The Bank Job

Just saw The Bankjob a great movie based on actual events around the 1970's in London. A couple of guys rob a bank and discover some interesting compromising pictures. Jason Statham stars. A pity that the release in Holland is due in July 2008.

It's done!

I made my choice for my new bike: The brand new CB1000R in Pearl Cool White :-)
At Honda Amsterdam I met by coincidence the manager of Honda Netherlands and his European (Japanese) boss. They were very happy that I was customer number 1 for this bike. It should be delivered midd of June.
The only thing I need now is a drivers licence...

I was invited at the CEO dinner of MailMerge which was at this nice Lighthouse Ship in the Harbor of Amsterdam.

Let's stop this drama: it is OBAMA!

J.J. Voskuil

I heard yesterday the news that J.J. Voskuil died on May 1st. He was the writer of the largest novel in Dutch history (5058 pages...) describing 30 years of his work at a scientific office at the middle of the 20st century in Amsterdam. The novel is remarkeable because nothing happens in it... it just describes the (very boring) life at an office... But we all can relate to that one way or the other it is brilliant.

Bought a large piece of Amber with a couple of insects trapped in it. It is amazing that these creatures were trapped 20 million years ago...
