Mobile phones, a history

Following a gajillion discussions on IRC over a long time, I started thinking about my history with mobile phones. This led to me googling for about 2 hours straight, because I couldn’t find my first phone ever. Until I did! It was the KPN Pocketline Wave 200, but almost none were sold in the Netherlands. [...]

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 [...]

In Alk Maar kunnen ze ook niet spellen

Hobbytijd

Tijd voor schaamteloze reclame!

Al heel lang heeft mijn moeder een (uit de hand gelopen) hobby: kaarten maken, en dan vooral 3d-kaarten. Toen er letterlijk om de hoek een pandje leeg kwam te staan en ze het aanbod kreeg om het te huren, besloot ze van haar hobby haar werk te maken: ze gaat een hobbywinkel [...]

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 app. Now [...]

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 look [...]

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 in [...]

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 ;)

Verkeersalarm

Alle autorijdende Nederlanders opgelet! Vanaf heden heeft deze Wilg haar rijbewijs, en zij zal hier uiterst dankbaar gebruik van maken!

Maar nu eerst: taart ^_^

Evil scheming (or just finding a place to live)

My friend Bram and me have been planning to move for a while now. Not like moving in with each other, just in the same area if that’s possible. As soon as I get a stable income we can put such plans into action, and since that won’t take too long anymore, we went to [...]
