Human.json is a new idea for asserting that a site is authored by a person, and for vouching for other sites’ authorship. I’ve added one to this site.

It’s a fun idea, and I’ve joined in, but to be honest, I have some concerns. When I made my human.json file, I looked through my browser history, and saw a number of sites that were clearly personal sites that I liked. But if I list one, am I…

Sakrisøy Stormy Vista

Sakrisøy is one of the most picturesque villages in Norway’s Lofoten Islands. Most of the houses are painted in the distinctive yellow colour produced by a mix of ochre and cod liver oil, giving a real ‘pop’ to the vista.

For me this image sums up so much of the Lofoten experience with clear sky being quickly replaced by an impending storm looming over the distant peaks, while crystal clear…

Arctic Sculptures Uttakleiv’s Dragon's Eye

Ancient rocks and tidal pools frame a snow-draped mountain at Uttakleiv Beach. This is a wild, harsh coastline shaped by the storms that constantly batter Norway’s Lofoten Islands.

Perhaps the most famous feature of Uttakliev Beach is the Dragon’s Eye, a rock that sits at the base of an ancient hollow.

Finding the Dragon’s Eye on the day we visited was a bit of an adventure. The road to the end…

Sven Beckert’s History of Capitalism Is Too Light on Theory

Sven Beckert’s Capitalism: A Global History ranges impressively over time and space, from medieval Yemen to modern-day Cambodia. But we need a clearer political economy of capitalism to make sense of the material that he provides us with.


The illustration of capitalism from all parts of the world is undoubtedly a strength of Sven Beckert’s new book. (Daily Collegian / Flickr) (Daily…

The Oil Factory

Located on a small peninsula in Norway’s Lofoten Islands' Nusfjord lies an old cod liver oil factory ('trandamperiet'). The distinctive yellow paint gains its colour from the mix of ochre and cod liver oil. The colour yellow was often used to denote commercial premises.

Nusfjord was a relatively easy day trip from our an initial Lofoten Islands base at Ballstad, down an stunningly picturesque…
