Too many tribes, I’m in

So there’s the family tribe. Then there’s the work tribe. Add in the sports (floorball in my case) tribe. We have the 3D printing hobbyists tribe, which overlaps with the FPV drone racing tribe. Then we have the former work collegues tribe. Oh, and, yeah, the “friends we used to spend time with” tribe. Comes to add there’s the extended family tribe, which is living somewhere else with rare contact.

Why write

I write when I’m confused. It puts my screaming brain ducks in a row again. I write when I’m sad. It takes away my sorrow from me to the paper. I write when I’m angry. It’s much less badaboom to scream at paper with ink than to people with voice. I write when I’m overloaded. It’s the mental paper backup to load off to. So I write to keep my health. Mental, that is.

Today, I had a Hololens on my head

More than a year ago, when Microsoft’s Hololens was announced, I was pretty thrilled by the presentation. Not so much time before, Google had it’s hype with the “Google Glas”, putting IT quasi “in your face”. So I was pretty impressed by how Microsoft was projecting VR elements into the…

The Void

Today is again a day of which I’m calling “The Void”. This usually happens with me when there’s a period of a lot of work, a lot of stress, a lot of events happening right after each other. Whenever thereafter I have a day of “time-out”, “me-time”, “off-time” with no…

Why companies have open-plan offices

Who orders office space? Who is in charge layouting people in the office? What’s the main goal of these people? What do these people do most of their time? What do these people NOT do most of their time? Managers. Managers. Save Money. So save space. Talk. Meetings. Rush back and forth. Hard, coherent work which requires creativity. So want to change open-plan office? Change the managers.

Tired using technology

Well yes, there’s this song, which isn’t even that great. And the lyrics don’t really reflect what I’m about to write here, too, but the refrain line does: I’m tired using technology. Used to really be a tech freak, geek, nerd, however you wanna call it. I was always first…

Share a smile

Do good and talk about it In times of increasing terror and violence, hysteric media and instigating politicians, it’s often hard to keep you head up, not falling down in depression saying “there’s nothing you can do about it”. I have in fact thought about it. What is out there…
