I hope my endeavor to be pretentious did not scare too many potential readers away. I always think about silly things like that, why we are here, whats right and wrong.. yeah I think most of you already can see me through the screen.
My name is Anton Sixtenson, in Sweden (and other Nordic countries) there is an old tradition (which is not distinguished anymore, not very much in Sweden at least, I think in Iceland it is more common) anyway the tradition is that you take your fathers name as your last name, but you add "son" at the end. So, as you have already figured out, my father's name is Sixten. And I'm he's son.
Sixten is a carpenter, he makes furniture, stairs and windows, and of course a lot of other stuff. But it was a long time ago I lived with either of my parents (they are divorced), I moved out when I was 17. At first, I lived in a collective like a hippie. We were about 15 people living together at the countryside, harvesting crops, taking care of the horses, mount the horses and galopp away for a few days.
I have always felt safe, and at home when I'm out in nature. Nature is God.
Anyway, I am also a bit of an autistic person. This is because when I find something I think is interesting I break it down into molecules. At age of 4, I got to light my first firecracker, and as well as my neighbour's mailbox, the firecracker also blew my mind. I was hooked. At the age of 12 my father disappeared up to the attic, he later came down with an old black powder rifle. He asked me if I could search for the recipe for black powder on the internet... he he he... So I started making my own fireworks. But, blowing things up is like an addiction, you just want a bigger and bigger blow. So at the age of 15 me and my friend took my motocross, he at the back with the percussion cap in a bag in the right hand, and the primary explosive charge in the left... Now, when I'm 26 and looks back at it, I'm just thankful we did not blow us, or anyone else up..
I will later link to some of my video recordings of when I blow up things because I documented everything. I even had a website with guides and pictures how to create different explosives.
Here is a picture of my electric igniter I made to be able to "safely" blow things up.
Now I'm a 26-year-old computer engineering student. My primary interest right now is everything related to computers, logic and mathematics. A pretty wide area, but that's good, because then I can always find a new corner to investigate. In June I will have completed the first year. I have also studied psychology for about 2 years. Now I will combine this with my computer engineering, and also study a master in artificial intelligence. This is my goal for the moment.
Where I do my math
Mainly stuff I find interesting, like technology and mathematics. I have started using Linux so I will probably post some stuff about my Linux experience.
I do a bit of engineering at home, I create stuff and think of new solutions to ordinary problems. My latest creation was a shelf for my kitchen. Under the shelf (inspired by the movie "Deep Impact") there are jar lids, so I can store sugar, flour and other stuff in a convenient way. I think I will do a single post about this shelf because it's really practical.
I will also post stuff about gardening. I live in a house, near the city, but I have this wonderful garden. I will show you a picture when I post my first post about my tomatoes I am about to grow.
So in short, I will post about things I find interesting! This could be, as I've already said, everything from a mathematical proof, to plant tomatoes. But my next post will be about something I've made here at home. I'm eager to show you guys what I've made, and how you can do them as well!
