Brune øjne?

2008/02/24 23:57
Da Anna blev født, var hendes øjne nærmest skiferfarvede.Med tiden blev de mere og mere klart grå, men i dag fik jeg pludseligt øje på en lille brun plet (omkring vestsydvest) i hendes venstre øje.Er det et tegn på, at hun er ved at få brune øjne som sin mor? Eller blandede øjne som sin morfar og faster? Eller er...

Smile?

2008/02/21 22:29
I've been a satisfied customer with smile, the Internet bank, for years. They pay decent interest on a current account, cash-back on the credit card, and their email-based customer service is normally helpful and fairly efficient.My first grievance with them was when I added Phyllis to my credit card last year. They didn't give her a separate pin number, and...

Ryanair must be reading this blog. It’s less than a month ago that I blogged that they should be opening a route from Billund in Denmark to Scotland instead of one to Birmingham.

And now they’re finally doing what I’ve been waiting for ever since I moved to Scotland, opening a direct route. The one they’re starting is Edinburgh-Billund, which makes good sense, I guess. Aarhus Airport is a bit far away from most attractions, and so is Prestwick.

Just a shame they’re not opening it in time for the summer holidays.

Some years ago, while I still lived in Denmark, I went to a TeX conference in the Netherlands. During the conference, we went on a day trip to Maastricht, and I got a chance to pop off to a specialist beer shop (together with Arne if my memory serves me well) where I bought different beers, especially some that I had never seen before.When I got back home, I went on to taste them, and I still remember that there...

ID cards

2008/02/21 23:03
I got another email from Nick Clegg today about his opposition to ID cards. I must admit my opposition to them is much more subtle.I'm actually in favour of a simple ID card scheme, if it's seen primarily as a cheaper passport. That is, if one could buy a passport-light which consisted only of the laminated page with the photo...
What does a scientist cost?
2008/02/20 22:47
I was flicking through the job ads in New Scientist today, and as usual, I was appalled by the salary levels. Some examples: Acoustic scientist in the navy: £25,000.Middle Atmosphere Scientist (PhD required): £29,360–£34,630.Post Doctoral Research Scientist (biochemistry): £24,200–£27,200.Scientist –...
Water

Dominic Lawson has a good rant about water in The Independent today.He's questioning why so many people are drinking so much water:This organised panic about dehydration seems to stem from a misreading – quite possibly deliberate – of guidelines from...
