Over the years I have written about issues, commented on events, or simply shared stories which I hope are worth sharing.

For example, while rebuilding this website, I came across a story of a seminar I attended at THiNK in 2012. The topic of the lecture was The anatomy of a pandemic by Prof. Ian Lipkin! My last line in my blog about that was prophetic: “I cannot help but think we will hear of Dr Lipkin again…”. Amazing when you read that blog again after our experience with Covid.

My background is Finance & IT. The blogs are about general topics. I have always been an a great fan of Open Source software but these days that has been incorporated to such an extend that it is better for me to phrase it as Tech. As a typical Dutchman I have always cycled but restarted that again as a form of meditation while working for the ING bank. I have not stopped since :)
