WAXY 10 years

h

Ten years ago, I started this site with three simple rules: no journaling, no tired memes, and be original. 18 months later, I added a little linkblog.
In those ten years, I’ve posted 415 entries, including this one, and over 13,000 links.
The decision to start writing here regularly changed my entire life. It’s given me exposure, a place to share my projects and crazy experimentation with technology. It’s created new opportunities for me, directly or indirectly responsible for every major project I’ve gotten involved in. It’s a place to play and experiment with ideas, some of which led to big breakthroughs and passions. And it connected me to people who cared about the things I did, many of whom became lifelong friends.

Congrats Waxy.

    Mitt Romney’s tax plan is a mathematical failure

    Romney

    Even if Romney’s hot mic moment is a preview of the loopholes he would close, his tax plan creates a lot of red ink.

              Melinda Gates: Birth control back on the agenda

              A big solution for many world problems: Everyone wants smaller families and birth control. Why we still don’t score a 100% is strange since everyone wants control over their life in this aspect.

                  Winner Golfs Biggest Tournament never took lesson

                  De man die afgelopen zondag de Masters heeft gewonnen, Bubba Watson, is een bijzonder persoon. Hij blijkt nog nooit een golfles te hebben gehad (naar eigen zeggen: ‘if you can’t beat me, how can you teach me’), heeft nog nooit alcohol gedronken of een boek gelezen. Verder zingt hij in een boyband.
                  Zijn filmpjes op Youtube zijn inmiddels legendarisch: hij mikt ballen vanuit de garage in zijn zwembad en test de hardheid van groenten met een driver.

                    Forget Viagra, the ‘Cuddle drug’ is IN

                    h

                    Taking a chemical that helps mothers bond with their babies may not immediately strike you as the best way to improve a man’s libido. But oxytocin, the so-called ‘cuddle hormone’, can dramatically improve male sexual performance, researchers have found – producing results on a par with Viagra. (..) One of the scientists behind the discovery and development of Viagra was so impressed that he described an oxytocin-based treatment as having ‘blockbuster potential’

                                  lol

                                  Not all album covers are created equal. Some are so incredible that they can’t now be explained by the people who originally conceived of them. Here we look at 30 of the worst, most strange and downright ridiculous album covers ever made.

                                    Nederland, land zonder normen en waarden

                                    j

                                    Stoere praat in het buitenland, maar je gedragen als een verwend kind dat vindt dat regels alleen voor anderen zijn. Prat gaan op de vrijheid van meningsuiting, die anderen eerder narcistisch en ziek zouden noemen. Nederland is normloos, schrijft Ramsey Nasr.(..)
                                    Om te ontsnappen aan een vacuüm zonder normen en waarden, zullen wij dus moeite moeten doen. De burger zal die moeite pas ondernemen als hij merkt dat de politiek én de media hetzelfde doen.

                                    Ramsey Nasr raakt de tijdsgeest zuiver.
