Law of small numbers in statistics
I’m in the midst of reading “Thinking, Fast and Slow” by Daniel Kahneman. An extremely interesting book, if you have any interest in how you and others form their decisions. I will not discuss the entire book here, as obviously I haven’t finished it yet, but I would like to write a thing or two…

Minimum effective dose in training

Interview with Merlin Mann
I usually won’t just make a post, about an article someone else has written – but in this case I will make an exception. I had no idea who this guy was, before I read this interview; you might know him. But it is by far one of the best interviews I have read so…

Lessons learned from 30 days in Myanmar being disconnected
As some may know, I spent the entire month of April in Myanmar(Burma), on a solo trip, with my backpack. My main motivation for going there, was without a doubt, to see the country before it changes too much. I wanted to see this very different country, that seemed so shut off, compared to the…
