About me

Hi, and welcome to my little nest on the Internet.

My name is Tor Håkon. I am an native Norwegian. I read, I write, and I make mistakes.

Currently I work as an Operation Manager at RamBase, a Hatteland company. But the thoughts and text on this blog is mine, and mine alone.

Some of my interests are—in no particular order:

  • Kayaking
  • Hiking
  • Camping
  • Golf (on hold)
  • Photography
  • Technology related stuff

Earlier I wrote mostly about techonlogy and photography, but recently—with the crazy stuff happening in USA and Russia—more and more polictics.

I have also written about hiking in Norwegian, but these are more then a decade old and well hidden.
