jättebra: Musik från Jan Johansson

Jan Johansson var svensk pianist och jazzmusiker. Sin största publik har han nått med sina versioner av svensk folkmusik i kombination med jazz, framför allt Jazz på svenska som har blivit en modern klassiker och som i olika utgåvor fram till nu har sålt i närmare 400 000 exemplar!
Han ochså skrev signaturmelodin - Här kommer Pippi Långstrump - till TV-serien (senare filmen)byggd på Astrid Lindgrens barnbok Pippi Långstrump.

Autoblog brainstorm

We had a nice brainstorm session with our friend from Autoblog on the beach of Bloemendaal. Although the weather was very excellent - we unfortunately did not had any time to go for a stroll along the sea shore... Maybe next time.

Jag har en Svensk lärare

Idag jag björde min konversation sessions med min ny lärare Piet Hein. Han är en valdigt bra musikant, konstnärlig tecknare och talar mycket gott svenska darför att sin fru är svenska. Jag tycker om den första  "lektion" som vi talade på sverige och lystede på musik från Jan Johansson.

The Roman Catholic didn't hide anything - they made windows out of it...

 
The Roman Church & the pope are really getting in trouble now that they keep on denying that on a large scale abuse was going on (or is it: still going on) in the name of that very same church. How hypocrite can you be? Well I guess with windows like this - we should have know earlier that something was happening...

Norrie May-Welby  became the first person in the world to be classified as genderless after officials in New South Wales, Australia, altered May-Welby's birth certificate to specify the neutral gender. What's next? Gender: None?

Improved ME


 
After I saw some Julian Opies in London a couple of weeks ago, I thought that a little update of my own avatar was due: So here it is. I made 2 versions with a little preference for the top one.

The day I became a certified Apple iPhone Developer



I have so many ideas for iPhone / iPad apps that there are not enough people to build them - so I thought: "Why not make them myself?" So I watched a couple of tutorials, actually bought a book (!) and joined the Apple developer community. With the new SDK 3.2 beta I am now in the process of building my very first app.

Ever decreasing circles

I really am a fan of Richard Briers. Ever since "The Good Life" his unique humor makes me laugh out loud.  Now with the complete DVD collection of "Ever decreasing circles" from the late 1980's he is doing it again. In it he plays Martin Bryce who lives in a quiet suburban close with his wife Anne (Penelope Wilton). He like organising everyone and runs umpteen different societies. Paul Ryman (Peter Egan) his neighbour, is everything Martin is not – adventurous, laissez-faire, flippant, witty, handsome and charming. Also hilarious are Howard and Hilda (Stanley Lebor and Geraldine Newman), neighbours of Martin's who share some of his obsessiveness while having plenty of quirks of their own (such as always wearing "his and hers" matching outfits)...

Halv åtta hos mig

Jag titar ibland på TV4 programet "Halv åtta hos mig". Det är ett matlagningsprogram där amatörkockar får visa sina färdigheter vid spisen och inte svårt som att förstår. En central roll i programmet har den humoristiske och lätt sarkastiske kommentatorn, skådespelaren Helge Skoog. Lyckosam ochsa: det är undertexter...

Spring has arrived - and now I cannot see clearly anymore...


During the dark (cold!) days of winter you really don't notice that the visor of your helmet is actually full of scratches. With the first rays of sun it became clear that I had to change to a new pair. So I did and the world it looking so much better now!

Hero of the day: Nancy Pelosi

OK Barack came up with the idea - but it was Nancy who realized it. She relentlessly chased her fellow democrats and tried to keep of the jumpy frogs into the bucket. And it worked!
See a nice time line of health care politics in the NYT here.  

Barack did what he does best and had a nice speech to celebrate:
“In the end what this day represents is another stone firmly laid in the foundation of the American dream,” the president said. “Tonight, we answered the call of history as so many generations of Americans have before us. When faced with crisis, we did not shrink from our challenges. We overcame them. We did not avoid our responsibilities, we embraced it. We did not fear our future, we shaped it.”
