It is Saturday. May 23rd 2026. It is the week where I received the word from my doctor that my blood pressure is insanely high. That happened on Monday May 18th.
And this incident; the feeling of having dodged the bullet (since we discovered this without a prior incident), and the reminder of the memento mori principle – it has led me to ask new questions. Or, perhaps rather, to ask old questions all over, but as new iterations of those questions.
DLTQ as a concept started in March 2002. I was living in Brussels then, and I had turned 24 years old. I decided to adopt this new mantra as a constant reminder to myself.
To never stop being curious.
To never stop going deeper.
To never accept status quo.
Well, a lot of water has passed under that bridge since 2002. I am now 48 years old; double the age of what I was then. I am the father of a 15 year old boy, and I have moved from Oslo to Kongsberg outside Oslo, and I work as a project manager at the competence centre of a large labour union for engineers and developers in Norway.
The water has passed, but these new questions are linked to the old ones, the ones that came before March 2002, and the ones after that milestone.
Today, this Saturday, I re-start DLTQ. Yes, I had sort of moved on from DLTQ (dltq.org) to str.is (str.is) in late 2025, but I never really gave up on the DLTQ mantra. And here we are. New questions, and old, and me who is still here.
So.
What to expect from this version of dltq.org?
More meandering, like it was in the past. I have the wayback machine tracks from 2005 until now.
More experimentation. Back in 2005, it was all about videoblogging, which was my thing back then. Now, I am mostly dealing with AI, and specifically AI swarms – I have a separate www.sverm.ai website that is currently in Beta.
More iterations. Yes, that’s it.
Iterations on who I am, what I do, what I am interested in, and what I am avoiding. (I left Twitter/X and Meta in August 2025).
Iterations on questions, until I iterate towards something more interesting. Maybe. Possibly maybe.
I will try to be clear when my blog entries have been AI assisted, or pure AI written, or just me typing whatever comes to my head. I will have different categories for that.
May 23rd 2026. A new reset. Welcome!
