Colleague, this week: “I went to a really good cat modeling conference …”

Me, for about 2 seconds: Cat modeling? I have a cat! He could totally model. 😸

Me, at 3 seconds: but what does that have to do with our work 🤔

Me, at 4 seconds: ….insurance CATastrophe risk modeling… 😂

It’s so nice to wake up to sunshine and blue skies! I’m so happy that winter is finally over.

I saw a huge storm in my dream, and now I wonder what it means. I wasn’t afraid or anything like that. In my dream, I was inside, and I noticed that my window was open. And I had to push it really hard to get it closed. After that, everything outside went dark, and I woke up.

Quite interesting story

A few days off, time to relax.

Every time...

Same old story: I’m waiting for a package to be delivered only to get a message saying that nobody was home, even though I’ve been present for the whole time, and the courier didn’t even try to deliver it. Now I have to go get it myself from a collection point, even though it was a home delivery.

Groovy tunes 🎷🎶

Sunday funday, what should I do tonight? Sure, it would be nice to meet friends or to go out, but Monday is creeping in, and I can’t just do whatever I want. So, gym it is.

This is the best thing on the internet today.

Never let the printer see that you’re in a hurry. Just act natural; it can smell fear.

The artist and his work

I slept really well, and now I’m ready for my 4/4 night shift. I’m also so excited for the upcoming weekend. It’s nice to have free time and do something else than work.

A white statue of Charles Darwin sitting crossed legged on a chair. On the image, there’s text saying ‘Happy 217th birthday Charles Darwin!’. A birthday hat with polka dots has been photoshopped on top of the statue’s head.

Guess who’s turning 217 today? It’s Charles Darwin! 🥳

Born in 1809, he transformed the way we understand the natural world. He developed the theory of evolution by natural selection in his 1859 best-seller, ‘On the Origins of Species’.

This complex brain network may explain many of Parkinson’s stranger symptoms — NPR Parkinson’s disease appears to disrupt a brain network involved in everything from movement to memory.

Interesting research here.

OK, but no jokes about circles.
They’re pointless.

Thursdays are not good for me. Fridays, on the other hand, are awesome!

What if you have to jump from one ice plate to another?

Time to travel. I’m going to Tallinn!

Desert Flowers (by me)

I found this little game named Mini Motorways, and now I’m obsessed with it. Building an infrastructure and following cars buzzing around is so addictive and calming.

It’s negative degrees outside, and I really don’t want to go.

And you run and you run to catch up with sun, but it’s sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again

Deep breaths. Goodnight blue sky

While some folks are still reeling from the shock value introduction of the fresh Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC rocking parts and the 5.2-liter supercharged Predator V8 engine from the Mustang GTD, along with a seven-speed DCT, the virtual artist 'wnvld' is already dreaming of cool new stuff.

Oh no, it’s snowing again 🙄

This is my feel-good song 🎧

Going late to bed was actually a good decision.
