My PhD Hat

This is the hat that my dear friends and colleagues put together and gave me after my PhD defence. Thanks, it’s awesome! :-)

I think I got all but one reference:

• A runner, because I ran marathon twice during my graduate studies.
• The runner seems to hug a computer which I assume is because I love computers :)
• An Android, because I did some Android development on my spare time.
• A helicopter, since I love flying helicopters and since I got a helicopter lesson as a graduation gift.
• A rubics cube, because I learned to solve it during my graduate studies
• A map over the Java island. No explanation needed there.
• Coffey beans. Not becauses I drink coffey, but, well. See previous reference :)
• Tetris pieces because I’m kind of obsessed with tetris
• Juggling balls because I occasionally practice juggling
• A badge with the text “TCS in- och utkastare” which refers to the fact that I helped older students finish their studies.
• Two little girls because I got my two daughters during my studies.
• A little model of a car on a hill because I was addicted to Hill Climb Racer for a while
• A Gnu because I’m a Linux/GNU user
• The tape measure I have no idea about. If any of my old friends ever stumble accross this page, please enlighten me :-)
