This was the day after the attack, so August 11. I think I first read this article on the BBC: Norwegian shooting probed as terror attack. I think what stands out in the article is if you scroll down to almost the bottom, and it starts talking about reactions from Norway's Muslims: The shooting has… Continue reading Compare: how different countries reported on the Oslo mosque shooting

How the WIRED summer went
After our fellowship was done, we were all flown back to D.C., and we had a "poster fair". All of us fellows who had been placed at newsrooms pasted and arranged our articles on posters, and then we had some very nice and supportive guests tell us what a good job we had all done.… Continue reading How the WIRED summer went
Sweden in Berkeley
All the Swedish things you can find in Berkeley, California: 1. Bokmärken: Bokmärken are little pictures that little kids collect. They're like stickers, without the sticky part on the back.

I think the most I've seen is Germans. Sometimes you're walking along, and you just go from one… Continue reading All the tourists in San Francisco
Third article for WIRED
This article was going to be a triumph for me, for many different reasons. First, because it was about Sweden, pretty much. Second, because all the instagram/twitter/blog/facebook stalking I've done over the years came into handy. No one can say all of that was a waste of time any more. I went from a random… Continue reading Third article for WIRED
Smarmy in the interview
I was interviewing these people. I should have known they would turn out to be annoying because they were the only ones who had a secretary set the call up. And they're honestly not such important people anyways. Now you know where administrator fees go at a public university! They had an edge in their… Continue reading Smarmy in the interview
