This will be a rambling, semi-incoherent post. It’s hard to put into words what I want to write, so I’ll get at it sideways: I'm turning my heartbreak into a playlist and talking about the songs (instead of talking about my feelings like a grown-up). The period from Fall 2024 to Fall 2025 has been... Continue Reading →
The Anarchist’s Guide to Corporate Change
Listening to the Ecology of Ideas Podcast with Alexis Shotwell, I got inspired to write this post. The episode is about getting around purity politics to affect political change, and it has some obvious anarchist inspirations. I found it ironic that I use pretty much the same principles to get things done in my corporate... Continue Reading →
No Multicolor, No Problem
The multicolor 3D printing is becoming more common. Bambulabs and their AMS, and Creality with CFS, we see a proliferation of multicolor printing. I do not have a multicolor printer. Over the years, I have dabbled with printing in multiple filament. I did this using a few hacks. Simplest one is to start the print... Continue Reading →
In Denmark nothing can be said to be certain, except cake and taxes.

Daring Duo: In Pursuit of Altered Items
As the girls grew older they didn't relate to the adventures of Monkey and Ferret sisters any more. So I wrote this one with the daring duo as the protagonists. The story was influenced a lot by what I was reading at the time. I am sure the bike that made horse sounds came from... Continue Reading →
John Stewart interviews Oren Cass: American Cluelessness.
I'm a big fan of Jon Stewart, and I watched his recent interview with Oren Cass (see here). While it was interesting, I was surprised Jon couldn't point to any clear examples of American "soft power." Maybe it's hard to recognize this from inside the US, given its advantages. It is easy for the rest... Continue Reading →
What I learned from being on a sinking ship?
I had a varied career. I have been lucky that my interests led me to opportunities in cutting edge of technology and business. I worked as a researcher/professor in universities on three continents, worked as a data scientist supporting a major R&D department, finally I led the cybersecurity efforts in a scale-up in critical infrastructure....
