I’m a long-time fan and reader of the stories by H.P. Lovecraft and many other writers who have contributed to, and have kept alive the shared universe which now goes by the name of The Cthulhu Mythos.
I guess that’s why I suffer from the mental defect that all things tentacular make me think of that world-famous otherworldly priest of the Great Old Ones, Cthulhu himself. So you can imagine that I was pleasantly surprised to see that Mechelen, since last week now has its own Chthonian hangout “In de Pekton”, which literally means “In the barrel of tar”. Judging from their sign, I guess it’s pretty easy to see who or what is emerging from that barrel of tar.
And therefore I see it as my duty to give a well-meant welcome to our otherworldly overlord with a good old-fashioned “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn”

First post of the year, so allow me the mandatory “Happy New Year!” shout out…
Those who know me, probably know that I regularly write for the “Communication, Innovation & Frustration” blog for the De Tijd website. These blog posts are always in Dutch, but I’ve decided to at least announce them on my blog here, and post a link, that way those with RSS feeds will see them pop up in there as well, as opposed to only on Twitter.
This month I wrote a small follow-up piece to my previous post about new interfaces such as Apple’s Siri and Microsoft’s Kintect, by highlighting an interesting case I found on YouTube about software developers collaborating and sharing code during a meeting using different touch devices and a Kinect.
