I am totally hooked on Dan Cruickshank's adventure in architecture currently on BBC Two. It is a terrif journey in search of some of the greatest buildings and places of the world. Places I never heard of - or see.
It made me curious to his other earlier series - which I am now downloading :-)

I was at the Dutch Institute for Image and Sound in Hilversum to have atour at their archive. It is huge with more then 80.000 hours of television alone. In the picture you see one of the 54 vaults they have packed with tapes. The nice thing about this archive is that everyone can search and watch fragments.

Inventions can be made.

A nice article of Malcolm Gladwell in the New Yorker of last week: how humans can invent if they just put their minds to it. We all recognize that when brainstorming some amazing ideas can pop up. Why don't we do this more often? It could help to overcome some of the major issues we are facing today.

ASIMO, met its latest challenge yesterday evening: Conducting the Detroit Symphony in a performance of
"The Impossible Dream" from "Man of La Mancha."

"Hello, everyone," ASIMO said to the audience in a childlike voice, then waved to the orchestra. As it conducted, it perfectly mimicked the actions of a conductor,
nodding its head at various sections and gesturing with one or both
hands. ASIMO took a final bow to enthusiastic shouts from the audience.

Robert Downey Jr is great as Iron Man. A little bit to much Audi for my taste - for the rest an enjoyable movie.
