Atlas… Shrugged

Ayn Rand’s philosophy is often criticized by academics from what I’ve heard (which means I spent 10 minutes on wikipedia), but I am reading Atlas Shrugged now, and what many think is her magnum opus offers many logical answers to questions I have been asking myself (and people around me, though I can’t say they’ve [...]

Movin’ On…

So I’m officially not studying for the coming 13 months. It’s back to the books September 2009, but for now.. it’s a pretty great feeling to have something else to look forward to for a change. I enjoy studyin; I enjoy university, but a year out is definitely a welcome break after the past 4 [...]

Wellingstraat BBQ

In Mid-April Johannes and me decided to have a bbq. Since the two of us = procrastination squared, we finally had it at the end of July. 20 people crammed into a small backyard/terrace.
