At the London Automobiles auction of RM I found this nice Dodge Challenger for a mere 70.000 pounds. The Dodge Challenger and its Plymouth Barracuda stablemate were the last entrants to the “pony car” club already occupied by the Chevrolet Camaro, AMC Javelin and Ford Mustang, but it has that unabashed muscle car character, especially in this Sublime Green color.

The day when Zomoto became Motomedia


Almost two years after Marijn and I started the company we thought that the name Zomoto isn't really representing what we actually are doing - so starting from today we are calling the firm "Motomedia".
Motomedia is a online automotive network and consists of sites like (zomoto.nl, autoblog.nl, auto.nl, carwoman.nl, and hopefully many more in the near future). To celebrate this event we had dinner at Restaurant The Goudfazant - which was very tasty and nice :-) 

Hmmm... nice..uh..hat!

Uhm... Kindle Buyer's remorse?


While I am still waiting for my Kindle to arrive - I must say that maybe, just maybe the Nook would have been a better option. Wifi, Epub, color display, Micro SD slot, swanky design: it seems the Nook as got it all. You can even lend ebooks to en from friends...
My iLiad definiately is complety worthy for museum purposes only. They only thing that keeps me happy still with my Kindle is that outside of the USA you cannot order a Nook. So in the end, the Kindle is the best (read: only) option!

Finally it is official - I am a writer and just published my first book.


Thanks to the nice people of blurb I received the first copy of my first book - an account of my blog  which I started way back in 2003. The first couple of years I didn't post everyday yet but only when I was traveling. So the first volume of my collected Blog posts book is covering 2003 - 2005. I am very very happy with the way it turned out and the easy with which burb "slurped" my blog post and compiled it into a book. Although every single post is still online and print is completely something form the past - I do like to have so many sweet memories in a book :-)
I am currently editing my blog 2006, part I - so when this is finished I"ll show you the end result.

Chris Messina - the hero of Julie & Julia

Julie & Julia, the movie about Julia Child and Julie Powell has actually one hero: Julie's husband Eric, played by Chris Messina. It is absolutely awesome what this guy accepted of and did for Julie Powell. This woman is really a big mess, dropping things, being hyper and depressed at the same time. But everytime there he is, comforting her and suporting Julie: My buddy Eric...

Who you gonna call?
