My name is Fredrik Bränström and I fight entropy with varying furiosity. At present, I'm a student and a web developer.

I spend my free time reading good non-fiction books, writing foxy code (mostly Ruby and Javascript), watching good TV and dreaming about the future.

I'm also on Twitter, Facebook, Shelfari and everywhere else.

The hearts of the previous generation of architects were closed to his vision; perhaps the next generation of architects will heed his call.
