A special bonus for bankers


The new Christmas Carol is a visual Bonanza. Especially in IMAX 3D. A must see for all bankers, let's say as a special bonus ;-)

Barack strikes again - best Nobel acceptance speech (ever?)

15:37 mareku 0 Comments


Barack did it again - with his Nobel Peace prize acceptance speech he eloquent explained why when being in pursuit of peace one sometimes have to be prepared to take up arms and to combat. He also addressed the criticism of some that you got this prize way to early. In short: it was an other example of how to speech...
Take a moment to read the end - wow!

Somewhere today, in the here and now, in the world as it is, a soldier sees he's outgunned, but stands firm to keep the peace. Somewhere today, in this world, a young protestor awaits the brutality of her government, but has the courage to march on. Somewhere today, a mother facing punishing poverty still takes the time to teach her child, scrapes together what few coins she has to send that child to school --because she believes that a cruel world still has a place for that child's dreams.
Let us live by their example. We can acknowledge that oppression will always be with us, and still strive for justice. We can admit the intractability of deprivation, and still strive for dignity. Clear-eyed, we can understand that there will be war, and still strive for peace. We can do that -- for that is the story of human progress; that's the hope of all the world; and at this moment of challenge, that must be our work here on Earth.

Lately I've run into some troubles with my Honda CB1000R. I am not sure why, but I keeping getting little flaws with this bike. The last thing is that I cannot rely on the head light anymore. So maybe I must look out for a new bike in spring. What about the new Kawasaki Z1000? 1043 cc - maroon brown with a (imitation) snake buddy seat. So bad it is awesome again :-)

The last Van Veeteren

After Wallander, Annika Bengtzing, Beck it is now the end of our DVD box of Van Veeteren. So we have seen almost all swedish detectives available on DVD (with subtitles). I liked Van Veeteren especially because it supposedly is set in Amsterdam - or Maasdam as it is called in the series. The funny thing is that the whole thing is filmed in Sweden...
