Happiness Jar

17:52 mareku 0 Comments

This is a very neat idea of Elizabeth Gilbert: a Happiness Jar: 

"Every day (well, almost every day) I write down the happiest moment of that day on a small piece of paper, and I fold it up and put it in this big jar. Then later (days, months or years later) when I am feeling blue, I sometimes reach into the jar and pull out a memory (one that would otherwise have been long forgotten) and I can remember one of the simplest and best random moments of my life."

What a great idea - it is something I have to start doing as well - but then again: I never feel blue!
 
 

Nexus 5: smart phone of the year

18:14 mareku 0 Comments

After my first period on Android with the HTC desire HD it took a while before considering going back to this platform. Android 2.0 did not leave a favorable impression to say the least. Also having all the HTC "goodies" on a phone doesn't help.
But now Google has this awesome "Nexus 5" - with Android stock 4.4. and a great hardware this phone feels like a completely different droid. It's super fast, light and works like a dream. Google now is magical. So gone are the Lumia 920 and WP8 and hello again Google (I even re applied for Google plus) :-)

This year I wanted to do sometime classic with X-mas dinner: a Turkey old school. And then you have no other choice than to opt for the Kelly Bronze Turkey. This free range turkeys have it all: they are huge, fat and taste like ...uh... turkey! The funny thing is that they ALWAYS prepare flawlessly - it seems they actually like to be cooked :-)
