In April 1994 I started working on the Opera browser with Geir Iversøy, my co-founder. I worked at Opera for 17 years, leaving it after disagreeing with investors about the way forward. Two years later I co-founded @Vivaldi with Tatsuki Tomita and Anne Stavnes. This was in 2013.

For more than 30 years we have provided alternatives to Big Tech. First with Opera and now with Vivaldi. The focus has always been quite different from our competitors. More features, more privacy, more flexibility. Lately it has also meant the choice to avoid things like Crypto and Blockchain, avoid integrating AI and avoid integrating surveillance. This is not given. Most of our competitors are building in one or more of the above.

If you like what we are doing and our stand, feel free to download Vivaldi. If you are already with us, please tell your friends.

The first World Fencing League is happening from April 25th and it will debut this amazing "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event.

Developed by Japanese engineers, and - trust me and watch - it makes fencing simply stunning viewing 🤺

The colour of my soul

This is the first piece from my Birthplace Series. The brick red tones come from #clay collected from a duck pond I used to visit when I was a toddler and the photo image is of me and my childhood best friend at that pond when we were probably three or four years old. It’s very bittersweet, realizing that my birthplace isn’t exactly home to me after my last visit. Also, many years ago, I found an obituary for my friend online. We’d lost touch after I moved away at age 5. #pottery

"For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. 'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom? 'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break!"

was it a soft landing?
did the ice crystals stick
to your blue feathers...
and did you shut your eyes?

I make raku pottery.

Which means clay, fire, smoke . . . and a little bit of chaos and magic.✨

These are my newest vessels from the flames. 🔥

If you feel like helping them find their people, a like or share means so much.🙏

Wishing you joy in the chaos 💙
