2012 revolve around a single, common theme: more. I want to attain more of as much as possible, including</p> <ul><li>more fitness</li> <li>more creative output</li> <li>more craftsmanship*</li> <li>more fun</li> <li>more traveling</li> </ul><p>*craftsmanship: I will strive to hone and expand my existing skills in web front-end development and photography, with a bit of (copy-)writing thrown in on the side.</p> <p>The overall mantra this year will be: don&#8217;t think too long about anything, just do it. I&#8217;m starting with a photo book documenting my 2010 journey to the north cape and the Lofoten islands.</p> <p>Off to work!</p>http://vagabondsoul.net/post/15247505815http://vagabondsoul.net/post/15247505815Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:13:34 +0100<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/32397612" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Ingenious robotic dreaming.

It has managed to rekindle my love of photography paired with a device that is always ‘there’ instead of longing for my dSLR which rarely accompanies me (this is a good thing). On the other hand it has me itching to sell my iPhone 3GS early and spend money on basically the camera of an iPhone 4 (this is bad).</p> <p>Ironically this ties in well with the title Rands chose for his article: using Instagram is the art of happily not missing your dSLR, but also of not getting too tempted to upgrade your phone.</p>http://vagabondsoul.net/post/1611145724http://vagabondsoul.net/post/1611145724Thu, 18 Nov 2010 19:57:00 +0100<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/13810139" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/13810139">“Le Royaume” (The king and the Beaver), Student graduating film 2010 at Gobelins, L’école de l’image</a> (by Sébastien Hary)</p> <p>Très chic!</p>http://vagabondsoul.net/post/1591022241http://vagabondsoul.net/post/1591022241Tue, 16 Nov 2010 14:15:04 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbz5gow5Ym1qa7ga7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/11/15/amazing-brick-machine-rolls-out-roads-like-carpet/">Amazing Brick Machine Rolls Out Roads Like Carpet | Inhabitat</a></p> <p>I wonder what it would take our government to adopt this.
