A funny report in Volkskrant Magazine about the collection of Frank Schallmaier of similar profile pictures on gay social websites. It seems that everybody thinks the same.

Meanwhile at the Zomoto HQ...

Warp 10! The new Star Trek

06:58 mareku 0 Comments

It's funny, high paced, has a great story and likeable characters: Star Trek, the movie. The actors remind you of the original cast, but then again have a magic of their on. The story about Spock is probably the best of all the Star Trek movies. I really hope that this is a fresh start of the franchise. FOr me this is one of the best movies ever...

I have been in & out The Andreas Hospital these days. The really super friendly and helpfull staff there are taking my injury very serious indeed. I have now a plastic surgeon to look after my middle finger and the speed with which things are improving is great. It will take about 6 weeks before I can start the rehabilitation process with my already assigned nurse. In the mean time everybdoy is very suporting and helping me out. thanks! :-))

I made this 360 pano on a mountain at Rudolf, near Weimar, Germany. I shot it just by hand (about 18 pix) and then stitched it with PS CS4.

I went to my mumm this afternoon for mothersday and on the way back thought that I could get through a traffic light. Eddie who was driving in front of my thought otherwise and stopped just in time. I tried to make an emergency stop, but blocked my front wheel and slighed with my bike a couple of meters over the (hard) asphalt.  My left leg is wounded and right hand a little bit broken. the ambulance came quickly and I was repaired in no time. Luckily I was wearing my full faced helmet and a motor jacket with protection - stupidly I was only wearing (white) jeans in stead of my special motor trousers. Bike was scratched - but was OK! It will take a week or 4 to recover...

2) Under the Tuscan Sun
3) Shirley Valentine
4) The matchmaker of Perigord
5) My house in Umbria
6) A good Year
7) In Maremma
8) Tea with Mussolini
9) Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis
10) Mr. Blandings builds his dream House

With EU profiler I tried to figure out which party to vote for at the European Elections June 4. Nationally I keep my Democrat / Liberal preference with D66, but the party which most resembles my views is the Liberal Democrats of the UK.
