I’ve been struggling with my fibromyalgia + chronic fatigue lately. So hard for me to do any of the things I want to do. I can push myself into it for something especially compelling but that ends up wiping me out for days afterward. And...
Life As It Should Be
Questa non è una pippa.
In this new video series, I talk to anybody who is interested to have a video call with me (so do contact me if you want!). The topics cover anything related to Emacs, technology, and life in general. More here:...
I went for an overnight trip to FRA. And it goes without saying that I spent Sunday afternoon and Monday morning at Zeppelinheim capturing airplanes. The light was meh, but I did manage to catch a handful of interesting machines,...
I’ve been feeling a little disconnected in a weird way from music lately, which is kind of odd, considering that I am almost always playing something during the day. I’m a huge music fan, always have been, and I think that in this world...

I saw this summer’s Marvel movie in the theater on Sunday. A bit of a last minute idea so we ended up going to the “legacy” movie theater across the highway. Before I continue, It’s important to understand my local cinema dynamics. We...
Na bijna een jaar werk publiceerde de overheid recent alsnog de Nederlandse Digitaliseringsstrategie (ik heb ook een klein beetje bij mogen dragen), met daarin gevleugelde woorden als “Nederland moet de kansen die digitalisering biedt...

Today, YouTube decided to recommend me videos from a guy who explores weird train lines and train stations, mostly in the Tokyo area. I’m not really a train otaku, but I ended up watching quite a few of the videos because I just … liked...
