I'm associate professor at Uppsala University, Department of Information Technology, Division of Computer Systems, where I have a web page with more information.

Argentinian tango takes more and more room in my life. Read more (in Scandinavian) at the Tango portal, or take a course?	One of my hobbies is to run the ancient operating systems TOPS-20 and ITS. Lately I've started playing with Lisp machines again.
	Sometimes I prune the bushes in my garden.

Secure e-mail is fun:

I use an S/MIME certificate to sign (and sometimes encrypt) my daily email. Get your own, for free, from StartSSL. I am a notary in their "Web of Trust" and can verify your identity there if you want. (I was a notary in Thawte's "Web of Trust" but they dropped the free certificates.)

This is not art though: www.flickr.com This is a Flickr badge showing public photos from Björn. Make your own badge here. Art is also fun, and can be combined with science.

Use good tools for the web!

Have fun looking at the automatic translation of this document into Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese. (But don't trust the translation, please!)
