I think most people know that I like to play video games and have done so for a very long time. So during our vacation in Greece, which I’ll talk about soon, I was browsing a bit on Twitter when a message caught my eye. Someone wrote that the game “Lemmings” had its 30th year…

A nice walk
Yesterday, I went for a very nice walk with one of my colleagues. The weather was quite pleasant and perfect for a walk. We often have good conversations during working hours on various interesting, work-related and non-work-related topics.

Holland SF is the Magazine of the NCSF, Nederlands Contactcentrum voor Science Fiction (Dutch Science Fiction Society). This society…
“Griesmeelpudding” (Semolina pudding)
I think that it is well known that I love to cook and try often new things. I am always interested in recipes from different parts of the world. But some times it is nice to look a little bit closer to home.Some days ago I was doing in the local supermarket and there I…
