Personal links

• Dread Pirate Gavroche – Contrary to common beliefs this is not one of my blogs. It’s the Pirate’s. Definitely his. The Dread Pirate Gavroche likes to travel around the world and wreak havoc wherever he goes. Check out his latest adventures!
• Gem a day – Lovely thoughts and finds by a Slovenian living in Amsterdam. (Not that this has anything to do with it.)
• Hidden Message – My buddy Steve likes a different way of looking at things: He’s a Green in the US. (Yah!) He hasn’t posted in a while but you never know when he’ll catch up again.
• Adapt Music – Keep an eye on what Maarten highlights on the blog.
• Angie – Check what she’s up to in 2012!
• Calypte – Scanner extraordinaire

Music! Food for the soul

• Ancient Voices – Sara Hessel Schneider is a friend from uni. She likes early music. Me too. She makes radio about it. I listen.
• Bands/Artists I like include the Decemberists, Sarah Jarosz, and Seth Lakeman. Yup, a little folksy. I also like tons of other artists. Guess who. (New suggestions are always welcome.)
• Grounds – If you’re ever in or even near Rotterdam, Netherlands, be sure to check out what Grounds has to offer. Do!

Arts, Crafts, Doodles and other fringes to life that make it worthwile

• Gail Cali, Doodler Extraordinaire – Gail is wonderful. She is an art student in Atlanta, US, and this is what she does when the teachers aren’t looking.
• My Line of Words – A website by my dear friend S who lives in California, US. She hasn’t posted in a while but I hope she’ll pick it up again. Visit, and maybe we’ll convince her.
• Paperfaerie – I’m a bit of a paper enthusiast but only low-key. Paperfaerie has it down to perfection. Check out what she can do with paper. It’s amazing.
• Shelly Bedsaul – I have a few pieces by Shelly in my house. She is an artist who seems to take few things seriously, but her art.

Foodstuffs because food and sleep are what keep life together

• Emily drinking Tea – An American in… Cambridge. Love how she writes about her cooking. Also quite a lovely person to meet.
• Roast Chicken and Red Wine – Serious foodie stuff. I am most definitely not one but I do like reading from people who are passionate about something. (Well, not anything.) Luc likes his food.

Random recommendations

• The Mompetition – A very healthy view on parenthood from a fellow twins-mother. She stopped posting new videos but the ones she already put up are so funny and spot-on that you may want to (re)visit.
• Instructables – Instructables has the craziest, weirdest, nuttiest but also most useful how-to’s on the web. It is worth it to sign up for the newsletter because you get the most astonishing things in your mailbox. Fire-breathing animatronic pony! Go on, you’ve always wanted to build one…
