Hi, I'm Martijn Vreugde this is a collection of my rambling thoughts on modern media, inspirational design and... well pretty much anything I found interesting enough to share with you fine upstanding folks of the internet.

So I just signed up to the new Smart phone/device promotion with FNB because well to be frank, Standard Bank was driving me crazy with their ineptitude. Standard bank just last month locked all my accounts and didn’t even notify me, even though they have my Cell phone number, Home Number, Work Number and Email address, because… wait for it…. hide the children…. are you sitting down…. the colosally suspicious transaction of R8.14 THE HORROR!!!!!! Now just to clarify, that’s R8 and 14 cents I’ve tiped car guards more money. Thankfully I wasn’t on any dates at the time otherwise I’d be in the back doing dishes while the girl sent sms’s to her ex.
Now FNB over the last few years has really shown they are moving with the times. Investing in IT and helping the users/customers, they even have an iPhone App people!! I mean come on! Their Online banking system is slick and jacked up (Don’t ask about Standard Banks online presence, it’s just so sad, and I don’t wanna kick them when they are down) you can even do Forex online.
Now mention must be made to the event of the year, that they hold every year… the legendary… the epic… FNB Whisky Live Festival which to be honest I look forward to more than my birthday.
How it has taken me this long…. I just don’t know….
So, soon my new toy will arrive, don’t look at me like that, I chose them for their banking practices not the new gadget…honest…I swear….Oh shut up.

This is sheer genius, I whish they did this here in SA where we wait for eons at a time… however the banks will never go for a fake Pick n Pay or WoolWorths being in their branch. Then again it does help put us into debt so it’s win/win really…
