One of the major issues with writing a thesis is not writing the thesis itself. Reading articles, evaluating methods, hacking some scripts, all parts comes together pretty nicely at one point or another. No, actually writing a thesis is like talking a walk in the park. As long as you have unlimited resources that is. [...]

When you speak to someone (speak in the sense face to face IRL) you use so much more than words. You communicate with your whole body. You might smile, make hand gestures and nod your head in agreement.
It is often said that human communication consists of 93% body language and paralinguistic cues, while only 7% [...]

A few weeks back I stumbled upon this blog post by Matt Biddulph, former CTO of Dopplr, where he explains how he used the Github API to find potential people for recruitment. The idea is tantalising!

Meeting students from other universities is always a fruitful experience and this weekend I had the opportunity to accompany a friend to a house-warming party in Stockholm [...]

The dangers of being lazy
Stress is a very dangerous illness. Yet, many of us suffer from it.
I have never seen stress as something serious. I mean, every day you hear about it, because everyone is stressed. Just like everyone is feeling tired when they get up early in the mornings, or getting hungry when it’s time for lunch. It’s [...]

******* mouse! My arm >.
Kitty Kittiwat, a newfound idol of mine, having a masters degree in biochemistry and running an oriental spa (which I find very impressive) taught me some very wise things about the body: Take care of it now, you’ll never get it back.

Hidden underneath the snow
Robert Broberg, a Swedish artist, once wrote a song with the following paragraph “Det som göms i snö, kommer upp i tö” which roughly translates to “What’s hidden underneath snow, will show in thaw.” Since we actually have a white Christmas this year and most everything in my dad’s garden is covered in snow I [...]
