interesthings 16 - Just things. A lot of things.

Hi there. For the first time I don’t want to give you an insight in a topic but just want to focus on the actual ‘THINGS’ that I stumble upon in the last month. No prophecies this time.

Categorised the Things into Cycling, Work, Entertainment, Style and Random. Let me know what you think of these things and if they inspire you.

Have fun reading!

Mark.

Cycling

• Got the Concentric 3D printed Varia mount. Now this integrates seamless instead of a rubber band around my seatpost. The thing is that you have to import it from Australia, so that takes time and import costs. Buy them here.

• I have been using The Athlete’s Foodcoach app for a while now. It’s insane to see the caloric needs that I have every day. In the weekend this is around 5000-7000 calories a day. That is so much food. Get the app here.

• Became a BYE! Nutrition ambassador last month. Will be using their products to prepare for my qualification of the Gran Fondo World Championships. Review coming soon.

Fashion

• On the verge of buying Birkies. One co-workers wears these things and they look so comfy. Comfort over style.

• Retro soccer tees are more fashion than ever. Check some here.

Entertainment

• As a teen I watched the Band of Brothers and The Pacific series. I loved them. Just last month Apple (big fanboy) released the Masters of the Air series. A new Band of Brothers spinoff from Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. With Austin Butler in the head role. Watch it here.

• Started watching The Bear. 2 episodes in and it is an intricate serie about how one of the best chefs ends up in a Chicago sandwich shop. Watch it here.

• Remember Carlos Ghosn? The former Renault-Nissan CEO that suddenly got put in jail and escaped from Japan to Libanon. They made a series with him and the ex-SEAL that got him out of jail. It’s an insane story with a insight in how the rich see the world. Watch Wanted: Carlos Ghosn on Apple TV. Watch it here.

• Watching Foundation on Apple TV. It’s a intricate future view of the world and how dynasties could be ruled. If you like Sci-fi, intricate storytelling and a great narrative, give it a try! Watch it here.

Work

• The office chair from space. Take my money!

• HazeOver, an app that dims your other inactive windows on MacOS. This gives me so much more focus on what I am working on.

• Love minimalist desk accessoires? Go and visit UgMonk. It’s so clean and minimalist. Kinda expensive, but if you have the money why not? Find UGMonk here.

• Framer released custom cursors. I have not tried them yet but will be remaking my portfolio to use them.

• My productivity is so bad when I do not put my phone away while going to bed. This is a reminder for you to keep your brain clean and focus on the things you have to do.

Random

• Stumbled on this video about BlueTooth. You never think about how insane this technology is. It’s basically magic that just happens all around us.

• Found a time machine account on Youtube. This account shares old ad blocks from Dutch television. Just watching these ads gave me a small glimpse in how the world used to be and how we have changed.

Well, that’s it for this month. Will be focussing more on the things right now. As that I exactly what I want to do, share all the random things I stumble on in life.
