Whoops, litt vel sein på avtrekkeren her, og ser @kriloseth.bsky.social hadde et forslag. Men kan det dreie seg om proxy? Arkeologer er glad i proxies, men føler ikke det treffer heeelt her.

Only halfway through this: "Write! Craftsmanship in non-fiction" by Anders Johansen. It seems like a gem so far - so many of the author's descriptions and feelings about writing are resonating with me! Of course, he writes wonderfully too.

Do contact Marianne Moen, the contact person in the advertisements if you need more information (she's very nice!) and feel free to send me a message or email if you're curious about how doing a PhD at the Museum is.

Please help me spread the word and share widely! Although the material scope is set, there's still a lot of flexibility within that. There's some benefits to doing a PhD in Norway, e.g. you're employed with everything that includes (paid sick leave, paid parental leave, etc.) + a decent-ish pay.

There's also one on glacial archaeology:

Professor Felix Riede from @aarhusuni.bsky.social continues the discussion with his keynote on "Internationalisation in the Nordics"! Spiced up with an interactive poll.

The overall theme for this year's meeting is "Global trends, local challenges", so Hansen's introduction is very apt!

Tomorrow, we have a session in the national conference "Norwegian Archaeological Meeting" (NAM):

"AI in Archaeology beyond ChatGPT: The AI revolution is upon us, but how do we employ Artificial Intelligence in our daily workflows?" Keynote by Gabriele Gattiglia.

There's a lot of 3D, but also remote sensing and a session on ontologies and repositories. Good stuff, in other words!

Sure, some votes flip-flop from election to election, but a lot of the decisions are made on (did)trust built up over decades.

I started with wanting to recommend Onyx Boox tablets for people in Norway, both Bookbites and Libby work on them. And then it went somewhere else. I think I'll try reading and writing more, not just for work, but to live better.

Again, I'm trying to get back into the habit of reading. Because I need it. Easy access helps. I don't know where I'm going with this, I only know that letters, reading and writing, has always been a comfort to me.

Yesterday a week had passed since her funeral. I was supposed to have been in Rome, instead I was holding a memorial speech for a young woman who wanted nothing more than to survive and live.
