Family, travel, everyday humanity, and the beautiful chaos of two kids and two cats.

  • Welcome. I’m glad you pulled up a chair.

    I’m Steinar Mc Shane Eriksen. I live in Larvik, Norway, with my wife, our two kids, and two cats who run the place.

    I’m the founder of Avilo AS, a company that delivers software and hardware solutions across multiple industries—with a particularly strong footprint in alundries. (Yes, that usually makes people curious. I’ll explain someday.)

    I love my business. Not just the success of it—but the game of it. Building, solving, innovating, leading. I’m still the kind of founder who gets excited about a new idea at 10 PM on a Tuesday.

    This blog is about all of it. Business, food, photos, family. Because life doesn’t fit into one box.

    You’ll find me writing about:

    The Founder – milestones, failures, leadership, and what I’m learning while building.

    The Table – food, recipes, and the people I share them with.

    The Frame – photography through my Fujifilm X100V. Moments, light, the world as I see it.

    The Life – family, travel, everyday humanity, and the beautiful chaos of two kids and two cats.

    I travel for work and for pleasure. I cook. I take pictures. I talk with my hands when I’m explaining a recipe. I close deals in the morning and make tacos for the kids at night.

    This is my digital kitchen table. Some days we’ll talk business. Some days we’ll eat. Some days I’ll just show you a photo that stopped me in my tracks.

    Pull up a chair. Stay awhile.

    There’s no order here. Just life.
