About Reine

Who the…?

I am a web developer from Gothenburg, Sweden. You may easily spot me having a mezzo at Matteo, dressed in black on an industrial dance floor or roaming deserted streets on cold autumn days.

I’ve been singing from the stage of Moulin Rouge in Paris, danced waltz at the Swedish Championships and assisted a fire juggler in San Francisco without burning to ash. But not all at the same time.

What the…?

I work as a web developer at NetRelations, where I enjoy creating modern accessible web sites with great user experience based on web standards.

I have been doing stuff for the web since 1994 and loved every second of it. The web has made communication, cooperation and daily life a lot easier for millions of people in just a decade of time. It should be available for everyone, regardless of any obstacles whether they be social, cultural or geographical.

This web site has been online for 17 years, so why not read more about Mink Machine.

Where the…?

Traveling is one of my biggest passions which provides me with endless amounts of inspiration. I love to walk around in large cities, surrounded by the creative chaos of mankind.

I’ve endured the plains of Mongolia, the fumes of Sao Paulo and the food of New Zealand. But nevertheless I still spend too much of my time between travels on planning the next one, as long as someone doesn’t distract me with ice cream.

I despise Charles de Gaulle airport almost as much as I love ice cream from Cold Stone. Unfortunately that wee airport is a lot closer than nearest Cold Stone, so I obviously need to escape on the next plane.

In Asia I am frequently mistaken for Godzilla. That’s ok. Just don’t fire your tanks at me or I will crush Tokyo under my giant feet.

How the…?

Music is a big part of my life and I visit a lot of clubs and concerts, preferably towards industrial and EBM.

As a frequent visitor to cinemas, I used to write brutally honest rants at Dubbeldissarklubben. But contrary to common belief, I don’t run the official Josh Hartnett fan club.

After all, this is bat country.
