About me
Erlend Aakre, a great man someone once said, I’m not saying who. Maybe it was me, or maybe it was a total stranger with an unbiased and completely objective perspective.
Erlend sometimes write entire paragraphs about himself in the third person from his bastion of awesomeness in Trondheim Norway. He occasionally goes outside to work (as an astrophysicist a privateer programmer), or the odd trip to the grocery store. As you can see from the picture below, he wears glasses, has an awesome beard, is cuter than a cupcake made from puppies & kittens and loves Firefly.
No presentation is complete without a bulleted list, so here are some of my hobbies in pseudo-random order:
- Science Fiction
- Computer programming
- Science and skepticism
- Games (mostly WOW for the time)
- Driving around on dirt roads with my motorcycle
- Playing with my ferrets
10 Fun Facts about me:
