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…

Why I am not watching the 2022 World Cup Football
Ever since the 2022 edition was given to Qatar the decision has been publicly debated on and off. It all started with the dubious motivation to host the most important football tournament in a hot desert country with no football tradition to speak off. That got fixed by moving the tournament from the summer to…

Brasserie de Abdijmolen
Went for an early dinner a few weeks ago on a Friday at Brasserie de Abdijmolen in de abdij van het park in Heverlee. The sun was shining but it was raining on and off so we decided to play it safe and sit inside even though some people were enjoying a drink outside. As…

Café-Restaurant Bourla
Two weeks ago we went to Antwerp to visit the recently reopened KMSKA. After the visit we walked along the river to the city centre and then went for dinner in Café-Restaurant Bourla. This is located behind the Bourla theatre on the Graanmarkt. It is located in an old luxurious building and when you enter…

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…

Swimming with Sharks, Joris Luyendijk (ISBN 9781783350650, Guardian Faber Publishing)
The Dutch version of this 2015 book (Het kan niet waar zijn) has been on my pile of books to read for a long time. I got to know Luyendijk through his column in De Standaard. And so I decided to buy his book. That ended up on the pile because I am a collector…

Dit kan niet waar zijn, Joris Luyendijk (ISBN 9789045034041, Atlas Contact)
Dit boek uit 2015 lag lang op de stapel te lezen boeken. Ik leerde Luyendijk ‘kennen’ door zijn column in De Standaard. En zo besloot ik zijn boek te kopen. Dat kwam dan op de stapel te liggen want ik ben een verzamelaar met meer geld dan tijd voor boeken. Een tijdje geleden had ik…
