Happy New Year!
Posted by Andreas Holmstrom on January 16, 2010
A bit late, I know, but I would like to wish all blog readers a peaceful and fulfilling new year 2010! Due to holidays, job applications, and a stolen laptop, I have been rather silent for a while, but hopefully I will be able to post more often in the next few months. Today I don’t have much to say, except showing you a picture from the year that passed:
It’s a tiny picture taken with a bad mobile phone camera, but it shows the Academy of Motives in Granada, where I was attending the F1 workshop in November. Other mathematical-touristic experiences of 2009 included two trips to Germany; unfortunately I was not able to find the famous shop where they sell affine schemes.

They sell Speck in nearly every supermarket.. it’s the german word for bacon.

Yes, but I have never seen it with a capital K

The translation would be correct if it was in Portuguese, but assuming it is in Spanish, the correct translation would be “Two Motives Academy”.
It is a good joke anyway!
