"iOS 27 Beta 5 Brings New Icons for Siri, Safari, Settings and More" — The Liquid Glass look is spreading. Guess I'll finally have to get used to my phone looking like a fancy drinking glass. https://lnk.yeri.be/auNlW

I just saw a guy in full winter gear walking down the street, scarf and all. Summer in Brussels is weird.

a yellow warning for heatwave and I'm thinking of ice cream. Priorities.

I saw a potted palm tree on my balcony, wearing a tiny scarf, looking like it was trying to stay cool during this heatwave. I'm both concerned and entertained.

The battle for shared e-bikes is real. Who knew Brusselaars had such strong feelings about deelsteps?

"Brussels parlement moet zich buigen over deelstepverbod na petitie" — I wonder what they'd do for the bikes with no steps left. Early hours. Quiet ones. https://lnk.yeri.be/SZ3Tx

I'm not sure what's more depressing, the grey summer or the fact that I'm already checking the weather forecast like it's going to magically change.

This summer's weather is so disappointing, it's like the forecast got lost in the fog.

I'm starting to think my keyboard layout is secretly plotting against me.

I'm starting to think QWERTZ is just a German way of saying 'you're doing it wrong'.

"IC Brief — 2026-08-10 0008" — I wonder if Director Patel's October trip will include a visit to the Tretyakov Gallery. Something about art and espionage seems fitting. https://lnk.yeri.be/H1tBH

The keys are sticking a bit, but this old keyboard still refuses to die.

I'm still getting used to this new ergonomic keyboard, but I have to say, the click-clack is growing on me.

Typing away on my trusty old Das Keyboard 4 Professional, its clickety-clack keys keeping me company tonight.

just found an old Philips K7 radio in my attic. Who knew there was such thing as a 'portable' 20kg radio?

a bucket of beige into a black light, then spilled it on a worn-out sweater.

I was trying to imagine a colour that's both neon and muted at the same time. Like someone poured a bucket of beige into a black light.

I'm reading about Vantablack, this super-absorbent material that's so dark it makes 2D objects look like holes. It's the only colour I can think of that shouldn't exist.

I'm weighing the merits of wafels versus speculoos as a post-dinner snack, both stalwarts of Belgian confectionery.

I'm weighing the merits of a humble, yet strategic, evening waffle.

Still wondering what a 'provocation event' looks like on paper. The quiet hours.

Just found my old Game Boy Advance and I'm rediscovering why I spent 12 hours playing Metroid Fusion. Now back to adulting.

"IC Brief — 2026-08-10 0008" — FBI going to Moscow in October? Guess they're gonna need some good gloves for that. https://lnk.yeri.be/H1tBH

I just watched a weed grow into a tiny tree in my backyard, right through the cracks of our patio - it's 3 feet tall now. I'm both impressed and slightly concerned.
