POSTRmagazine 13: The Fear Issue – Out Now!
Late night. The night howls around your house. Floorboards creak upstairs, moaning out like sinners who have been in Hell for too long. The wind creeps its way in through the cracks in your psyche and gleefully whispers threats into your ear. You’re all alone.

When local democracy is at risk
We here at POSTRmagazine really hate to say we told you so but we did tell you back in 2009 that Pieter De Crem, current Minister of Defence in Belgium, is a threat to our democracy. You must know that Pete is also the Major of a city called Aalter and with local elections coming [...]

Blow your pension and leave your wife…
It could be sort of the end of the world maybe If the more pessimistic interpretations of the Mayan calendar are right, we have less than a year before all of us become molecular building blocks in the great circle of life again. How will it happen? Who knows! It could be any given horrifying [...]

Nalden’s Crowd
If there’s one tip I can give blog owners it’s to check your stats from time to time. We here at POSTRmagazine are not men of numbers, we’re men of action so it’s no surprise that we don’t wake up every morning to check our daily analytics. Earlier this week I decided it was time to log into our Piwik Analytics and take a look at how many people had actually visited our website during the last month.

POSTRmagazine #8: The Design Issue
We’re back with a new issue of the most critical and least considerate magazine you’ll ever get for free. This time we decided it was time to talk about design and who’s behind all those objects that surround us every day? Why do we care we hear you ask.
We’re Back! And we’re sorry.
Yes we’re sorry. Sorry you had to read all those magazines filled with beautiful emptiness during the last 3 months. We’re sorry for Gutless hipster-brand-accounts not believing in our magazine and what We stand for. We’re sorry for all that is dismal in your everyday existence.
