Kraak & Smaak, the team of Mark Kneppers, Oscar De Jong and Wim Plug does it again! After their great "Boogie Angst" album, they released Plastic People which is even better funky dance music. Not bad for a couple of guys from Leiden. I really like the song "Ready for Life" - I guess this wil be a huge hit in a couple of..uh..days? listen at www.kraaksmaak.nl

Traditional tattoos, or ta moko, were once a source of discrimination
against New Zealand’s half a million Maori population, but the art has
been revived amid renewed ethnic pride.

Lots of Maori now are getting tattoos again - but not so much on their faces anymore; shame actually ;-)

Panny's Lumix DMC-TZ50 isn't brand new or anything -- after all, we first caught wind of this WiFi-equipped point-and-shoot late last month
in Japan. Nevertheless, Panasonic is now announcing that said camera
will be heading Stateside with 802.11b/g capabilities, access to
T-Mobile HotSpot service and the ability to upload photos directly to
Google's Picasa Web Albums. Yours for about $450.

The art fair in Den Bosch is always fun because of the quality of the artifacts and the affordability.  We went (as usual) with No & Go and they surprised us with a present in the form of a really great print of Alma Tadema which we immediately liked the moment we saw it. I am glad to say that I now hangs pretty in our home :-))
An other picture that struck me at once was Fuel station by the Dutch artist Jan Ros. It looks like a photograph, but actually is a painting. We bought that one as well.
There were some other nice things to see - like glasses from the 18th century at Lameris, but at that time we thought we bought enough and called it a day.
