About me

My name is Mikael Asp Somkane and I’m a dad, husband and programmer. I program for a living, but I’ve been home for almost 1.5 years due to sickness. I have terminal cancer, but so far my medicine is keeping the tumours quite. They neither shrink nor grow, but they will never go away.

This blog is a way for me to keep the thoughts away and do something fun and hopefully useful for someone else.

Music

I listen a lot to music and I listen to everything from Techno to Heavy Metal with some progressive rock, hip-hop and jazz in between.

I especially love these artists:

• Pink Floyd
• Adam Beyer
• Extreme
• Frank Zappa
• Front 242
• King Diamond
• Larry Carlton
• Nas

Litterature

I try to read now and then. I read mostly facts and occasionally science fiction or fantasy. In science fiction I really like Arthur C. Clark, Isaac Asimov and Douglas Adams. In science it’s Richard Dawkins. I read too little fantasy to have a favourite, but I do like JRR Tolkien a lot.

Feel free to contact me on Twitter, where I am several times per day.
