    Photography Thread

    I was debating whether or not to buy another lens. My setup is pretty tiring to carry around, as it's 1.33kg, and, worse than that, it's also quite bulky. I can somehow grind through it on hikes, because it's worth it. But because it's so bulky, I don't carry it with me at any other point...

    Conservative or liberal (politics)

    It was a long and hard fight, but I am still very cautious in my optimism. Yes, the list that promises to fight against corruption has a majority in the Parliament now - which is amazing - but I wouldn't underestimate the losing side on this. They still hold ~40% of the Parliament seats, they...

    I like my life...but I want yours. Happy for you! It's a blessing to even be in that position. I'll be awaiting pics on Instagram as always.

    Saltwater, Sneijder - The Legacy [ASOT]

    Good you noticed it - this version is the same as that, only worse: a worse drum/bassline combo, and probably less dynamics.

    Fiancee loved it! For me it was alright, good for what it is but wouldn't watch again. Wouldn't rate it as highly, although you can't fault it much either.

    What's on your mind today?

    Second serious crisis in my company, in my 5 years there. Survived the first one - only just - and the second one does not impact me yet, but it's giving me huge worries. We're highly dependent on the EU doing well, but we all know how that's going...

    World/ethnic music

    I don't know if it's just the impact that this has had on me yesterday and at this moment, but damn, how do you listen to this and then listen to trance in the same day? It's just impossible. There are three different movements, and it's just incredible to hear how they all evolve into really...

    Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Director's Cut For the bad sides of this movie: - Orlando Bloom casting not quite ideal - Loaded with "moments", slo-mo scenes etc. - It's not completely true to history, but then again even the fictionalized part of the story doesn't really stretch the main...

    Arno – What Is Life!? EP [Arno]

    Nice one! Flows so easily, a joy to listen to. @Hensmon

    What's your favourite unreleased music?

    Technically released, but there's just no trace of it anymore.

    Feedback on nearly finished track.

    I quite like that it goes hard. I am not too fond of the track overall, but it is not my style so it's not on me to comment. That said, the mixing does not do it any favors. In the climax especially, everything is very loud and you can hear a lot of elements have to fight hard to be heard. It...

    Aerium & Macker - Cloths Of Heaven [Electronic Architecture]

    Am I too old for technology, or is that IG preview simply not there? Same with the one from the Eco thread.

    What's on your mind today?

    Sweet irony - I've just been to the post office and the experience is 10/10. Very fast and efficient service, pleasant and helpful workers...but they do have sort of a manager behind their backs.

    What's on your mind today?

    I wonder why most publicly (government) owned companies/businesses/institutions have the most awful customer service there is. It's always slow, and you always feel like you insulted everyone by just showing up.

    Halon's: 'What is the last thing you ate/drank?' 2.0

    I both hate and love Thursdays. It's a day where I come into the office, and order a burger. Don't know why, but they are only available on Thursdays. 200g of beef, nice patty, bit of cheese and bacon, some fries...not perfect, but still! But Thursday is a day of many meetings, and a certain...

    V/A - Global Dance Archive II [Transmigration]

    You are not going crazy. Or at least, you are not going crazy alone. Fully agree. The remix is very good, but the original is something else. I quite like the AtomTM track too!

    Sasha & John Digweed - Northern Exposure Redux (Compilation) [LateNightTales]

    To be honest (and I realize this is one of my biggest blunders with electronic music), I don't think I ever listened to Northern Exposure. The tracklist is stellar though, and it just shot up to the absolute top of my TODO list. Plus, it contains the best trance track ever! I was also hoping...

    Sketchiest place(s) you've visited

    For me it may just be Rome's Termini (main train station). Girlfriend and I were ending our holiday, and arrived there around 4 AM for an airport shuttle bus. While walking and looking around to try and find our bus, at one of the corridors there were a bunch of certainly non-Italian...

    Health, Exercise & Wellness

    Finally got into a bit of a rhythm with physical exercise - on Wednesday, I play 1h of 5v5/6v6 football. On Saturday and Sunday, I go to the gym. So in 8 weekend days a month, I do 6 days of whole-body strength training, and 2 days of just arms/back/chest or whatever I feel like. Maybe a hike...
