About

Dotcomslashblog (formerly NDNL) is written and maintained by Nils Geylen, web creative by day, web slave by night.

Dotcomslashblog is eclectic, a sorry excuse for lack of focus.

My Picture

For the record, I’m a 38-year old guy living in Antwerp, Belgium.

Characters I identified with as a kid included:

  • David Lightman from WarGames
  • Tintin
  • Luke Skywalker
  • Elliott from E.T.

This hasn’t changed much, I’m afraid.

These days, I’m a “web creative” for a local IT firm. This means I get to play with apps a lot, creating text and pictures and video. Obviously, what I write here reflects my own views, and not necessarily those of my employer, though the two may correspond.

I like Apple. I like Volvo. I like coffee.

I’m not married but I have a GF so I’m cool. We try to maintain two cats and a Dalmatian.

I’m a socialist, atheist and republican (as in anti-royalist, not anti-Democrat).

I like taking pictures but hate mementos. And sure, I like music and movies and books.

Yesterday sucks. Machines should rule the world. Space is awesome.
