Congratulations to our first Nobel Prize laureate of 2026 🎉
Early this morning Karl Deisseroth found out he was awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
He seems very happy with the news!

Thank you! Wonderful to hear. Hope to see more doing the same 😍
This is such a nice idea and 100% going to be one of the many slash pages I plan to add. Going to add it first thing tomorrow morning! Might even feature a small polaroid of it down in the footer of the site too, I had been meaning to add some more "stuff" down there.
I made a /photo slash page for my blog. One photo, swapped now and then. 📷️
If you make one too, let me know and I'll add you to the list.

Who I blog for
I read Sylvia’s lovely post Who I blog for, and I wanted to write my own view on it. It’s not that different from hers, actually, and I think that’s the case...

For today's Pika playground I extended the Crucial Tracks widget with recent book and movie, latest photo and status. Simply named it Lately.

Lately - Robert Birming
What I've been up to lately: a recent photo, my latest status, and whatever I'm reading, watching and listening to. Bits and pieces, gathered in one place.

Hugs from Sweden 🤗 Rondellhundar (roundabout dogs) is a common thing here. Anonymous people placing wooden dogs, often with a message, in roundabouts. I found this cutie in Huddinge today. Kram means “hug” in Swedish.

I put together a photo gallery based on blog posts that contain images and a 'photos' tag. I think it works quite nice.
