How odd is the phrase "It's growing on me?" I mean - what exactly is growing on you? To me, personally, it brings up images of things actually, physically, literally, growing on you. Like warts.

Unemployed…. now what?
Although I still have a thesis defense to get through, I am now technically almost unemployed. Officially as of may 1. So, what now?

Doppelgangers

I am currently sitting on the train to Aalborg – tomorrow, I'll be attending social media summit 2012, hoping to learn some cool stuff than I can use for my thesis, and maybe even network a little.
