Command And Control, Eric Schlosser (ISBN 9780141037912, Penguin)
Command and Control is written by Eric Schlosser. I read his bestseller fastfood nation long ago and liked it a lot so when this book came out in 2014 I bought it and read it. It was a scary read at the time and this year while we were on holiday this summer I decided…

Barca. The rise and fall of the club that built modern football, Simon Kuper (ISBN 978-1780724744, Short Books)
This was really an enjoyable read. I don’t remember how exactly it ended up on my to read list but I must have read about it somewhere and as I used to enjoy watching Barcelona games on Dutch tv in the nineties I bought it and put it on the pile. Then a few weeks…

First 550km with the Stromer ST3 Pinion
This week I reached the 550km mark on my new Stromer. I have it since mid October and due to some unforeseen circumstances I haven’t been in the office as much as expected so the kilometers have added up more slowly than normal. Still, I am now accustomed to the bike and have used it…

KMSKA Open Again
The KMSKA has recently reopened after having been closed for almost 10 years. The opening was soon followed by a lot of fuss in the press about the white floor, which is immediately full of black stripes from the shoes of visitors. Compared to the past, the museum now actually consists of 2 buildings in…

Museum van Schone Kunsten Antwerpen
Na bijna 10 jaar gesloten te zijn geweest is het KMSKA onlangs terug open gegaan. Dit ging al dadelijk gepaard met de nodige heisa in de pers over de witte vloer die direct vol zwarte strepen staat. In vergelijking met vroeger bestaat het museum nu eigenlijk uit 2 gebouwen in 1. Via de oude ingang…

Mac OS Upgrade Problems
Many years ago when my my Mac Pro 1.1 became obsolete I bought a new one, the black cilinder that was considered by many as a step back because of the limited upgrade possibilities, especially compared to the previous tower version. Looking at the latest version of the Mac Pro I guess Apple agreed even…

Space – The Human Quest
This week was a school holiday week. This is always an opportunity to do something together as a family and searching the internet we came across this exhibition. It is an interactive display of the history of space exploration, from the first unmanned flights from the Russians and Americans to the manned Gemini and then…
