“My name is Dennis Bjørn Petersen and I’m from Denmark. I’ve been drinking for 31 years now. It all started out with breastfeeding, then on to cow-milk, sodas, juice around the age of 19 I started to drink wine and gin then at 21 I had a beer and now I drink beer sometimes once a week!”

This Danish born blog has some interesting tidbits. The stories aren’t framed in boring techspeak—they are accessible and conversational. The blog has an easy to navigate design, it’s neither too text or photo heavy. It also has good stories—worth a read if you’re into tech.

Will it offer more user interactive features such as commenting or even ratings?
