Recording an interview with my parents • 22 Jun 2024

Now I Can Just Print That Video • 01 Dec 2023
It all started with Instagram Reels showing me too many yummy cooking videos. I wanted to try some recipes out myself. But I didn’t want to have to keep my phone in the kitchen, and I didn’t want to have...
Idea: Automatic Expense Reporting • 15 Sep 2022
Every end of the month, as I spend several hours getting on top of all my receipts, expenses and invoices, scanning barely legible paper tidbits with my phone, I’m thinking to myself, surely there must be a better way? I...
Nuuz.io has fans in Russia • 11 Jan 2020
I saw I was getting quite some traffic from Russia on my tech news aggregator. It turns out I have a Russian site that published a post on nuuz.io. I made it onto their ‘Web projects of the year 2019’...
Idea: Branded tools as a service • 22 Sep 2017
A lot of hosting companies already offer one-click installs for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, dotProject. These are mostly content (CMS) tools. They’re useful, but they cover only a part of what a corporate customer would want. I would love to see...
DIY: making my bamboo USB SSD disk expansion bay • 11 Feb 2017

Idea: Extended MRTG format • 13 Oct 2015
Every tech geek has his/her preferred tools and one of mine is without doubt Tobi Oetiker’s MRTG (Multi Router Traffic Grapher), which I’ve used to make pretty trend lines of much more than routers or traffic.
Idea: Double Vision for 3D cinema • 31 Dec 2012
(I had this idea in June 2011 and wrote this post in Oct 2011, but I decided to wait with publishing until my lovely colleague Sylvia could get the scoop and use it for a marketing action).
Idea: Emoticon for innuendo: &-) • 20 Apr 2012

Idea: hosted classification service • 26 May 2010
Yesterday evening I was watching “How to replace yourself with very small shell script” by Hilary Mason.
Idea: preview service for URL shorteners • 16 Nov 2009
I was using my iPhone to read my Twitter feed (Twitterrific) and Facebook and when comparing the two, I liked one thing about Facebook that Twitter/Twitterific does not have: when some one posts a URL, you get a preview icon...
Idea: Package Delivery 2.0 • 05 Apr 2007
I spent last weekend at the Brussels Tango Festival, mostly taking pictures of people dancing. Because of the lack of light that is typical for tango events, I had bought a Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens online one week before. First...
Idea: RSS with images - picture podcasting • 20 Jun 2005
There is something weird: after the audio-only iPods came the iPods with images, but there are no iPods for videos (yet). However, we already have video podcasts, but there are to my knowledge hardly any picture podcasts? Why did we...

Let me describe an idea I had for the intelligent cloud-connected mobile device charger that keeps all my mobile battery devices charged optimally.
