Information is beautiful
David Mcandless: The pioneer of Infographics.
Looking into the amount of careers he has dipped his finger into, it's easy to see how he came to form one of the most recent, "trendiest" ways to absorb people into data.
Put simply - he's made data cool and information beautiful.

Idea. It's Free.
It occurred to me the other day that I am probably going through my second adolescence in Amsterdam.
Getting things out of my system that I never got to do, in order to be a (hopefully) more balanced, more stable adult who will have no regrets and then one day be with another well balanced, stable adult.
Together, there may be a chance we could create, rear, guide and nourish well balanced and stable children.

Getting things out of my system is one thing that could happen, or the other thing that could happen is that it becomes a way of life...
Anyway why would I think that I'm living the life of a pubescent teenager straight out of a Judy Blume novel, you may ask?
Well because I spend my free time gladly making things like this:

Not exactly what the kids in Judy Blume books were getting up to, but a little juvenile nonetheless, non?
This kind of activity is not something people with white-collar corporate jobs do, at this age.
People in normal corporate white collar corporate jobs go to the gym, learn how to bake, watch a leisurely game of tennis or perhaps play squash after hours.
They don't make stencil art.
In case you haven't been keeping up to speed, what you see above is the result of a thought I had one day at the office which I wrote in this post.
But I don't care.
Adolescence number #2 is proving to be an interesting time indeed.

Far Flung
An Adelaide native is the Restaurant Manager at Noma, the world's best restaurant, located in Copenhagen.
James Spreadbury.
Pretty cool. And even though he works at the World's Best Restaurant, he misses Schnitzels (just like me...)

Comforts
Sometimes all a girl wants is a bowl of noodles with dumplings with her friends after work, and a hug from her mum.
Unfortunately, I live in a place where both of those things are a luxury.
