German Exams: 2 down 1 to go!
I’ve done it! The two worst class room exams this year have been idled through and delivered. The first one, Tysk 1101, was 9 o’clock Monday, and I had looked up all the nearby cafés around campus to find out when they opened in order to secure a cup of coffee. I found a good […]
Nearing the exams (basic German)
The libraries are as full as my sinuses. It’s the Tide of Exams around Oslo University campus these days, and I have a hard time finding a place to read up on German grammar. And boy is there a lot to read.. As you have figured, I don’t have much time for blogging. Or anything […]
Latest Internet Relay Chat-logs (IRC)
Back by irregular demand, I fetch the best IRC quotes from bash.org for you kids. IRC, for you youngsters out there, is like a social network only live and anti-social. It’s also immoral, un-educational and probably unhealthy. Enjoy! #947444 // // Dear maintainer: // // Once you are done trying to ‘optimize’ this routine, // […]
Star Wars Blu-ray Marathon, minute by minute
Lady C recently bought the Complete Star Wars Saga on Bluray, and she decided that we would all get together to watch them chronologically over 2-3 evenings, starting tonight. Since we will begin with the beginning, The Phantom Menace, no one is here except for me, Lady C and her sister Vixen. I guess there […]
Quick Rendezvous in the Paris of the North
Bollicks to this, I’m off to Tromsø! Actually, the both of us are taking a day trip to Tromsø to get some business done and say hello to my pops. It’ll be nice to see the north again, even if it’s just for a day. I’m in the middle of my midterms right now, so […]
Noam Chomsky on the American Empire
Today’s Chomsky talk was historical/political: Changing Contours of World Order. As you can see, there was a lot of people attending, some 1100 people had to watch it streamed to a cinema in the basement of Chateau Neuf. I had a ticket though, and got the 3rd left seat at the very far back of […]
Chomsky on 'Newton's contribution to the study of mind'
I just attended Noam Chomsky‘s first appearance at the University of Oslo, today’s topic was Newton and the mechanical world-view, Chomsky’s critique of the concept of limitless explanatory power introduced by the mechanical world-view (Newton), presented at the Center for the Study of Mind in Nature. It’s quite apparent that the CSMN did not anticipate […]
Look! I'm learning! Sehen! Ich lehrne!
I’m starting this intensive German semester on Monday, and in that regard I bought the entire curriculum of 2 years’ worth of Deutsch in High School. I’ve traversed 50 pages in Reading and Work material since, with too much left that I’ll finish in time. But that’s of no worry, since the curriculum for my […]
I Quit My Job
Like some of my readers noted, in my New Year’s post I promised that 2011 would be the year of changes, alluding to something so secret and destructive only a bunch of kids with vintage recording equipment (say VHS or Super 8) would be able to reveal it to the world! I was thinking about […]
