Toilet graffiti

-780365591

This graffiti is fleeting human contact, both of us lost. But for a moment we're lost together. I wonder who you are?

I didn't write this, found it on a bathroom wall. Beautifull thoughts.

My first hand tattoo

15784704431

Learnt to tattoo by hand, as opposed to with a tattoo machine, this weekend. Made this one on my ankle and quite happy about it.

It's an ongoing project. Not sure where the line of the spiral is going to end up, will see when I tattoo the rest of it. ;)

Het einde van privacy

Herinnert u zich privacy nog? Dat was een idee dat ooit bestond, ergens in de 20e eeuw. Gelukkig hebben Facebook en Google ons ondertussen in de 21e eeuw gedragen en dit ouwbollige concept begraven.

Diaspora invites

I've still got a lot of invites for joindiaspora.com, if you want one, let me know via dhuyvetter.eu/contact. I have the impression more and more people are discovering Diaspora, but in social networking it is true that the more, the merrier. ;)

If you're already on Diaspora, my handle is ddhuyvet@joindiaspora.com

Why I use DuckDuckGo

Google, Bing and other search engine make a search "bubble", and only give you results in line with sites you already visited. This reduces the chance of finding intersting sites and narows your view of the world wide web to a bubble: http://dontbubble.us/

Google used to have a motto "don't be evil", that was a long time ago. Unless privacy is evil in Google's world. Don't wanna be tracked? http://donttrack.us/

So what alternatives do you have? My favorite is DuckDuckGo: http://duckduckgo.com/ I used to use Scroogle, but that only adresses the privacy issue since all results come from Google. DuckDuckGo is what MetaSearch used to be ten years ago: returning results from a wide range of search engines. DuckDuckGo is my weapon of choice, for sure! ;)
