Why Twitter drives me nuts

Twitter is actually quite awesome. For me, it’s the middle between IRC, MSN and text messaging. You can see it as public texting: say you want to go out, well you can tweet that and other twitterers read it and they can decide to join you. For me that works great, in a number of [...]

Little update

So it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything really interesting (unless you count puppets made of paper as interesting), it’s time for a little update.

I still work at IBM, but this time I went freelance. Marjolein Tamis Translations is my one-woman company, and it’s thriving well already. I almost have enough resources to [...]

Cubeecraft: Darth Vader

Darth Vader

I really liked how Sam & Max turned out in cubeecraft, so when I noticed this one I just had to make it too. Darth Vader, including helmet and light sabre!

Knitting: Cthulhu Dice Bag

cthulhu dice bag

I finished this quite a while ago but I thought I’d still post it here: my cute knitted dice bag. Thanks to Faragon I was able to start right away, since she gave me wool and the pattern for it. I think I knitted the pattern a bit tight but it’s not [...]

Column: Gewonnen!

Sinds een tijdje geleden mag ik mijzelf columniste noemen voor de website stotteren.nl, zie hier voor mijn tweede column. Gewoon doorlezen is natuurlijk ook een optie.

Gewonnen!

Laatst las ik over een bijzonder spel, simpelweg ‘het spel’ genoemd. Als je dit spel speelt, heb je het meteen verloren. Je wint ‘het spel’ namelijk zolang je er niet [...]

Cubeecraft: Sam & Max, Freelance Police

The other day I was clicking around on the interwebs, and found cubeecraft.com. You can download a pattern for a cubic version of your favourite character, print it out (on thicker paper), cut all the lines and then put it together, no glue or tape required. Yesterday I decided to try it out with two [...]

Malware in my theme

Up until a few days ago, when I made my last post, I thought I had a very nice theme worked out for my blog. The only issue was, posts kept loading really slowly, as if they were waiting for something. I didn’t know enough about it to figure out what could cause it, but [...]

Pixelhobby: Mario

Recently, my mother opened her hobby shop. One day before opening she got an offer from someone at Pixelhobby, and she decided to sell it along with the stuff she’d already stocked. Pixelhobby now accounts for a large part of her profits.

But what is it? Well, remember Ministeck? Pixelhobby works the other way around: [...]

Tattoo

I’ve wanted a tattoo since forever (well, I think I was 16 when I got the idea) and I’ve known it was going to be this one for the past two years. I always imagined I should have it tattooed when my life is coming together, becoming calmer. It seemed right to think so since [...]

RMB – Spring

My mind and my iPhone are in the nineties, and it’s spring time. This is where it’s taking me…

I can’t believe we were into that kind of sunglasses back then, although I can imagine this video would still do well today. The nineties are very underrated in that sense. In a related mood (imo), check [...]
