Wow! - a MUST see
A roller coaster movie: Batman Dark knight is a must see in IMAX. One of the best movies ever... Super story, excellent Acting (from everyone actually) awesome directing and great sound effects. (Even the music from Zimmerman was OK)
WWII Airplane crashes
In the impressive museum for crashed airplanes in Heemskerk you see how brave the crew were during that times. More then 7.000 planes crashes in Holland (mostly on their way to Germany and back). I didn't know about this musem but passed it by chance during a little tour on my motor bike.
Chocolate stamps
Funny: chocolate stamps from Switserland: when you lick them it really tastes like chocolate!
People of Berlin – people of the world – this is our moment. This is our time.
Barack stood a huge audience of more then 200.000 people in Berlin. Never before a president cadidate admitted that the US is always perfect: "I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled
to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people.
We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions
around the world have not lived up to our best intentions."
It is clear that the world wants Obama, needs Obama. It is now up to the americans to make that dream come true...
to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people.

Chevrolet Camaro
On pix these US muscle cars always look awesome - in reality it is usually made in a very bad finish...
Richard
Richard Eringfeld, a very good business contact from SNS Bank, died in a trike accident. For no apparent reason he clashed into a tree. Wearing no Helmet he injured his head so severly that he was in coma instantly. He was only 43 years old... I will miss him deeply because of his vision, passion and warmth.

Sorry seems to be the hardest word
I ordered weeks ago some stuff at the German Motor Bike shop Louis. They sent it of via Deutsche Post so it got here in Amsterdam in the hands of Select Vracht. Which is a disastrous courier. They came unannounced and did came when they promised to come. The package was sent back to Germany and then back again. Finally eddie picked it up for me. I wrote a complaint to the Management whom - I must admit - reacted promptly and correct.
A party at Zomoto and our first company cars
The office warming of Zomoto today was well visited and we got all kinds of nice presents like this Carrera race track - with two cars. It took Steven and Me at least an hour to put it all together. :-)
Lisa 6 years
While I used to play with Lego and Fisher Technic, kids nowaday have their first digital videocamera when they are 6.
I am still waiting for the first movies of Lisa Riefenstahl...

250 km...
I got this throphy award from Nike Plus after running more then 250 km on my new shoes. Sweet!
ATM on fire
An attack on the ATM across the street kept me awake last night. Somebody tried to burn the machine - probably out of pure frustration.
Do ask - Do Tell
Congress should repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" law because the
presence of gays in the military is unlikely to undermine the ability
to fight and win, according to a new study released by a
California-based research center.
I know that all along... ;-)
