Software engineer by day, nerd by night.
Stuff I'm into in no particular order: DIY, software, mathematics, gaming, food, drink, motorcycles, philosophy, memes.

It is #bolludagur (bun day) in #iceland, a day where people eat yummy cream-filled buns (bollur)!
As much as I enjoy a traditional bolla which is jam and cream with chocolate icing, I always make a point of trying the increasing variety of unconventional bollur. This year it was a bolla with strawberry cream filling/icing and a croissant bolla (filled with cream and blueberry jam).
I can't get enough of these!
Love making some simple #pizza at home. One features pepperoni, onion, mushroom, and feta. The other is a simple pepperoni and cheese for the toddler's palette.
It's really cool and adorable to watch my son learn #english and #icelandic at the same time.
To set the stage, "hvað" is the icelandic interrogative pronoun for "what".
The phrase of choice the last couple days is "hvað happened?" (as he makes the appropriate gesture with his hands).
Friends that raised children in an english/icelandic household told me of similar things and it's really cute to see first hand.
It has been snowing a wee bit in #reykjavik. I think I will need to give some of these trees a bit of help so they don't break under the weight.
I really enjoy working with my hands when I get the chance. To be able to do more of it, and indulge in it in the present, I renovated my garage!
Old lights were 2700K fluorescent (no photos), which isn't a good colour temp for a workshop. New lights are 6000K LEDs - so much better 😎
Used an epoxy-based paint on the floor after repairing the cracks, and the walls got a couple coats with a strong paint. The most time consuming part was painting around all the pipework.
