About
I’m Kristin Breivik. Unfortunately, 10 other people in Norway can say the same thing. For the record, I’m not the one into my roots and my family tree, not the one who researches on multiple sclerosis and headaches, and not the one who knows a whole lot about geophysics, and that likes to attend dildo parties.
I do however love the World Wide Web and all that’s possible within it. That’s why I rule the google race between me and the other Kristin Breiviks out there. As you can see in the sidebar, I am all over the place. Muahahaha!
Quite often, though, I go by the name DietroVetro. I like the sound of it. And it actually means something. It means ‘behind glass’ in Italian and was a name meant for my very own coffee house once. But the blog came before the coffee house, and I’m glad. First of all because I’m more of a tea person[N] myself. Second of all, because this blog sort of was the concrete start of my fascination for new media. It also gave me a part time blogging job while I was studying, and then it gave me another job[N] that made me quit my studies all together. Never regretted that, though I would like to take a Master’s degree sometime. You’ll find more about the professional me under CV.
Also, this blog gives me a reason for writing, which I love. For over 3 years, I wrote in Norwegian. Now I’m trying to write mainly in English for various reasons. It might become a bit confusing for my non-Norwegian readers in a transmission period, but at least I’ll mark everything Norwegian with an [N] like I did above.
To sum it up (or broaden the perspective), I’m passionate about: being passionate, user experience, new media, webdesign, boxes and arrows (especially in OmniGraffle), nice words[N], making listst, tea with the right amount of milk and sugar, lindy hop, Italy[N], and old bikes.
