Mac vs. PC

December 1, 2008

I started as a Mac-fan, but changed to PC ages ago. Now I am thinking of switching again.

So here is a brilliant Apple campaign ‘I am a Mac’ , to convince people why you should be using a Mac or rather very recognizable situations when using a PC… This clip is a compilation of several ads. Stay tuned, because most of them are hilarious :-)

So, why should I change to Mac? Or should I rather stay with my PC? Should I upgrade to Vista? Looking forward to your feedback!

Enjoy every day,

The Sopranos

November 24, 2008

Ok, let’s lifehack a famous TV-series…

Why not The Sopranos? Yes, why not? So somebody did…

Have fun with the result :-)

Of course, you can still view the 7 seasons and enjoy for 77 hours instead of just these 7 minutes :-)

And tell your friends about this too…

Enjoy every day,

Download Day

June 16, 2008

Tomorrow is Download Day!

Be prepared, be ready and be part of a new world record!

Download Day FirefoxHow? Simply by downloading the new Firefox 3 brower. If you want to step up, go to SpreadFirefox.com and pledge to download the browser. Of course, you can find all kinds of banners and extra info to join a growing number of Firefox aficionados.

Several people are organising local events and have started groups. I just found out, there is one in Belgium too!

Why is Firefox one of my favourite browers? Openness, innovation and freedom of the Internet. Also a large number (3000+!) of fantastic plug-ins that facilitate my life as a lifehacker tremendously!

Enjoy every day,

No stress!

June 15, 2008

We all know that stress is a killer! So, why don’t we stop having stress? It’s not that easy being without stress, right?

Well, to help you destress a bit, I have found an excellent videoclip by Laurent Wolf, No Stress (Lyrics).

Just click to experience the YouTube clip!

Enjoy this clip: great music and funny, stressy situations :-)

Relax and have fun!!!

We are all being influenced…

October 2, 2007

Everyone knows that we are being influenced by the many impressions we have to process daily.

Just think about the traditional media, where ads, billboards, etc. are read/seen (unconsciously?) throughout the day.

At a certain moment in time, a new product hits the market. It seems like we are instantly familiar with this new product…How did this happen? Most of the time through subliminal messaging and influence.

If you are curious about how this stuff works, have a close look at this:

What’s your feedback? Did you get it rightaway or where you surprised too?

Enjoy every day,

Your child’s creativity?

September 19, 2007

A lot has been said about creativity, but what are the rules, the boundaries, the goals, the outcome? Who knows?

Who are we to put a limit to a child’s creativity? Maybe we should ask: How can we encourage a child?Let’s use our imagination too…

I know this commercial already exists for some time now, but it’s time for you to have a look at it ;-)

So, think twice, before you are judging your child’s drawing(s) again…

Let’s all have fun,
Bert


The BIG Game is back!

April 26, 2007

A lot of people have asked me to publish The BIG Game again. More and more trainers are using this game in their workshops. So, it must be good then, right ;-)

It is an excellent fun game to play with anyone!

How well do you know other people (really)? This game is meant to speed up the process of learning other people in depth. Even friends who you know a long time will come up with fascinating stories…

Download it and give it a try!

Have fun,

Bert


Are you bluffing?

April 1, 2007

Are you (sometimes) bluffing?

You’d better check out this website

I’ve tried several questions and I must admit it is not easy!

What’s it about? It asks you a question. You answer Way! (Yes) or No Way! (No). Look how many people got bluffed by the question…

Have fun,

Fun at fridays…

March 23, 2007

Hey all,

Here is some fun stuff for a great friday like today:

I used to believe is a website about silly beliefs that people had as children.

Here are some great examples:

Chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
Oral sex is talking about sex.
Girls don’t fart.
There are monsters living under your bed.
Parents have eyes in the back of there heads.
If you swallow a seed, a plant will grow inside you.

What were your beliefs when you were a kid, or still believe, but didn’t tell anyone (yet)?

Have a great day,

Bert
