G500; Undermining the Principles of Democracy Since Today

One of my classmates, Sywert van Lienden, proposed a system where 500 enthusiastic, politically engaged adolescents would join every large political party in order to change their policies from within. I’m currently watching a rerun of ‘De Wereld Draait Door’, a daily public broadcast on Dutch television where he explains his plans, and tries to legitimize them. Earlier today, I was approached by a journalist of ‘De Volkskrant’ while at the university to discuss his plans. I didn’t know anything about it prior to this enquiry, but I started thinking...

WEDNESDAY’S WEEKLY [11] (Week 15, 2012)

I just woke up. Say what? Yeah, I just woke up. I can hear you think, why in the hell did you just wake up at 21:45. I had some trouble sleeping last night, firstly due to the complete terror my housemates where causing, and when that had subsided, a mouse decided to jump on my arm. After that, I was so full of utter disgust, I couldn’t sleep anymore. I might have had a total of sixty minutes of sleeping time last night, so when I came home I...

CURRENTLY PLAYING: Kyuss – Blues for the Red Sun

Sometimes, I like an album enough that I listen to it daily, or at least, a few times a week. Which is the case with this album, Kyuss’s ‘Blues for the Red Sun’ from 1992. Not only do I want to listen to the music, I also want to spread the word about it to others. Hence, this blog post. Why do I listen to an album from 1992, you say? Well, in the following post I try to convince you to give it a try (Youtube links incoming after...

My Desktop as of Right Now (PART DEUX)

Two days ago, I posted how my desktop from my computer looked like. It was calm and serene. My laptop however, didn’t had this treatment yet. But, because I had to go to my parents’ place once again, I packed my laptop with me. Out of boredom (why else?) I decided to install Rainmeter on my laptop too, but I decided to go with a much more quirky theme, a Windows 8 look-a-like theme called Omnimo. The screen looks fresh and new, something my four year old laptop hasn’t been...

THE5: Best Fictional Friendships

Today is saturday, which means it’s time for another list of 5 things. With this weeks topic, fictional friendships. Wait, what? Has he lost his mind? No, and if you care to read, this is quite a good topic, if I might say so myself. These fictional friendships can be anything, from books, television, video games, movies, anything, as long as it’s fictional. So let’s kick this off with number 5, after the jump.

My Desktop as of right now

I was a bit bored yesterday late at night, so I decided to fiddle with my desktop. I already had rainmeter installed, but I decided to add a few parts, make them look better and rearrange them. What you see here is the result. The links on the right of the desktop are fully clickable and lead me to the website directly. The little music player on the right doesn’t let me select any songs, but it does enable me to pause, play, or change the song from an album I’ve...

MUST HAVE: HTC One X

I’ve been looking at new phones for a while now, and the One X has topped my list ever since HTC revealed the first glimpses of it. It is now close to a release, and the reviews are starting to be published online. I’ve read, and seen, a review by ‘the Verge’, which has completely pulled me over the line. This awesome piece of technology will be my next phone, no contest. Here’s the video review, and you can read the full review HERE.     PS: I just have...

WEDNESDAY’S WEEKLY [10] (Week 14, 2012)

UPDATE: added the header. Waddaya think? Hey there, time for a quick update. I don’t have much time, because I’m writing this on a university computer. I have to go to class in exactly 30 minutes, so I’ll write what comes to mind these next few minutes. Saturday saw the first (official) iteration of ‘The5’, and I think it was a success. I made a banner/header for the post, and I will use those more often for my weekly columns. I originally wanted to use one for this weeks Weekly,...

April Fool’s!

Well, the jig is up. I had quite a few people believing that I, after only two months, would quit writing this blog. Ofcourse not, people! This is just the start, the beginning. I thought about this joke yesterday evening, and executed it this morning. I wanted to give a little hint that it was a joke by adding the tags ‘first’, ‘of’ and ‘april’, but still some people bought it. I originally wanted to wait with explaining the joke until tomorrow, but I figured it could mean some people...

THE5: Television Comedy Series

I have previously announced that I would be making lists of five things I either like, need, or dislike. That was 1.5 weeks ago. I couldn’t write one last week due to my exam, but I’ve kept my promise with today’s first official installment of ‘The 5’, in which I will inform you of my favourite, currently running television series.  If I where to include cancelled shows, I couldn’t fit it down just five. Keep an eye out in the future, I might make another list for cancelled shows.
