The Nobel peace prize 2009 - my line up

20:18 mareku 1 Comments


I am very happy that Barack won the Nobel peace prize- I am sure that this will encourage him and so many others to continue on the road he has been going. My line up for this year was:
  1. Morgan Tsvangirai - If one man symbolizes change through peaceful actions he is it. He really needs more recognition from the world to end the brutality in Zimbabwe.
  2. Václav Havel - as a salut for all the work he has done for peace in the Czech Republic, Central and Eastern Europe and the world.
  3. Barack Obama - I still don't know how but somehow this guy can listen, make people listen and act. 

Naked men from the upcoming Swann Photographs auction




A nice collection of "nude male" photographs on sale October 22th at Swann, New York.
Photo's from Avedon, Von Gloeden, Bianchi, Hine, Forbes, Seidner and McDermott

Finally: I ordered The Amazon Kindle (2)


Amazon made a very interesting offer with their new kindle 2 - international version. For $279 (plus shipping and tax) you can download books ($11.99) almost everywhere in the world within 60 seconds.
Although I already own a iRex Iliad, I thought this was an offer I couldn't refuse and so pre-ordered my kindle. It will be delivered in two weeks :-))

From this week's New Yorker...

The conservative party will win the next elections - no doubt about that. But the way they are organising themselves is pretty good. Have a look at their campaign website: myconservatives and see how they are using web 2.0 to mobilize volunteers and voters.

The Ugly Truth

The Ugly Truth is that this movie totally SUCKS. It is a mindless, foul, formula movie without any nice moment (or pretty people).
