Swedishish

We Swedes have always been a breed unique to all others in the world. Through the past centuries our innovative conceptives have known no bounds, and ever since the grand era of Vikings we have continually slashed ourself a wider and brighter path towards the new hope our alternative futures may bring. In later tidings with much fewer gradients of brutality, but towards the future nevertheless. I know we have a great deal of genius behind us. Zippers, dynamite, propellers, a multitude of varied inventions.

In the new age we have been first with many things, we were the first country to introduce the 100 mbps broadband connection speed, and the first country to introduce the 1000 mbps speed. We were first with 3G, we will be first with 4G. The file-sharing community has reached revolutionary levels in Sweden, piracy has breached controversy and heads towards politics, we introduce new methods of thinking and are thus even quoted by other magazines as 'the country who rules the world' (wish I had a reference for that, but you can probably Google something up). Not all progress is positive, but all progress is progress, and I am positively surprised when I at times stumble upon our inventions online. Did you know Spotify is Swedish? How about Skype? And the TinyMCE text editor? Every once in a while I stumble upon a script made by some Swedish designer, some of them recognized worldwide, and it just makes me go wow and want to make a blog about it, so here you go.

Not only scripts I find, but also translations come to mind. For new open-source forum systems, blogging platforms and other nifty programs released in international English standard, a Swedish language file seems to be one of the first one that pops up, and that makes me, obviously, happy. It might be the climate, the balance between hot and cold, or maybe the two hundred thousand larger puddles that decorate our landscapes, but in terms of inspiration this nation is divinity. Politicians may lead our country astray, form unions with unresourceful options such as EU and sell out all successful government-owned Swedish companies, but on the Internet we win race supreme. It's not surprising to know that everyone knows little Sweden, yet it does surprise me every time I learn why. Ode in blog form, complementary.
