United Holes of Benetton
I hate it when a company puts merchandise protection above customer respect. They assume everyone is a thief before being a customer, and that’s insulting. Software activation that is taxing the legitimate users, not the pirates. Hard to open huge blisters for items the size of a stick of gum. Those horrible anti-theft tags on clothes that damage the material.
Here is a sad statistic: out...

Perfect timing
It’s a soft longish beep (it’s like the drive is taking a deep breath), followed by a sharp increase in tone (an exhaling that becomes whistling) and then a constant hum. The soft longish beep happens just before the hard disk drive starts spinning up, while the sharp increase in tone is the spinning up. Then the comforting hum.
My new external disk drive seems to be suffering from...

Karaoke Overload
Don’t be afraid to sing along, and to not be confined to only one song, try to do them all! (at the same time).
Also, notice the abundance of ‘baby’. And the fact that most of them are a lot more pornographic than the actual music videos, probably because our brains are already desensitized to boobs and cheeks and tongues and shit, but when we see written “…are you...

Overload
If you’ve been wondering what’s up with all the slow weird videos, they are all part of a greater scheme. There was once upon a time an Youtube aggregation project called ‘zeitgeist’, in which six Youtube videos would play simultaneously on one page (while you can still find the posts here on Central Feed, the links lead nowhere I’m afraid…)
Overload is the...

Site updated
And here we are, a meaner, leaner and cleaner version of the site of yesteryear. I invite you to peruse and explore with pleasure. If things look funny, you might need to hit Shift-Refresh in your browser so that it ignores the cache for the website. Or just zap the cache all the way, who needs that gunk building up in their computer anyway.
All and any bug reports are greatly appreciated...

Site update
Hi, while browsing the Central Feed you may have noticed that things are working a bit funny, like links not working and such stuff. That’s because the website is being updated to a new version. Hang tight, things will (hopefully) return to normal in a few short hours.

The Paris Year Chapter 3: Shopping
Previously on the Paris Year: a tourist point of view and a walk on the streets. It’s now time to expand a bit on the view from the streets part.
In today’s episode we’re dealing with the consumerist side that is within all of us, both nurtured and exploited by marketing. Paris can be expensive, and Paris can be cheap, and everything in between. It’s just a location...

Some Kind of Activity
Maybe it’s just this economy, but to me opening a store in a former bank office building sounds like a plot for some horror movie. A Paranormal Activity style thing shot mostly by the surveillance cameras in the shop, people in changing rooms going about trying on clothing, when suddenly the faux-leather jacket on the hanger moves ever-so-slightly. While in another changing booth a woman...

The Paris Year Chapter 2: Streets
On with the show then. Previously on The Paris Year: postcards and stock photography (editorial in the case of the Eiffel tower at night, the Louvre and well… most things actually).
On tonight’s episode: a relaxed walk though Paris and all the wonderful sights on the sides of the streets. These are actually the things that I miss most now. Not the iron lady*, not the museums, but all...

The Paris Year Chapter 1: The Tourist
A collection of images taken during a year of living in Paris. The first chapter is probably the most boring one, as it is basically comprised of the photos that we all take when we arrive in a new and shiny touristic destination. And in Paris, that is easy, just turn your camera towards any of the hundreds of attractions and just shoot.
While the thought that I actually am living in Paris was...

Exercise responsibly
In between TV and radio commercials we are told to eat at least 5 different fruits or vegetables per day. Go out and exercise every day. Drink responsibly. Don’t eat too salty, too fatty nor too sweet. In between commercials for all kinds of fast food chains, microwaveable foods, deserts that are 90% sugar and 10% texture agents, various beers and wines (and a commercial to some...

A lighter shade of pink
As you can see, Central Feed is going through some serious changes. Actually, Central Feed is dying. Once all the kinks are worked out of this new design, it will become the de-facto layout for all the website.
For too long my website felt like it had two distinct personalities. One being the “big site” and the other one, the light fun that is Central Feed. It is now time to work on amassing...

Leather & Paper
A simple theme that could very nicely fit any blog journal. Like the title says, it’s a piece of paper on a leather-top. I’m currently testing it with Tumblr. You can play with it here. Well, there’s not much to play with, just… look at it.
It’s my first foray in designing a page without mocking it up in an image editor. The hardest part is getting it off the ground,...
