- Se, döden på dig väntar M Lang. [Reread?] I remembered the murder method, but absolutely nothing else.
- Tragedi på en lantkyrkogård M Lang. [Reread] Martel has noted how we never remember who the murderer is in detective stories, so they are rereadable many times.
- Rosor, kyssar och döden M Lang. Sex and drugs.
- The High Mountains of Portugal Y Martel. Closure of sorts at the end.
- Enciclopedia de la aviacion militar española № 101. It ends in the middle of a sentence, presumably one has to buy № 102 to find out how the story of the CANT Z.501 ends.
- Holistic Game Development with Unity, 3rd ed P de Byl. The code is very un-DRY. Maybe it’s a pedagogical choice, but it annoys me.
Places I keep track of
- IPMS Stockholm One of the best plastic modelling forums you'll find.
- Hyperscale More modelling stuff.
- Occasional kvetch Thnidu is a linguist and an old friend.

- Arkland Archaeology and random bits.
- Pharyngula Biology, politics and atheism. And eight-legged animals.

"I'm not"
My company's gonna be named Creative Plagiarism GmbH.
That's one term I really like: „GmbH“, both the random caps and the impressive full phrase in dire need of abbreviation: „Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung“.
Finnish humorist Markus Kajo, or "Kettunen", has published a nifty one-pager on the delights of the existence of GmbH. Sadly enough, I guess it has never been translated to other languages...
Kai, I just discovered your blog, and it appears definitely worth reading! :)
Suomea kyllä ymmärretään, lähetä linkki jos Kettusen teos on luettavissa.
Ajaj, tur att jag inte glömde bort detta.
Se GmbH-juttu on lyhyt. Voisin jossakin vaiheessa jäljentää sen käsin ja lähettää sinulle sähköpostitse, jos saan osoitteen.
Kiitos tarjouksesta. Lähetä osoitteeseen pointlessanecdotes@gmail.com.
Katajanmarjalle kiitos!
Katamaran-Kalles skithus!
Du får öva mer på uttalet…
