The last time I made a video about Sweden, it was fall 2017. Can't believe we're 6 years past 2017. The time gap was not intentional. I just got caught up with other things. But I finally got one done. . Taylor Swift singing about Sweden (Mirrorball): I made this in Blender 3D. I tried… Continue reading A new video about Sweden
I think this is one of my favorite scenes I've ever made in Blender: Those are the angel chimes completed, and I have them spinning; and as they spin, they shoot sparkly hearts out the mouths of the trumpets of the angels!
I love angel chimes. They are so gorgeous. I have one at home, it has 3 trumpeting angels and a star on the top. So, I've been creating a 3D version in Blender. I'm using the clearest angel-chime photo I could find online to help get it all right. I can't wait to finish it,… Continue reading Angel chimes in Blender3D
I was on a long train ride recently, and I traced out this trumpeting angel in Blender: Trumpeting angel in Blender I love these angels! I recently found out you can see statues of some of them in Philadelphia, along the Schuylkill River. If you are in the area, I would definitely go check them… Continue reading Trumpeting angels in Blender
Nordic Nest is an (on-line only?) store in Sweden. You can get all sorts of stuff from Sweden on it. The site seemed very legitimate, so one day, I thought, what the heck, and placed an order. As soon as I press 'pay', however, I got a notice from my credit card -- they wanted… Continue reading Ordering from Nordic Nest

So the job title, and the job focus, were pretty much the summary of my PhD, which I had just finished. I sent my application in to SIPRI (Swedish International… Continue reading Job racism in Sweden and Europe
A long, long time ago -- 2012 to be exact! -- I read an article in the Huffington Post. It was a somewhat whiny article, I thought, and it was in response to some sort of uproar about Muslims in America happening at the time (though there have been so many uproars, I don't even… Continue reading Finding a Syrian-Danish-American online
I read the first Harry Potter book in Swedish. Here's all the words I was able to learn, either by context clues, or by remembering what the exact phrase in the original book was (so cool when that happened). Maybe you will recognize the scenes and the reason for these words, too: bläck -- ink… Continue reading Swedish words learned from Harry Potter
On this day, there were 1.9 million cases globally. In Sweden, there were 11,927 cases. And about 1200 deaths in Sweden. Yesterday, Anders Tegnell, who is the national epidemiologist, got a grilling, so he must have been tired. So today, it was Anders Wallensten talking. He's the vice-national epidemiologist. He said: we think we finally… Continue reading Sweden coronavirus press conference, April 15, 2020
Today it was very tense in the press conference. I never saw it like this before. On this day, there were 1.9 million cases worldwide. They gave the numbers for Sweden, as well, but they said: there's still probably cases stuck in the system somewhere that haven't reached the national database. (Spoiler: I think they… Continue reading Sweden coronavirus press conference, April 14, 2020
