Time and time again, psychologists and philosophers alike ponder the ancient question: What is Happiness? To which I must answer, of course: An awesome movie from 1998 by Todd Solondz ! A few days ago I put the poster for the movie (shown above) in a frame I found in the trashcan of a house [...]
So, having returned to the states after a long, wonderful summer vacation, I think it’s time to get this blog up and running again. Much of my time in the lab these days is spent doing manual segmentation, which is basically separating the gray and white matter in our brain scans. This is probably the [...]
As some of you might know, I’ve started to learn skiing here at Dartmouth. It’s incredibly convenient, because they have a skiway just 20 minutes away from campus. I take classes every Friday, and try to go on Saturday too, because it is free. I am still not an expert, but I am getting better [...]
On October 12th Zarah, my-one-of-a-kind-girlfriend, came to visit me in the US. We stayed in New York for a few days, and headed up to Dartmouth afterwards. Really good times, although it almost broke my heart to have to say goodbye after 9 days. Pictures from her visit can be seen here and here – [...]
So I was trying to look up some colourful posters for the walls of my room, which is pretty boring and institutional right now. I remembered the books that impressed me as a kid, and found this great poster by Maurice Sendak:
I think it looks great and it’s kinda ironic too, which doesn’t hurt. [...]
I have a midterm take home exam in the graduate class “PSYC100: Statistics and Measurement” due on Thursday, which might be the reason why I am posting so much these days. I was pretty worried about this exam, since statistics is not really my strong suit, and some of the questions are really hard. After [...]
Just a quick heads up for everyone who hasn’t seen it yet: you can see a wonderful map of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, where I am currently living and studying, by pressing the link at the top right corner. In my humble opinion: It kicks ass!
A few weeks ago the zipper on one of the pockets on my lovely new winter jacket (see below) broke. Fortunately, I was going to New York to hang out with my almost equally lovely (kidding) girlfriend, so I had the chance to go the store and complain. I don’t know what I’d expected, but [...]
Kære Allesammen,
Så tog jeg mig endelig sammen til at få skrevet den her mail. Hovedformålet med den er faktisk at give jer mulighed for at se de her billeder. De af jer der bruger facebook har set mange af dem, men nu er de tilgængelige for alle, og nemt er det også! Der er 19 [...]
Hej alle sammen,
Endnu en fællesmail, men stadig ingen billeder online! Ja, jeg ved det godt, men der er altså bare en del ting at tage sig af her på stedet. Til mit forsvar har det også regnet stort set konstant siden jeg ankom, så evt. billeder af campus ville heller ikke have været vanvittigt [...]
