Telegraaf BBQ

Today we had our first traditional Telegraaf BBQ at Strand Zuid. It was a wonderwfull evening: great weather, good food , lots of entertainment, very big prizes and FUN! I guess there are still treasure chests on the beach - we couldn't find them all back - so if you are there one f these days, start digging!


Macho Putin

Where can you find a country now-a-days where the president is really a strong man? This pictures from his official blog shows Putin at his very best - not bad for a guys of 55... :-)


Amazing resizing of photo's

Technology by Ariel Shamir of the Efi Arazi School of Computer Science in Israel.

Wow: have a look. And I thought that photoshop CS3 and Photosynth were the latest on photo manipulation. This really takes us a big step further. Cannot wait for the commercial version of this software.

Xmas in Bangkok

Just made our reservation for our flights to Bangkok this Xmas. It's now time to try to find out where to stay and what to do. We will be there for a whole month! So time isn't the issue (well maybe it is: we have to much...)
One thing we will certainly go and see is a Thai Boxing match.

Burb! my new Blog Book

After blogging for 4 1/2 years now it seemed a good idea to put my thoughts in print. Especially the oldest one from fotopages and blogger. Luckily Blurb came one with some new nifty software withs slurps your whole blog into a book template. All it needs then is a little editing and your book is ready for print.
Well... that is after Eddie has done his proofreading of course... ;-)

Jos Brink died

1942-2007

I was shocked as everybody that entertainer Jos Brink died today. He always was one of the most visible gays on Dutch Television and has done a lot for gay liberation - and ya: he was very funny too...

Bearforce1



It took only 3 weeks for this new
bear/gay pop group to hit the youtube charts with their first single: Bearforce1. The clip is hilarious but the production value of it all is very reasonable. This has all the potential of a smash hit! (let's hope so)

Nice!

For a test between the new FIAT 500 and the Mini my colleagues of Autovisie drove a car from Italy to the parking deck of our offices. It's a very nice looking (outside AND inside) looking car.

Cosmopoltian

According to the mentality research of Motivaction I am a Cosmopolitan. I think they are spot on!

 

De kosmopoliet
De open en kritische wereldburger die postmoderne waarden als ontplooien en beleven integreert met moderne waarden als maatschappelijk succes, materialisme en genieten.

Het milieu van de kosmopolieten kenmerkt zich door ambitie (hard werken en maatschappelijk hogerop komen), behoefte aan zelfontplooiing en sociale betrokkenheid. Nieuwe ervaringen en kennis opdoen om zich persoonlijk te verrijken vormen belangrijke drijfveren. Men toont een sterk geloof in het realiseren van persoonlijke en sociale ambities. De leefstijl van de kosmopolieten is actief en veelzijdig. Zij hebben een brede interesse op het gebied van kunst en cultuur. Werken neemt in dit milieu een belangrijke plaats in, zowel met het oog op persoonlijke groei als met het oog op maatschappelijke erkenning. Niet alleen werk, maar ook activiteiten in de vrijetijdssfeer worden aangewend om zich persoonlijk te verrijken. Mensen binnen dit milieu hebben een uitgebreid netwerk van sociale contacten.

Budget time

Yep it is that time of the year: budget 2008 must be ready in September... When will it finally stop? I like to make plans though, but not the boring rigid formated ones... :-)

Decoy

The Amsetrdam police will introduce decoy gay cops on the streets in order to curb the violence against gays in the city. Maybe I have to try a new career???

Obama is slipping...

 

Obama has it in him, but he isn't using it. yesterday at the Gay Forum when asked about his stand on Gay marriage he emphasized his support for civil unions that offer full marriage rights - without calling the arrangement marriage - for same-sex couples. The same for Edwards and Clinton, but I had expected more from my own Barrack...

That won't help him in the polls where Hillary is getting stronger everyday it seems.

Fahrenheit 451

Geert Wilders the ultra right Dutch Politician wants to ban the Koran. Sounds to much to book burning to me and we all know that where they start burning books, they will burn humans ( "Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen." Heinrich Heine, from his play Almansor (1821))

I dont believe in banning books, let's not walk away from the real problems.

Les Témoins

A great movie of André Téchiné which is about Manu, his life (and death) in the 1980's. Nice performances of Johan Libreau and of Sami Bouajila (Drole de felix).

Auw!

Russian paratroopers during a demonstration earlier this year. Look at the guys holding the victim: it looks like the left guy is really hurt himself, while the other is praying that he will not be next in line... :-)
