Not a great time, but not a bad one either, considering that my previous serious racing ride (not counting a slow phone run in wet weather and civilian clothes) dates back from early October. The weather was great, but there was a strong wind that stubbornly seemed to challenge me in both directions for some reason. Still,…
My bike was finally ready (two broken spokes in the back wheel), and I needed to get a new battery for a phone, so I decided to ride my bike from the bike shop to the phone repair guy, and home again. I’m glad I have my bike back, but this wasn’t the weather for…
Nice ride, enjoying a fine autumn day. By myself this time because Annelies had gone horseback riding. The ‘Edegemse Bergen’ is a nice place for a MTB ride, with some great routes. The only problem is that because the soil is mostly sand, the terrain is terrible when it’s been wet — which of course damages…
This was the first time that Annelies and I took our mountainbikes on an actual Bloso MTB track in the neighborhood. It was good fun, but it took us a while to find the track, and then there was an error in the route: an arrow that pointed right, where there shouldn’t be an arrow at all.…
So these are the bikes! Please excuse the filters — as you might have guessed, these are Instagram pictures. I’ll try to use some cleaner ones in the future. I picked up cycling (as a sport) in 2014 when I bought a 1982 Peugeot racing bike. Mainly because I wanted to get into shape again, and…

This week on 17-18 September 2015, LexiconSE contributor Luciano Lungo and his colleagues at the University of Palermo are organizing an international conference on ‘Contemporary Knowledge in the Humanities‘, and I’m really happy to be delivering a paper there as well. In my paper, I will introduce the Lexicon of Scholarly Editing to the conference’s wider audience of…
For my first cocktail, I’m making one of my personal favourites: the Hemingway Daiquiri. This delicious cocktail was named after the American writer Ernest Hemingway, because it was supposed to be one of his favourite variants on the Daiquiri. Both the Daiquiri and the Hemingway Daiquiri were invented in the Cuban La Florida Bar. Just…
From the 19th to the 21st of November 2015, the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS) holds its Twelfth Annual Conference at De Montfort University in Leicester, England. Sakari Katajamäki and I are happy to announce that our abstract for a joint paper on lexica for textual scholarship was accepted in the CfP’s first round of…
