Profile

Age:: 26

Hometown:: Uppsala

A Little Bit About Me:: I'm from Uppsala, Sweden, Scandinavia in Northern Europe.

Right now I'm doing my PhD in computational chemistry, which basically means that I'm hunting for new drugs using computer-aided simulations on mainframes in Sweden. I'm in the Aqvist group, and my speciality is quantum mechanics.

My favourite drink is Cuba Libre, preferably with Captain Morgan, but any old rum will do if it´s late enough in the evening and the music´s good.

Favorite Music:: My music taste is alternative and I mostly listen to internet radio, Radio Wazee and Groove Salad on Soma FM are my absolute favorites.

If you want to listen to some swedish, I uploaded a few songs on the playlist here.

Favorite TV Shows:: I really enjoy JETSET, of course, and I'm also into Jericho, I really hope that they' ll have the decency to finish it, I need to know how it all ends. Who nuked Denver? And why?

Favorite Websites:: Blogs
Right now I'm primarily interested in life improvement and productivity, basically little tips and tricks on how I can I can grow and develop both as a person and professionally. My absolute favourite blog on this subject is ZenHabits, but I can also recommend Dumb Little Man, Lifehacker, Get Rich Slowly, Lifehack.org, The Happiness Project and 43 Folders.

The geeky side of me likes Cyberpunk Review and whichever new open source app that's being blogged on Linux.com.

News
My primary news feeds are Slashdot, the Register,
Wired, NatureNews and ScienceNow.

Social Media
All the major ones, del.icio.us, digg, reddit, no surprises here. The clips that get posted here in my blog come mostly from stumbling.

Earlier today I had this sensation of feeling really good. This happens now and then - moments of happiness when everything seems perfect, when I'm content with who I am and where I'm heading with my life. The funny thing is, whereas we spend a lot of time and effort trying to figure out why we feel down - we even pay professionals to figure it out - we almost never stop to think about why we feel good.

Jose is really from Sweden? Wow. I would have never guessed. He is an amazing guitarist. The first time I ever heard him I saw him playing his guitar. It blew my mind that someone could be that talented.
