Johan Brook

I’m coding & designing, and I like working with product, user experience, and interface design. And other things too.

I’d like to write more (don’t we all), and I consume a (un)healthy amount of music.

You can reach me via email or Mastodon. I live in Stockholm, Sweden.


My fav track is ♫ Majestätiskt by Thåström.

    I really enjoy listening to Baxter Dury. His voice is very unique, and he’s talking over the music in a cool way. I can just keep him in the background with his London accent.

    It’s something with the series The Bear, I’m just so swept away by the acting in it. In every scene, there’s often some gold.

    They sort of slow things dooooown so much in some settings, and it’s panicky hell elsewhere. Like in life. And how they swing between real deep talk-y bits one second and show a short piece of funny moronic “what the actual fuck you meatheads” shittalk in the next.

    Seen and done

    We've visited a couple of wine estates in the Western Cape area since we got here. And boy, do they have their sales machine up and running. We've mostyl been in the Paarl and Franschhoek areas, but also some in Constantia — closer to Cape Town city centre. I love the relaxed setting most of these places have (people in restaurants, shops, bars are so nice in Cape Town) as well as the divine combo of affordable prices and playgrounds for kids right in the seating area.
