I'm not going to bore you all with details about my personal ups and downs of 2008. All I can say is that 2008 has been a very difficult year for me in terms of allocating time and resources for all the projects that I'm working on. Running two businesses and still have time to spend with my family isn't an easy task! My wife, who's taking care of the overall business administration of my companies, has patiently stand by my side and helped me more than I could ask for. She's a keeper and I love her deeply!

On behalf of me and NEriks Audio I would like to thank all our friends and all our clients for a wonderful 2008. A special thanks goes to Ulf Edelönn and the Fitzpatrick team who enthusiastically have supported us in regards to our work related to vintage synthesizers as well as modern gear from Moog Music. I would also like to thank Mattias Olsson of Roth Händle Studio in Stockholm for being a great friend as well as a huge source of inspiration for a technical geek like me!

It's with great passion for music and technology that I'm entering 2009 as head of the everyday activates of NEriks Audio. I'm feeling very enthusiastic about the future and I hope that 2009 will bring a lot of new and interesting challenges to us. 2008 was a bit of disaster for our product development, mainly because we didn't allocated enough time for the development of products. During 2009 we will cease to provide engraved front panels as a measure to get more time for our product development.
