the dead, the food & the living
Fine days, hard work. I am getting a blister on my neck from the chain for the ID card. I guess that means we’ve been here a while. Continue reading “the dead, the food & the living” »
shelter from the storm
One of the boys ended up in hospital for a few days, and everything stopped for 48 hours or so. We had a glimpse into the health care system here, and it was – retrospectively – interesting. Continue reading “shelter from the storm” »
squirrels & nuts
Squirrels are the best pea-brains I know of. Oportunistic, curious, adaptable; and wonderfully forgetful. It always makes me smile when passing a tree, rock or building, with a little tree growing out of it. Forgotten nuts moves nature around. Continue reading “squirrels & nuts” »

Washington D.C. revisited
Again; arrived safe and sound. D.C. is still buried under big piles of snow, and it was a close call wether the plane would land at Dulles or not, but a bit of luck there. Continue reading “Washington D.C. revisited” »

Born in medieval times. the bookbinder, the GPS and the e-book
I study digital media. I was born in the early 70′. I am a dinosaur. My fellow students are 15+ years younger than me – born in another era, on a different planet. We learn roughly the same things from opposite directions; we each hold an end of the stick. Continue reading “Born in medieval times. the bookbinder, the GPS and the e-book” »
best books – non-fiction
Some of the best non-fiction books I have read. Some of them are not necessarily well written, and would not win prices for excellent language; at least one of them is actually annoying in that respect, but I have included them because the subject is interesting/important. I am sure I have forgotten some, but there you go. Teflon brain.

At least in this day and age, blue get a good deal of attention. But it was not always so- Continue reading “The colour blue – the devil, the virgin and the red dyers’ bribes” »
