There is a pond not far from my favorite spot in NUE. The pond is part of a nature reserve around the airport, and it has been taken over by frogs. I can't tell you how much I enjoy listening to them croaking all day long. It's a...
Last week, I "did an oopsie" and ended up with no home internet for one evening. I came home from work, turned on the computer as usual - no internet. Tried connecting a few more times, restarted - still nothing. At first, my reaction...
Before saying anything else, I'd like to thank the organisers of JSNation for inviting to speak in Amsterdam. I particularly appreciate the folks who were brave enough to disagree at the Q&A sessions afterwards. Engaged debate about...

For the past two years I've been working remotely most of the time. I sometimes go the office in Amsterdam, but I vastly prefer working from home. Being at the office is really nice for a change of scenery, working together with others,...

When I leave for university this fall, I'll have a chance to reinvent myself. I've always thought about the day when I actually do so. What kind of person do I want to become? Actually, the fact alone that I've thought of this question...
Mastodon non è il Fediverso. Ma in parte sì.

¶ 1. So many variables in every day! How grateful for a God who exercises his sovereign will over and in the universe! ¶ 2. Have been doing much more reading of late. Good sign and great exercise for this old brain. ¶ 3. I’ve been using...
I Can't JournalEvery year, around this time, I try to start journaling. And every year, about this time, I fail. But, hey, at least I am consistent.
I created a new zine, it was completed just in time for the Summer Solstice, which feels somewhat thematic. This zine is all about wildflowers that I’ve seen on walks in North East England. This is the second zine I have hand-bound using...
