Inspiration .. or the lack of it;

Its almost ten o’clock on this lovely summer evening. I sit outside, in the comfortable deckchair that overlooks our garden. The dramatic, almost pathetic screams of one of our neighbors peacocks echoes eerily through the silence of the city. A pale pink moon turns its face towards the setting sun over our ever rotating planet.

Tipping point.

There is a point in time where things change, where a balance tips, ever so slightly, from one side to the other. Where a moment in time, even so briefly as a day ago .. seems like an eternity. Where tomorrow becomes today and yesterday becomes a long time ago. Today I feel, is such

Open Source Superheroes.

I take a look at my computer screen and brush my gaze through the myriad of icons on the desktop. Each one representing a file i’m working on, a piece of music I like to listen to, or a picture I made with my digital camera or downloaded somewhere from the internet. Below my menu

How Geeks do Ikea.

Whow .. That was another busy weekend as we prep and prod to get the whole move on the way. Can’t believe its all going so fast. Even today I am beginning to realize that this will probably be the last "Monday-evening" we’ll have in our house here. By this time next week we will

Pondering on the new Geek-core

With the move coming closer and closer, more an more cardboard boxes are stacking themselves up around me. The spacious office upstairs has been taken apart, and i have retreated to the living room, mounting my macbook pro on a dodgy cheap-ass dinner table. But I am however into full "planning" mode.
