About week 1933, or 1991
So, four years and some months ago I last did week notes. I thought it would be fun to pick those up again. Since I’m a lazy person, I went to a site to calculate the current week number of my life. The site said 1991, but I felt like that number was quite high…

I use Raycast for my almost auto-connecting my Bluetooth headphones
So I got some new nice new wireless headphones. I mostly used some basic AirPods over the past two years, but I work in a big office with lots of people around me. So I started to miss noise cancellation headphones ever since my previous pair broke in early 2023. AirPods are cool, especially if…

About week 1651: Utrecht, Russian Doll and things you can’t do yourself
Well. That’s just great. I completely forgot about my week notes last weekend. And do you know why? Well… I don’t. I really don’t. I stayed in Utrecht from last Sunday night, which perhaps robbed me of my usual surroundings of writing my week notes and of the train journey in which I can catch…

About week 1649: first days of Spring arrive
What a glorious weather this weekend. I know, I know, it’s only February and as my parents say: “Back when your sister was born late March, it was snowing”, but I happily take this weather to be the first days of Spring. We might pay for it with another cold streak later, but for now…

About week 1648: about fake news, John Green and the podcast wars
Folks, I’ve decided to mess with the format this week. Hopefully it makes for better reading than the bulleted list I used before. I guess bullets are mostly useful when you’re a person of fewer words (so not me). Also, the iPad Pro is back and fixed! Yay. Which makes me happy, and is maybe…

About week 1647: the end of podcasts, Andrew Bird and more
Well that’s the second week in a row these week notes are late. Sorry folks, it’s my intention to ideally post these in the weekend – like Sunday night – but it completely slipped my mind last night. Even though I did some preparation throughout the week. So here it goes.

About week 1646: iPad gone, Rosie Carney’s art, snow and rain
The iPad Pro is gone. Well not indefinitely, but the device that is turning out to be my main productivity tool, has gone in for repair the second time. I love the thing, but the touch screen sometimes doesn’t respond. The whole device is active, it just doesn’t respond to touch until I return to…

About week 1645: new plan(t)s
Writing with a headache isn’t ideal, but leaving it till Sunday night to write these week notes isn’t either. But here I find myself writing on Sunday night with the headache. So forgive me if this update is slightly shorter than usual. Having said that, thankfully I’m doing better than many of my plants. Despite…

About week 1644: Back to work
The first week back at work after prolonged time off (in my case three glorious weeks) isn’t the easiest. One of the benefits of having time off is being able to relax and wind down and view your life from afar. The downside is that you reset your rhythm twice: once when the holiday begins…

About week 1643: A new year starts in London
Happy new year everyone. My 2018 was pretty good all in all. It wasn’t always smooth sailing, but I’ve done so many things this year that I hadn’t done before. Or at least I’ve done things differently. Being in a relationship all year might have helped, but other things proved to be a catalyst for…
