Maup is a apprentice at Corus. he was featured in a NRC newspaper article. I keep on wondering what's wrong, why is he looking so sad? I guess because of the horrific overall he has to wear. LOL...

Remember Tjeerd? Marijn, Thijs and I met him at the Microsoft headquarters in Seattle when we were there couple of years ago. He was working with a staff of 35 people on the design of Vista (AKA Longhorn). He must be happy that after all those years Vista hit the market this weeks.

It is a plague: more and more (bronze) statutes are being stolen just for the value of the metal.
The statue in front of the NVM offices in Nieuwegein (a copper ostrich egg) was stolen a couple of weeks ago and this Rodin was nicked from an Art museum in Laren.

In the latest issue of marketing tribune (A Elsevier Reed publication) the cover story is about Funda. It states that funda is under attack from the NVM and that the NVM like a pitbull terrier tries to slow funda down and to stop her in advancing.
On the picture we are the Doberman I think. I wonder who the sad dog left in front is: the consumer? :-)

Has Sony gone mad? Prominent adult movie producer Digital Playground (site) says it is forced to use HD DVD instead of Blu-ray, because Sony does not allow porn movies to be released on Blu-ray. I cannot imagine any guy buying a blue ray DVD player now that he knows that he cannot his favorite movies on such a device...
History repeats it self. Sony should know better.
