Fast and faster.

The bicycle highway F1 (‘fietssnelweg’) from Antwerp to Brussels.

Alongside a passing Eurostar high speed train from Antwerp to Paris.

With the sun on my face.

“Let’s build a Star Trek future
in these Star Wars times.”

A 28 minute bike ride from Antwerp city center brought us here.

Gorgeous weather. The parks and terraces in the city were full. We just met one other couple the whole afternoon.

Next level tactical urbanism.

When blocking a street, install a small urban garden.

Score: 🌱🌱🌱

I’m late to the game but allow me to post this photo of my cat.

The “right to repair” is strategic autonomy.

Antwerp, Belgium.

I’m very much looking forward to the new Spaceballs movie.

This weekend in the Belgian national newspaper De Standaard, a brief article on the origins of the Dutch word "fiets".

Apparently it comes from the 1886 German neologism "Vize-Pferd", meaning "vice-horse" or horse substitute.

"Vize-Pferd" became "Vice" which became "fiets".

Alle dagen open.
Behalve vandaag.

Three years on Mastodon today.

Very conscious move from Twitter, which at that time wasn’t that wonderful and serendipitous platform anymore. I learned a lot there. Once.

Mastodon is nice, and theoretically almost perfect. But in practice, not the source of new insights, witty takes,…

(But I’m not gone.)

Kid: “Why do I need to study math? I’ll never use it in real life!”

Real life: *hold my sign*

It's that time of year again when the sedums start outcompeting the mosses. Always interesting to see. Later in the season, when the days become less sunny, it's the other way around, mosses take over again. The result is an evergreen garden spiral that changes with the light.

I created it years ago, back when I had no gardening experience at all. It's still my favorite feature in my garden. It’s what taught me how to garden, and to enjoy it too!

God, this bubble burst is going to be so brutal
