About
I am Willem Prins, a Dutch web professional living in Brandenburg, Germany. You can find me online as Somtijds.
Somtijds is the name I adopted when I started out as a web professional for in 2010. Somtijds in Dutch simply means “sometimes”. For me, it means that everything we experience now is “the sum of (all) time”.
