Sometimes I think about our dependence of travel. Do we need to travel as much as we do? We are taught that travel should be fast, but what do we miss by traveling slowly? #mbnov

The most interesting “Swinglish” expression I’ve seen lately (in a US conference paper written by Swedes) is “weather strokes” as a translation for “väderstreck”. I guess that the correct translation would be “compass directions”.

Lovely company during today’s walk, the raven is soaring somewhere above me “singing” the fantastic sound that ravens have.

I first thought this email was a sign that I was older than I thought “You Are Eligible for ACM’s Senior Members Grade” 😋 but it turned out that it was some kind of … “senior member grade” when you have “must have demonstrated performance through technical leadership, and technical or professional contributions”.
Well, this means I that I won’t become a “senior member”

Every year an organization here in Sweden declares what is “The Christmas Present of the Year”, previously it has been things like CD player, electric bike, video camera, etc. This year it’s a “camping stove” (not sure about the translation of “stormkök”)! Another Covid sign 😋

I still wonder how the graduation will go, have I given them good enough feedback, instruction and time to train on the techniques? #mbnov

I’m a kid instructor at the local ju-jutsu club and my group have had their spring graduation ceremony postponed due to Covid. During autumn they have continued training with the goal of graduating in Dec. Yesterday the government announced new restrictions and my club is now considering a complete shutdown (previously kids < 15 years were exempt).
So to avoid a second postponed graduation they are having their graduation tests today … surprise !!! I hope they do well.
