In the summer of 2023, I spent two months hiking 1640 kilometers along the Swedish mountain chain, from the Grövelsjön mountain station in the south to the point where the borders of Sweden, Norway, and Finland meet in the far north. This winter, I’ll be doing that trip again, but with my trail runners and [ ] The post Planning my White Ribbon appeared first on Anders Norén .
I haven’t written a lot about hiking gear here, but if this blog is supposed to be a reflection of my interests, I really should be. Ever since I got into long-distance hiking five years ago, reading up on backpacks, tents, sleep systems and camping stoves has almost become an interest in and of itself.

A faux weight is what you get when your browser tries to synthetically recreate a font weight that a website is using without loading the correct font files. If you’ve been on the web for more than a few days and haven’t noticed this happening, you might want to stop reading here, because this is [ ] The post How to disable faux weights with CSS and font synthesis appeared first on Anders Norén .
I used iA Writer for the very first time on December 19, 2013. I know this because that’s the datestamp of the document that sits at the bottom of my iA Writer file list. In the years since, I’ve used the app to write almost everything, across three years of university studies, three different employments, [ ] The post Replacing iA Writer with Obsidian appeared first on Anders Norén .
Ever since me and Rebecka moved to the Swedish mountains back in 2023, my small collection of books about graphic design and web development have gathered dust in moving boxes in the garage. A couple of weeks ago, they finally got to see the light of day again after I got a new bookshelf set [ ] The post My favorite books on graphic design appeared first on Anders Norén .
Last year, I spent a weekend building my WordPress theme Pulitzer while documenting the whole process in a thread on Twitter. Since then, Twitter has become a hellish nightmare place that I want nothing to do with, so in January this year, I deleted my account and moved over to Bluesky. The Pulitzer thread and [ ] The post How I built my Pulitzer WordPress theme in a weekend appeared first on…
This March, I spent 13 days skiing the Southern Kungsleden trail the 250 kilometers from Sälen to Fjällnäs in the Swedish mountains, with all of my gear pulled behind me in my pulk. It was my first winter ski trip longer than a few days, and a trial run for a much longer one that [ ] The post Skiing the Southern Kungsleden Trail appeared first on Anders Norén .
The snow has been taking its time here in the southern end of the Swedish mountain chain this winter, and in lieu of skiing and winter camping, I got around to building another free WordPress theme. It’s called Spiekermann and is designed with blogs and portfolios in mind, but like most block themes, it can [ ] The post Introducing Spiekermann appeared first on Anders Norén .
Our original hiking plan for this August was a one-week trip to Jotunheimen national park in Norway. With the start date only days away, me and my partner Rebecka decided to heed the weather warnings and change our plans. We’ve been looking forward to visiting Jotunheimen for years, and we didn’t want to do it [ ] The post A summer hike in Vålådalen appeared first on Anders Norén .
For Midsommar this year, me, my girlfriend Rebecka and four of our friends stayed at the STF Grövelsjön mountain station. One of those friends, Wilda, was there to start her Green Ribbon – the same hiking adventure I went on last summer.
