  • GAMMA schuurmachine HS200W – nieuwe schuurzool kopen

    De GAMMA handpalmschuurmachine HS200W Deze machine is goedkoop en daarmee is het meest positieve ook wel gezegd. Ik kocht hem min of meer als wegwerp artikel voor een klusje aan de boot. Inderdaad viel ook bij mij, net als bij veel anderen als ik de reviesws zo lees, na de eerste paar uur schuren het…

  • CrashPlan v.s. Backblaze

    I remember how amazing Crashplan backup service was back in 2010. Affordable, basically unlimited backup in the cloud made offsite backup practical for the home user. Somehow, they seem to have lost the plot somewhere in the past years. They have pivoted the business to focus on … something else? The client has deteriorated, the…

  • Melbourne for Kids & Dads: Top Playgrounds

    During the year we’ve had plenty of time to explore Melbourne’s best playgrounds. I may be slightly biased to those in or around Coburg, but we have also ventured out to other suburbs.

  • Melbourne for Kids & Dads: ‘Must-have’ memberships

    Coming to Melbourne we figured it would be great to have a few regular activities to fall back on. The options below have proven to be very worthwhile – the kids are as eager as always to go to any of these, even after visiting pretty much every week this year. Melbourne Zoo The zoo…

  • Melbourne for Kids & Dads: Best day trips to get out in nature

    No matter how nice Melbourne is, there comes a time where you’ll need to step out and enjoy Australia’s nature. Good news is that you don’t have to travel too far – say around an hour by car – to enjoy some pretty epic walks. I’ve listed my favourite outings below!  

  • Melbourne for Kids & Dads: Brunswick Dads Playgroup

    This has been one of our staples, the weekly playgroup meetup for dads in Brunswick. A very welcoming group, no pressure to do anything other then relax, enjoy the kids playing and have some fresh baked bread thanks to Jarek. I’ve found this a great way to meet a very interesting diverse group of guys. Highly…
