I’ve decided to try out the Tumblr format with a new picture/comment stream at http://confessionsofabikecommuter.tumblr.com/ with a somewhat steady stream of updates (every weekday).

Me and my bike

I bike – alot. Training for triathlon and now also a 2x16km commute every day. Most of that time I listen to podcasts. For the toughest workouts I might switch to music, but most often I really enjoy the podcasts.

Last year I got bitten by the triathlon bug during Copenhagen 4:18:4. Since then I started learning the front-crawl, more biking and consistent running. This spring I even joined KVIK Tri Team here at Amager and that really took my swimming up to a new level.

• For some reason it is easier to get powder milk in your coffee than fresh milk. The mind boggles
• They like their “fietsen” here. Bicycles almost as many as I see in copenhagen.
  

I have recently handed in a report as a part of my masters/candidate in Computer Science at University of Copenhagen – “Visualizing blobs and computation in a biomolecular computation model“. It sounds very fancy and I would like to introduce the subject and my report here in hopefully a less dry way than in the report it self. (This post will be in a “anecdotal” style and will not contain citations for all the facts.

I’ve recently been reading up on Dynamic Graph Layout specifically with regards to “preserve the mental map” or “maintaining dynamic stability”.

It looks like I’ve gotten all the way around the currently published articles with this list:
