Lately Pieter’s Post was like cold pizza. With everything being closed I lost my mojo for a while. There was not much to draw inspiration from. But it’s time to get back into it. Time to start serving up the hot pizza that you deserve 🍕

What I’m working on
- Gave my personal website pieterboerboom.nl a visual upgrade
- As a recovering productivity software junkie I’ve stopped using 6 apps in the last year. I’ve updated my uses page with the software and tools I still enjoy using. I’m curious to hear what software or hardware makes your live better!

What I found on the web
Twitter Thread – In 2016 I was cast on a reality dance competition show for influencers. “It’s apparent that they only cast me based off the number of followers I had, without researching who I was— because when I showed up for filming, the producers were extremely upset.”
Twitter Thread – Matt, the worst movie theater projectionist ever
“Matt once got into an argument with another employee so fierce that the off-duty cop who was doing security had to break them up all because Matt had established that 50 Cent’s “Get Rich or Die Trying” movie was based on Hamlet (it wasn’t)”
