How had it come to a two-way bullfight between Tim, the bull and me? I mean it’s not a bull, it’s just some electrical current we have to go against, but that just means it’s faster. We called it a bullfight out of habit. Comes from a time before me anyway and I never thought to ask. It’s true that it shouldn’t kill us, since we helped make it, but this current had the sweat of all of us, it was damn powerful. It was what powered the city!

This post is a response to SciShow’s video about Solar Power on Youtube.
I’d like to start off by saying that I did enjoy the video, and that it is well done in the education and entertainment value, but there are some gaping problems in it in my view. Furthermore, just like in the video, I will be addressing only the Solar part, but that is only a section of all what renewable energies are and will be.

I wanted to write a proper review on Arctic Monkeys new album “Suck it and See”, but then again what kind of authority am I on the subject? So instead of going on any kind of musical dance, I’ll be brief. It’s different to everything they’ve had up to now and in some ways that makes it so much better. They are utterly

There are two things that are generally very hard to admit for most people. Firstly, that we really don’t know anything and secondly that luck plays a bigger part in our life than we attribute to it. Just look back at the last time you lost a bet, for example if I bet that my team will win, and they do I’d probably say “I knew they’d win, because…”, but

Imagine sitting in a restaurant at 450 metres altitude with the Atlantic Ocean straight ahead of you. Or Imagine watching something in the cinema and then going down an elevator for 400 metres. Well Hofman Dujardin Architects are done imagining,

In the episode “Home Wreckers” of How I Met Your Mother the character Barney Stinson tells a couple of very convincing stories – both of them conversations he had with two different women – and finishes both of them with the woman saying “your penis is enormous” taking all the credibility from his words because of it. I feel like that happens a lot, an interview with

Ah, that part of the economy that stands in obscurity. Ok, it isn’t obscure; it’s just so indefinable that the definition normally falls upon the fact that it’s so indefinable. So, after writing an exam on this topic, I feel like, to really understand it, I have to write it out in my own non-scientific words.

Most of the time, I’m an optimist, still I am flawed on various levels that take that edge away, and a few times I end up being a little bit of a pessimist. If you have these tendencies, I’ll be showing you why I think being a devout cynic is better than being a pessimist disguised as a realist. On a side note, anyone who likes what I write underneath should consider reading “The art of Possibility”

There are always things that keep you up at night…or in this case me. This time it was a YouTube video. Who am I kidding, it happens a lot. It talks about positive pranking; this is what I think about it.

I am at a phase of my potential writing career where nothing makes sense. My imagination cannot stop working (just this night thinking about four different stories has kept me awake) but either the words will not come out or I feel like another story idea is better. These are my turmoil-ridden feelings.
