The Plastic Cap Paradox

December 1, 2024 English 9 minute(s)

Recently a new regulation was introduced in the Netherlands. All product packaging with a plastic cap now has to make sure that cap stays attached. In practice, this means the cap acts as a hinge, after twisting it for the first time. It takes quite some force if you want to rip it off completely.

Is Google Digging Its Own Grave?

November 20, 2024 English 12 minute(s)

I am usually not one for clickbait titles on articles, but I think this one is actually quite accurate. Bear with me and thou shall be rewarded! Hopefully. This article talks about some interesting developments and my general thoughts which somehow always turn into philosophical life lessons.

Should school be fun?

November 15, 2024 English 9 minute(s)

I regularly read articles about the educational system, changes in schooling, and how our brain actually learns and develops. Over the years, I have seen the system (both at home in the Netherlands and abroad) change into something more “playful”.

Act now, ask questions later

November 12, 2024 English 6 minute(s)

One of the major problems in my own writing probably stems from my academic background. I was forced to do a bachelor in Applied Mathematics. And even if you hate it, even if you really don’t want to do it, you’ll think more and more in terms of “irrefutable logic” and “proofs” by the time you finish that degree.

Mijn gedachten over een helmplicht

November 8, 2024 Dutch 11 minute(s)

De laatste tijd kan je merken dat ik wat meer kranten lees. Ik heb al meerdere artikelen geschreven—zowel Nederlands als Engels—over kwesties van dit moment. Zoals eentje over de verhoging op BTW of over de USA Elections 2024.

Over de verhoogde belasting op kunst

November 8, 2024 Dutch 10 minute(s)

Sinds de komst van ons geweldige nieuwe kabinet is er één maatregel die overal op verzet stuit: het verhogen van de btw op kunst. In dit korte artikel wilde ik even mijn gedachten daarover delen, als freelance kunstenaar.

The USA Elections 2024

November 8, 2024 English 7 minute(s)

I wanted to briefly give my thoughts about the USA Elections that just happened. Because I think there are some interesting things to take away from it. I have absolutely no stake in this. I am Dutch, I live in the Netherlands, I have zero ties to anything in America.

You're Just Tired

November 5, 2024 English 4 minute(s)

More often than not, I go to bed thinking my creative output of that day has been dreadful. Maybe I’ve written a few chapters of a story. At the time, I felt productive and obviously felt like moving the story in the direction I chose. You can’t write down 3,000 meaningful words if you hate every part of your story in that moment.

The Inciting Incident Isn't Chapter 1

November 4, 2024 English 5 minute(s)

I am amazed at how long it took me to realize this, or at least put it in words. And amazed at how long it took me to write an article about it, but here we are!

The Fallacy of Effort

November 2, 2024 English 11 minute(s)

Here’s a common situation. You live together with siblings, roommates, parents, whoever. This means you share a few spaces, you share the refrigerator, you share objects and household duties. And then … some of them completely ignore that. They will empty a milk carton but just not throw it away. They will not clean up their stuff, not place things where they should be, which is obviously a major source of annoyance and frustration.

Header / Cover Image for 'Clash of Cheaters'

The Taceheart Tribe destroys all their opponents and the game, doing things that shouldn’t be possible. Elephants are used as cannonballs, candy canes as spears, and buildings teleported. When Wildebyte lands in the middle of it, they must figure out their tricks and defend against them before …
