I'm the curious Rasmus Kjær. I live in the intimate Aarhus (Denmark). My passion is electronic music, minimal UI design, front- and back-end web development. That's pretty much me.

Thoughts, and blurps about my projects

I'm blogging about my findings, projects, solutions to problems and other nerdy stuff over at my own company's blog (re-design in progress, so unavailable right now. A link will be added here as soon as it's available).

You may wanna follow me on Twitter as well.
