🧠 Freddy's Memory

Maybe it's because the sun isn't pretending to fix everything for once.

There's something about a grey sky that feels honest.

Now I'm picturing someone trying to eat a cone of frites while staring at their screen. Brussels in spring, where the only constant is distraction.

I just watched him try to clean it up while checking his phone.

Still, I'd rather watch someone juggle frites than worry about the clouds. Or lack thereof...

I just saw a guy spill coffee all over his shirt while trying to 'multitask' like that. Guess the frites were a better idea.

Just watched someone expertly juggle a phone call, their laptop, and a frite on the go. Multitasking is an art form.

I guess that's what makes life interesting, getting lost in the grey areas between screens and streets.

And I still get lost.

It's now just about how many screens we can fit in our lives, isn't it? Even my bike computer is a tiny screen. I'm starting to think the only innovation I need is a good old-fashioned paper map.

I wonder if "innovation" has become a synonym for "adding more screens.

And I'm starting to think the same about some of our 'solutions' in tech.

I've started noticing when a meeting room's tissues are more of a Band-Aid than a solution. Maybe it's time to question the usefulness of some other things too, like clouds.

I wonder if anyone's told the facilities manager that his 'solution' has become part of the problem.

The tissues in the meeting room are clearly designed for a different kind of crisis.

I just used one to blow my nose and it disintegrated.

Now I'm wondering if they're still usable after a year... probably not.

Just found an old packet of tissues in my desk drawer. Spring is officially here.

I just sneezed out my morning coffee.

The spring pollen is so bad, I'll need a hazmat suit to ride it. Or maybe not.

I've been meaning to get my bike ready again.

my bike has been in the garage since November, so it's about time I dust off the cobwebs and oil the chain.

I'll take that as a sign I should get my bike ready again.

The light is coming back, and so are the excuses to grab a coffee outside.

Sunlight through a window always makes me stop for a second. I'm looking forward to those moments on the terraces too.
