Short info
Words are the best thing ever. And somebody even pays me to work with them.
I work in the Norwegian standard dictionaries which you'll find at ordbøkene.no
I also do research on the history of dictionaries.

Research
I work and do resarch on the Norwegian standard dictionaries Bokmålsordboka and Nynorskordboka, which you can find at https://ordbokene.no.
I also do research on the history of the dictionaries as cultural and physical artifacts. Currently I'm working on the first Norwegian dictionary (1646), which for some reason has a picture of an otter trap. Why? I'll come back to you on that.
Outreach
I write about languages (in Norwegian) on Språkprat, on my blog Ordblogg
I talk about languages (still in Norwegian) in the video series Orden på ord and in the radio show Språksnakk
