I actually did it. I defended my thesis last week. Believe it or not. I certainly do not. At least not yet. A summary of the thesis can be seen in the above picture (courtesy of Wordle). Now what?
Lately, being part of an academic environment, I have increasingly been aware of the insufficencies we face as human beings. Not that I don’t gape in astonishment of what is being achieved in both medical and technology related research advancements these days. But we have the potential to achieve so much more. And I feel, [...]

8 weeks have passed. I’ve been able to force myself doing short 15-25 minutes short runs, until my knee starts hurting. 2-4 times a week. It’s been frustrating. Especially since I need all the endorphines I can get after struggling with lack of results in the lab, and other, more personal issues… BUT! Today, I [...]
…meters. One hour, forty-nine minutes. I expected worse. Having gained interest in running during the summer, heavily influated by Lasse and fellow co-workers at Folkehelseinstituttet, I started running early August. Yesterday, I participated in Oslo Marathon, running the 1/2 marathon. I guess I’m kind of hooked. In September I ran a 11km off-road race, Sørkedalsløpet. [...]
Busk and myself have been on a movie spree the last three days. Three movies in as many days. And it’s been great. Not only did I enjoy the movies (“Good Night, And Good Luck”, “Capote” and “Mi:3″ (the last to a lesser extent than the first two)), what made it great was: Capote. 80 [...]
Initiating a new transformation process this Friday, I spent most of the weekend in the lab. Mostly … waiting. This evening, at 19:30, looking at the result (after restriction enzyme cutting): The transformation was successfull! Nothing to write home about, really… But. After a week of feeling crappy. Lacking results. Nothing going the way you [...]

Walking home today, oblivious to the rest of the world (or pretending to be) , hidden in my sphere of in-ear plugs and music, my playlist finally reached the Passengers track “Your Blue Room”. It’s been a while since last time. But it happens everytime, strong as no other tune: I’m back in 1995. In [...]

Nettopp tilbake fra noen særdeles avslappende dager på hytta (i Valdres, Aurdalsåsen). Dagene (fredag-onsdag) ble stort sett benyttet til skigåing og lesing. Det var dessverre begrenset med snø der (ca. 25cm), så få langrensløyper var kjørt opp. Men siden jeg kjøpte nye ski i fjor hadde jeg ikke mye valg; daglige turer ble utført. Tirsdagen [...]

I want an alternative way to sort my music. When I choose what to listen to, my mood decides. If it’s music that I relate to the mood I’m in. Or a mood I would want to be in. A combination would be great. Guess I have to compile a heavy list of playlists to [...]

The last few weeks have been rather busy. I finished all my exams (and they went better than I would have believed only a few weeks ago, thanks, Maje!), and now I’m back at my parents in the town of Fredrikstad. My grand mother (Mormor) passed away last week. The funeral will be next Thursday, [...]
