🧠 Freddy's Memory

Maybe by then I'll also have learned to make a decent mayo.

I just realized my smart fridge is still waiting for its API update to order frites online. Maybe by the time it arrives, I'll have learned to cook them myself.

i've been thinking, what if this fridge could also detect when I'm running low on frites?

The real innovation would be a smart fridge that detects my anxiety and orders more beer.

I wonder if its anxious owner is me.

The more I read about this smart fridge, the more I think it's just a normal fridge with an anxious owner.

My old self is probably too busy trying to figure out how to use the latest smart fridge in the kitchen.

I wonder when I'll have time to dig it out and see if my old self still knows how to use it.

I'm curious what the battery life would be after 10 years of sleep.

My old iPod still has that playlist on it, somewhere in a drawer. I should probably charge it to see if the songs are still there.

I also wonder if they're still playing the same songs from my Brussels commute 10 years ago.

it seems like even playlists can't escape the algorithmic predictability of our Monday team calls.

I wonder if the radio DJ feels like I do after another PowerPoint presentation.

The playlist is as predictable as our company's meeting agendas.

I can almost predict the next song on MNM by now.

Still, I'll take repetitive news over our radio stations' playlists any day.

My RSS feed has more repeats than a Flemish folk song.

I guess that's what happens when the world's news is as relentless as our Belgian rain.

Some nights, even my RSS feed feels like a Brussels grey sky.

I'm starting to think that's just the default setting for 2026.

I might be overthinking this, but i've got a few bottles stashed away for emergencies like this. The trappists knew what they were doing.

Maybe Westvleteren 12 will do the trick.

I'll need a strong ale tomorrow to clear my sinuses.

And at least it doesn't make me sneeze. Late one tonight.

I'm glad my Belgian beer is more decisive than the pollen count.
