Old Norwegian saying: «Leave work before the sun goes down - and climb to higher ground if it has already disappeared behind a building.»
Best I could do. Meetings should end when a nice sunset happens.

Getting many new follows from accounts that look like real people but that I don’t quite believe. It’s unsettling. Discrimination is getting more difficult.

Not a huge Ed Sheeran fan but we’re watching «One Shot» in New York and it’s pure joy! (And I really appreciate what he’s doing for music education in the UK!)

Oslo is covered with a thin layers of snow. Not enough for a winter wonderland but enough to make pavements slippery. Nydalen, Oslo

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

Friday again and (after a short break) homemade pizza again! To prove that I’m not a boring middle-aged Dad, I made it while listening to a Keane CD with the volume turned up a wee bit. Wishing you all a wonderful, peaceful, safe, and happy weekend! Be kind!

Absolutely phenomenal concert with the Unni Wilhelmsen Trio live at John Dee, Oslo. 2025-11-13 Great voice, great band, and a very entertaining and genuine performer. She will be doing a bigger show 24. October 2026 - highly recommended!

Another example of "hey, we could use the noise in GPS to measure..." This time it's the ionospheric delay being used to observe tsunami propagation in near real time (10s of minutes). @sdpwilliams.bsky.social @funwithgps.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...
'It sounded kind of crazy': How ripples in the high atmosphere warned scientists of a tsunami in real time
Tsunamis are notoriously difficult to spot on the open ocean as they race towards shore. But in the summer of 2025, scientists watched one unfold as it happened.

Yup!
![Comic. Someone is claiming to predict the exact date of a future earthquake. Should you listen? [flowchart: start] → NO (There are big earthquakes constantly, so if anyone ever *does* figure this out, it will be immediately obvious that their method works and then the world’s seismologists will not shut up about it. You won’t need this flowchart.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreic7wdqg4w6qfevbqzzq4esd6237pojsnpwsrbb7gaxsxobqaiwazm@jpeg)

Level 42 live in Oslo 2025-11-09. That was incredible! Would have been worth the price of the ticket for the bass guitar alone. I could have seen them back in the 80s when it would have been cool, but better late than never:) I’ve seen some *legendary* bass players but MK is just something else!
