The time you got Television, not a television
Posted by Michiel Scholten in posts
A VW van from the 50's of last century, advertising to get Television. That's right, not a television, or a dozen like a modern day US home has, but the concept in general. Times when the whole neighbourhood poured into your living room when a popular program was on. Wonder …
Office war
Posted by Michiel Scholten in posts
Yesterday I ordered a Nerf Maverick from eBay along with some extra arrows. These toy guns shooting soft plastic arrows are quite cool and great for performing an office war [YouTube]. I wanted to keep my arsenal civilised, as otherwise I might have gone overboard and got myself a Nerf …
