Introduction

Hi, my name is Dennis Ihlemann, I’m 21 years of age and I’m the guy behind Mintdash. I live in Denmark (located in Scandinavia) and here I spend most of my time with my wonderful girlfriend Marisa, my friends from time to time and other non-crazy things.

About Me

My Interests

Quick overview: blogging, design, typography, photography, reading books, music, movies, Japan, technology and pop culture.

I have a profound amount of respect and fascination with Japan. I have yet to go there, but I plan to someday. Even though I haven’t been there, I love everything about it. I love how they’re ahead of most countries regarding technology, which is another fascination of mine. Even though they are few and far between I also really love anime and it’s an artform I really appreciate. That’s the thing though, when I do find an anime movie or series I do like, I really, really like it. Japan also offers some truly amazing TV shows, both entertaining ones, but certainly also the dramas that tug at your heartstrings like there is no tomorrow. Furthermore they also have a brilliant selection of both feel-good TV shows and movies, that will make you realize that life can truly be beautiful. But don’t fret, I don’t write about Japanese stuff all the time.

Graphic design is something I’m very passionate about. I love looking at well designed blogs and especially ones that have outstanding typography, because as we all know web design is 95% typography. It’s not just on the computer that I’m a fan of great design, but also in real life as it’s something that we all see in everyday situations. Knowing a bit about and loving design has definitely made me look differently on stuff when I’m out, whether it’s a logo or an electronic device. Being so obsessed with design I’m naturally an avid user of Adobe’s Photoshop and love playing around with colors to see which ones go together and which ones don’t.

My blog initially started out known as Dennis Online on September 24, 2005 and I had wordpress.com hosting my blog. The URL was dennis.wordpress.com, but that didn’t last for long. Barely a month later on November 7, 2005 I decided to call my blog Orange Days and it was located over at orgday.org. Thanks to my brother who kindly offered to host my blog. Finally it became November 21, 2007 and that’s when the 3rd incarnation of this site entitled JUNO3.com started.

Random Facts

  • My favorite color is purple, which according to Wikipedia commonly represents “royalty, imperialism, funk, nobility,and upper class”.
  • I love Fueled By Ramen (as evident here), which is the record label behind some of my favorite bands such as Fall Out Boy, Paramore, The Academy Is… and Panic! At The Disco.
  • I’m fascinated with real people. Maybe that’s why I love documentaries (nearly regardless of subject) and prefer blogs over corporate websites.
  • Blogging is like therapy for me.
  • I desperately want to go to Japan at least once before I die.

  • I was once linked to by the Danish version of PC World, the biggest gaming magazine in Sweden and various other sites because of a post about Teen Buzz, the ringtone that only people under the age of 20 can supposedly hear.
  • I’m a bit of a nighthawk. I simply feel more creative and work more efficiently during nighttime… and sometimes I even feel happier.
  • I’m deeply fascinated with design and typography. Because of this I enjoy creating mockups of websites/blogs as you can see in my design portfolio. I also play around a lot with colors and various fonts. My favorite font is Helvetica Neue.
