Besides the end-of-year bonus from my work, the tax administration office also decided they owed me some money. So I got myself an iPhone 3G today in Belgium, since they’re simlock free there. I still have a contract that won’t expire untill the summer, and besides, I don’t like to be limited in my choice … Read more
Dopey is a newborn robot Camarasaurus. That’s right, I got myself a Pleo. Not a Xmas present (otherwise I’d have unpacked it too soon), the timing is purely coincidental.

Since a week or two ago my 20 GB 4th generation iPod died, I needed something else. As temporary substitute my phone (a Nokia N73) did nice, but a phone just isn’t designed to be an MP3 player. An iPod is. It just sounds better (with proper ear pieces). Back in late 2004, when I … Read more
