Long term review of the Z1000


Michael Neeves from MCN is testing the Kawasaki Z1000 (my bike!) this summer. Some remarks he makes do ring a bell (limited fuel range / stupid fuell meter) - others I cannot agree with like the tires or suspension. But let's see what his verdict is at the end of the summer.

Pippi igen...

 
Jag kunde inte låta bli och jag hämtade ändå Pippi av DVD med Inger Nilsson som Pippi... (Den ursprungliga dubbning på nederländska var verkligen mycket roligt - (Annika och Tommy: Oh, Pippi dat mag je niet -  O Pippi det får du inte!)

Här kommer Pippi Långstrump!

Pippi var en den mina favoriter i Astrid Lindgrens värld när jag växte upp, jag hade nog Pippis äventyrslust i mig, men också inslag av den något ängsliga och präktiga Tommy.
Nu kan jag äntligen läsa böcker i den ursprungliga texten. Jag började i bok ett: "Känner du Pippi Långstrump?" - med bilder av Ingrid Nyman.
Det är mycket lätt (och röligt)!

What is it with Germans and Ice cream?

 
Everywhere in Germany you will find "Eis salons".  I wonder what they sell in the winter. But anyway: the Germans really crave Ice cream and usually it is the busiest place in town.

Varus Mask

 
The Teutoburgerwald is also famous because of the defeat of the Roman commander Publius Quintilius Varus (above his mask) against the Germanic tribesmen of the Cheruscian leader Arminius in 9 CE. Three legions were annihilated and Germania remained independent from Roman rule ever since. No wonder the Germans like to remember this!
There were so many coins found, that the people of Bramsche called the site Goldacker (field of gold).
Funny fact: a little town called Varseveld (= Varus' field) can be found in eastern Holland.

Teutoburgerwald


 
We had a nice motor trip to the Teutoburger forrest near Osnabruck, Germany. It's a great hilly quiet area - super for serious motor riding. So no wonder we saw hundreds of motor bikes :-)

Oh - and the secret is: take the best ingredients, your sharpest knife and take your time...

An evening in Tilburg

Had a great evening presenting to students of Tilburg University about entrepreneurship - something I should know about by now, but realize every time again that it is probably something that you never really learn or understand but just have to do and enjoy. Nice talk by Niels Peteri of Quooker about the long, long way his company / family had to take to finally achieve the fabulous success the have now.

The Road to Quote

I will be presenting at the Road to Quote conference in Tilburg this evening. Question is of course: would you want to be in the top-500 of Quote anyway? Not sure yet what I will present...

The day I forgot my iphone - but wasn't fired

After a meeting today - I forgot my (3G) iPhone somewhere in the south of Holland. Unlike Gray Powell - who lost his (4G) one last week, I don't think it will have any other consequence then not to be able to be reached by phone for a couple of days... Thx to mobileme by the way I could track and trace the whereabouts of my phone by the minute: cute!

New running track - new Audio Bullys Album

The Audio Bullys are back (finally!) their new album "Higher than the Eiffel" sounds like good old "Ego War" so very useful when I am stuck at 12 km running and still have a couple of km to go. And with tracks names as "feel", "dynamite", "drained out", "smiling" and "kiss the sky"(my favorite and new power song on my iPod) what can go wrong?

Happy Trooper :-)

Marijn & I got our iPad's today and it was awesome to "play" with our new gadgets. The speed of internet browsing is truly amazing and some apps are terrific. Don't have time to go any deeper into it: got to go back to my iPad... ;-)
