About

Thank you for visiting this website.

This blog is a way for me to express myself. I can’t help it, I need to open my mouth and talk. It’s my nature. The second best thing: I open my laptop and write.

I could of course write for myself, and I do. I have a private diary. But going public adds a requirement to ensure at least some quality and accessibility. And it opens everything up for discussion.

But why not post all this stuff on facebook instead?

In a way this blog is an attempt to distance myself from social media. I am a fan of Twitter, Facebook and Youtube, those are great websites, but they are can also very busy and very noisy. The algorithms are constantly trying to recommend me some other content for consumption. Which is great, but not always. Not for me, anyway.

Blogs on the other hand invite us to stay and browse for a bit. After reading we can take some time to think about it. There’s no urgency on the screen. Nothing shouts at us: “Click here, to check out this other thing that might interest you.”

Also the content here stays. It doesn’t go anywhere. Any social media post almost immediately gets buried by newer posts by other people.

No, this is my space. And you, dear reader, are of course welcome to come here any time you want.

Also, do not hesistate to get in touch if there is something you want to talk about. I am always looking to make new friends who enjoy the same things as I do. Shoot me an email if you feel that we might get along.
