TinTin the Musical
We were just in time to see the wonderful (last) performance of TinTin the musical in Rotterdam. The story is based on the cartoon by Herge called Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun (Le Temple du Soleil). The adaptation by Seth Gaaikema is flawless and the cast showed passion and energy. The music was like it should so we had a great time, so did everyone else at the theatre. Jelle Clemans was a good TinTin, his flemish Dutch accent made everything even more enjoyable... :-)

Test drive
Today I had a meeting with Glen al the way up in Leeuwarden. So an excellent chance to make a test drive with the new Prius. It turned out a perfect drive, comfortable, relaxed fast and safe. So the Prius will give you everything you need from a car... On the way I made a short stop at the Lely statue at the "afsluitdijk".

Kurt Wallander and Ystad
Because of the new Prius and the fact that Eddie and I are in the middle of our Kurt Wallander craze I am planning a trip to Ystad, the city where all the Wallander stories take place in the south of Sweden. The tourist board has a sort of three day Wallander program in which you can see all the famous places. The pictures of the immediately surroundings look very promising.

Finally!
finally I could pick up my new Prius today. It turned out everything I wanted it to be. Because I had a meeting at Nijenrode about the set up of the new business club I could make this picture in front of the castle.

Photosynth
At TED 2007 Blaise Aguera y Arcas from Live Labs at Microsoft gave a talk about the latest developments of PhotoSynth. He showed this amazing way to deliver a newspaper on screen. Indefinite zooming is seems to small tumbnails on the paper, blowing them up to full screen pictures and text. This will change the way we navigate. I am not sure if I gasp the endless possibilities of this new technique. In the mean time it is wicked awesome this to see it.

Doctor Atomic
Today the opera "Doctor Atomic"from John Adams went into its European Premiere at the Amsterdam Opera House. It was a big succes. The story, setting, music(!) and performance were all perfect. My guess is that this will turn out to be a classic. Especially the aria from Oppenheimer at the very end of act 1 is brilliant and of extraordinairy quality.
