March 2023

I got a new bike!

Traveling

Like February, I started the month by taking the train to Oslo. It was frigid there, but some days were sunny and dry, which made it possible to skate outside for the first time this year!

After a week in Oslo, I flew out to Ericeira in Portugal, where I spent the week surfing with friends from Trondheim :)

Toward the end of the month, I got to attend the UX Copenhagen conference. I gained some practical knowledge on font selection and got to experience Copenhagen once again. It has grown to be one of my favorite cities!

Reading

I read two books this month, Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, The Flesh and LA by Eve Babitz, and Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. I’ve also started reading Bicycle Diaries by David Byrne, which I’m enjoying so far!

Programming

While in Oslo, I spent my days at the office working on Oslonøkkelen while jumping in and out of meetings for different school assignments. All of the context-switching can be tiring, but I’ve now finished this semester’s most extensive programming assignments, so I’m hoping things will quiet down a bit for April.

Once again, I did a significant update of my personal website. I’ve sat on the domain isak.me since the start of 2023, and I finally got around to doing the switch. I plan on writing more about the updated website in a separate post later this month!
