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 [...]

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 [...]

Knitting: Fetching fingerless gloves

Even before I finished my first project, Liessa gave me cute wool and this pattern: Fetching fingerless gloves. This looked like a big challenge to me because it featured knitting in the round -and- knitting cables. Also I was really unsure about how the thumb of the glove should be made. But I thought, [...]

Knitting: Phone Pouch

A while ago the knitting virus hit me too, and I bought some cheap wool to start off my first project with. As I was knitting it in a cafe in Amsterdam, some girl talked to me and suggested (only a million times) that I should make it into a phone pouch. I liked [...]

Mario 3 in Java

One of the greatest old-skool games I remember is Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES. I bet my mother remembers it even better as she actually beat the game before I ever got to :>

MacTijn stumbled upon the coolest thing since Mario on the NES: Super Mario Bros 3 in a Java [...]

Annual hobby: setting stuff on fire

Last year my friend and me set loads of sparklers on fire. Of course we needed to top that last fire, so we decided to attach the sparklers to something this year. The thing turned out to be a toy police car, mostly because it was only 2 euros. Afterwards we figured it did [...]

… and about this week

Today I quite unexpectedly heard that tomorrow is the last day I will be working at IBM. I was supposed to have a spot there until February, but the work coming in has dramatically decreased, forcing them to keep only a few freelance translators, and I’m not among them. There are three options. Number [...]

So about last week

A number of things have happened the last days, so I thought I should recap.

I turned in my OV-jaarkaart (free traveling for students) because I had no more right to it (you can get it for 7 years, mine are over). I hate having to pay for the train now, but since I [...]

iStuff gets you guys (or chicks I suppose)

In the train this morning I took out my brand new iPod, since I needed a good dose of metal to wake up with. There was this really cute guy sitting across from me, who kept looking at it. As I usually do when people stare at me (it happens, although it’s probably all [...]

YMCA

Sometimes my friends can be rather weird. My friend Sim has dedicated her time to positioning her kid’s male Barbie dolls in the YMCA-positions and taking a picture of that. I wonder what other strange hobbies she has ;)
