On Friday night I attended the official launch of the new Trek Factory Racing team. About 1200 fans, sponsors, Trek retailers and members of the press were in attendance at the special event held at the indoor velodrome in Roubaix. I think it comes as no surprise that they chose this location for their team…

Andy Warhol – Life, Death and Beauty
Yesterday I managed to sneak in a visit to the Andy Warhol exhibition, Life, Death and Beauty, at the recently renovated BAM in Mons. I thought I knew all there is to know about his work (like most of us do, I presume), but I was surprised to learn that there is much more to…

It’s HBO. This is genius! Then again, I might be a bit biased, being an HBO-lover and all, you know.

I think that by now you know that I’m into cycling. If not, then you probably will after reading this post.

If you haven’t had the chance to watch Beyoncé’s Super Bowl 2013 halftime performance, then I’d suggest you do it now as Queen B killed it! Speaking of which, it seems like our Queen has adjusted quite well to her title as you can see in this ad for her upcoming world tour. No word…

Fall traditionally brings us new tunes. The haul this year has been quite impressive and there’s still two months to go in 2012. I’ve had these three albums on repeat for the last couple of weeks. I already can’t wait for more new albums to be released but for now, The Van Jets’ Halo has…

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” – Apple’s “Think Different” commercial, 1997 After spending two weeks on my book shelf, I couldn’t resist the urge any longer and so Steve Jobs’ biography was added to my currently-reading list…
