The Fairphone 5

And some thoughts on right to repair I am going to start this post with a completely unrelated topic. Yesterday my good friend the espresso machine decided that it would be much for fun to blow a fuse in the morning as making delicious coffee was the same old thing for her (yes her). So […]

The thing about me and cars

I am a car guy, always have been, always will be. I don’t know what exactly it is about cars, that gets me so excited about them, but since I can remember, I always was into cars. In my room at my parents house there still is a puzzle hanging on the wall, I built […]

The zombie apocalypse is already here

Let’s start with the basics, what actually is a zombie? Originally it referred to a dead person brought back to life by means of magic or voodoo. That person had no will of its own and was controlled by its master, the person brining it back to life. In current movies zombies are mostly living […]

The thing about knowledge

Knowledge is a tricky thing for human beings. We gather it over the course of our lives and in multiple ways. Some is in our DNA, instincts like eating, breathing, moving away from stuff that frightens us. Some is learned, some from others, some from experience and some is created by our selves.
