So it is done: I moved to wordpress. I will stop publishing here and you can find my posts on mareku.nl
Starting today everyone in the world can listen (and buy) my music :-)
My latest album "Heartbeat" is available now on Deezer, iTunes and Spotify among others...
Because we had to say goodbye to Robin Williams to soon I thought it was a good idea to rewatch some movies of him. Sure "Death Poet Society" is probably the best - but on an other level "The Birdcage" is quite good too. I thought he did a good job to match or even surpass Ugo Tognazzi in the original "La cage aux Folles" - which was hard to do, because Ugo was excellent. Sad that so many actors/performers decide to quit - either through drugs or otherwise. It shows how hard performing really is...
I was sorry to hear that Lauren Bacall died. She was such a super star - with an unforgettable expression. I liked almost all of her movies but my favorites are:
How to Marry a Millionaire
Key Largo
Designing Woman
Murder on the Orient Express
The Mirror Has Two Faces
Thanks Lauren for all the wonderful moments.
Is it just me or don't I see the full picture here? I don't like the idea of Head up display helmets like proposed by Skully. It is way to much distraction while riding to see stuff in your display, follow your GPS and to see what's behind you. The aerodynamics are also not ideal if I look at the prototype.
And is the helmet safe? or even comfortable? I let this one pass.
I am probably the only guy in The Netherlands whom really likes the rain which is now pouring down. But I have to run a few races in a couple of weeks and with a scorching sun, training is hard. So with this temperature and a (light!) rain - my running scheme is so much better!
Still not sure about the color though...
Because our new dokterdokter.nl is being build in wordpress I had the chance to revisit this CMS. And in its latest version it's pretty impressive. I always found it to much geeky for my taste - hence I publish on blogger. But this latest version is very userfriendly and offers amazing possibilities. So I am starting a little project to see if I migrate to WP. Keep you posted...
Announced for publication end of September - happy that I just finished my new studio set up.
Better late then never - but still have to finish Last of Us first.
I am not if it's getting better. I think I stick to Adam West :-)
I had been a while since I had dinner in restaurant "Le Garage" so it was an excellent idea of No to take us there for Mike's birthday. I had a great evening with fun company and tasty food.
Sure it is fun to see Ellar Coltrane grow up - but just as intriguing is it to see the other actors mature - especially Ethan Hawke which portraits a dad who (although divorced) is a sort of dad every guy would like to have.
Ellar reminds me of River Phoenix whom I liked and admired - let's hope he stays on track.
All the winners are great - but this Český Krumlov picture gave me sweet old memories about this amazing village in the south of the Czech Republic (Bohemia)
Finally got time to buy and read the latest Blake & Mortimer: The Septimus Wave. Not a great album - but good enough for a sunday afternoon.
Today Dick Bruna announced that he stopped drawing: that is a huge loss for all the Miffy fans - luckily Bruna has made a template that will continue for centuries to come... So can everyone after us always enjoy his unique style.
Sure I would like to have to new (announced) Nexus 6 - but in the meantime it would be nice to take a look at windows phone 8.1. But until now I had no luck in updating my Lumia 920 - so I stick to the Nexus 5 for the moment.
