💭 Thoughts: XXXX-03

Welcome to the Thoughts section of my blog. Thoughts are better kept on my blog than on Twitter or other online platforms.


About listening to music

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Sometimes I like to listen to music, I listen to a song, which gives me a good feeling, then another and another. I feel really good, sometimes I could even dance, although I don’t really like dancing.

Text-to-speech is becoming more popular

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

I am a slow reader. I read a lot on websites, but not quickly and I often get distracted while reading. What I like therefore is a pre-reading option.

Move mastered

Watching movies

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Today I watched a movie. Not a very good one, but one that entertained me. It was funny and I didn’t feel bored, as I do with some other films.

There are good boring movies, just as there are also not so good, but entertaining movies (which kind of makes them good, doesn’t it?). What counts is not so much the niveau of the movie (or how low the jokes are), but more whether it was worth the time to watch the movie. Only when I think that I wasted my time with a bad, boring movie, then it was the wrong decision to watch it.
