some personal stuff about me that you don’t want to know:

Last minute pointer:

I like seeing other people’s workplaces…
Martin told me [...]
This t-shirt text puzzled me this morning…
ZIM

I figured it out after a while but at first I kept associating ZIM with Zimbabwe.
I’ve uploaded two batches of snapshots to my Flickr stream. I’m a snapshotter at heart and [...]
