My supermarket send me a newsletter containing an overview of my loyalty credits earned during the last 12 months. Bad move. I calculated having saved 10 euros spending roughly 3000: a 0.3discount. That’s a lot of marketing data for a cheap benefit and another card for the shredder.

My sympaticus, part of the autonomous nerve system that gets us through life threatening situating as fighting (or fleeing) seems to have collapsed in favor of his colleague the parasympaticus, who rebuilds and restores. That’s not a good thing during the day, as I noticed while suffering from vasodilatation (narrowing of the blood vessels) and [...]

As of monday, my hunnybunny will be a full fledged Human Interface Designer at Brussels based user-centered design consultancy Namahn. I think she invested 8-10 days in the interviews, trial days and assignments; to say I was slightly relieved when the good news rolled in is an understatement. She’ll do great. Badly designed [...]

How hard can it be to change the time before you get my mobiles voicemail? After 2 months I’ve learned it’s not on the phone, it’s not on my providers website and my providers contact form doesn’t work in any of my 5 Mac web browsers.

It’s simple though. Just dial ##002# (ok) **61* 32475151516**20#(ok) [...]

Both my mother and sister, unaware of each-others choise, responded to my Christmas list “get me a good writer” by buying me a book by French writer Michel Houellebecq. They’re captivating yet revolting, though not the former thanks to the latter. The writer rather punishes you for suspending disbelief. He raises your hopes for his [...]
