Nu de Fall Skirmish is aangekondigd, weet ik weet wat kijken dit najaar (naast veldrijden, NFL, MLB, voetbal en andere).

The End of Neutrality

Politico: When institutions no longer enjoy credibility across the political spectrum, people look to more ideological sources for confirmation of what they want to believe.

📝 Hoe ik veel boeken lees per jaar

Ik krijg op Goodreads vaak de vraag hoe het kan dat ik zo’n 52 boeken per jaar lees, of hoe het mogelijk is dat ik met een pasgeboren dochter er 35 wil lezen en perfect op schema lig. Dat zijn altijd opvallende vragen voor mij, want ik vind die getallen niet zo speciaal. Dat is […]

Hopen op: Serieuze verbeteringen aan de iPhone-camera (altijd welkom). Nieuwe Apple Watch met mogelijks een dunner (rond?) design, want de mijne is stilaan aan vervanging toe. En misschien de SIM-versie in ons land? Apple Pay in België.

Quit Social Media. Your Career May Depend on It.

Cal Newport met een boutade: The idea of purposefully introducing into my life a service designed to fragment my attention is as scary to me as the idea of smoking would be to an endurance athlete, and it should be to you if you’re serious about creating things that matter.
