The spelling mistake in the first sentence really throws me off. I'm not trying to be overly picky or pedantic but after reading only 7 words into a multiple-thousand word long post and seeing an error, I begin to think that this may be a tough read. I also subconsciously begin to assume that the browser this person wrote must be riddled with bugs. Whether that's fair or not.

"This blogpost starts with me switching of my car radio..."

Considering the .nl domain, the author probably isn't a native speaker. Homophones can easily trip us up.
Fair enough :)
